Facebook and PeopleForce Integration: Automatic Candidates Creation

PeopleForce is an HRM/HRIS platform for recruiting and personnel management. Almost all the tools that HR managers may need in their work are concentrated here. With this service, they no longer have to deal with maintaining paper documentation, storing hundreds of spreadsheets, and managing dozens of browser tabs. By the way, it is suitable not only for recruiters but also for company managers, teams, and individual employees. In our article, you will learn how to set up PeopleForce and Facebook integration to automate the creation of candidates in the HRM platform based on completed Facebook lead forms.

Facebook today helps to solve various tasks. The popularity of this social network and the solid set of tools it has for interacting with the audience make it possible to successfully solve recruiting problems. Of course, it cannot be called a 100% alternative to specialized resources for finding employees. Nevertheless, it can serve as a good addition to them.

PeopleForce is a flexible HRM system that optimizes the work of HR specialists and automates recruiting processes. It significantly speeds up and simplifies hiring, onboarding, performance management, time tracking, and other tasks. It helps businesses centralize information about employees, increase the speed of recruiting, track candidates, and automate business routines.

Do you use Facebook and PeopleForce in your work? If so, then you probably had to manually transfer data from lead forms filled out by applicants on the social network to an HRM system. Did you know that this process can be automated? Now we will tell you how to do this.

This is a no-code tool with which you can quickly and easily set up integrations between different systems and platforms. SaveMyLeads provides many ready-made solutions for Google services, Email and SMS services, CRM systems, task managers, instant messengers, and more.
