Getting set up with Archer & Avature

Last updated: May 13, 2026

Archer uses an XML feed from Avature so your jobs are posted and paused automatically between Avature and hackajob.
This setup only needs to be done once and takes about two weeks from when you share the details with your Customer Success Manager (CSM).

What You’ll Need To Share

  1. Attribution Method: Share how applications are attributed to hackajob, usually by appending a suffix to the application URL. Some examples are below

careers.company.com?src=AB-1234

careers.company.com?source=Job_Board_Name

  1. An XML feed — this automatically shares your open jobs with Archer.

Your CSM will use both to get everything connected and tested.

Step 1. Obtain Information from your Avature Team

Typically Avature instances are custom to your company and managed by an internal / integrations team within your company. If you use any jobs boards like Indeed or LinkedIn, Archer needs a similar setup (though he's a lot smarter 🧠)

You can send the "What you need to share" information with your team to get started.

With this setup it allows us to access only publicly shared job information and ensure applicants are attrited back to hackajob.

If you are unable to get an XML feed please speak with your CSM. Depending on your setup we may be able to help!

Step 2. Share with Your CSM

Send your CSM:

  • How we attribute hackajob

  • The XML feed

They’ll confirm the feed setup, test that applicant tracking works correctly, and let you know when Archer is ready to start pulling jobs.

What Happens Next

  1. We test everything on our end.

  2. You’ll receive confirmation that tracking and filtering are working.

  3. Archer begins sourcing and inviting relevant candidates.

Once that’s done, your roles will update automatically and applications will flow into Workday — no extra work needed.
