How JobTalk AI Integrates with UKG Pro (Ultimate)

JobTalk AI connects to UKG Pro (Ultimate) via a real-time two-way API integration. The moment a candidate enters your UKG Pro (Ultimate) pipeline — whether sourced, applied, or referred — JobTalk AI can immediately begin automated voice outreach, SMS follow-up, and scheduling without any manual action from your recruiters.

1
Connect your UKG Pro (Ultimate) account — JobTalk AI authenticates via the UKG Pro (Ultimate) API with read/write access. Setup takes under 15 minutes.
2
Define trigger rules — choose which stages, job types, or candidate statuses in UKG Pro (Ultimate) automatically trigger JobTalk AI outreach. Example: any candidate moving to "Shortlisted" triggers an AI phone screen.
3
AI reaches out in minutes — JobTalk's AI voice agent calls the candidate, conducts a structured phone screen (customised to your role), and handles scheduling — all without a recruiter on the line.
4
Results sync back to UKG Pro (Ultimate) — call transcripts, scores, screening notes, and scheduled interview details write back automatically to the candidate's record in UKG Pro (Ultimate). Your ATS stays as the source of truth.
5
Recruiters act on warm leads — your team only engages once the AI has pre-qualified, screened, and scheduled. No more wasted calls on unresponsive candidates.

Reaching 10x–20x More Candidates from Your UKG Pro (Ultimate) Database

Most recruiting teams using UKG Pro (Ultimate) are sitting on a gold mine: thousands of past applicants, silver-medallists, and sourced candidates who were never contacted, or who went cold after one touchpoint. JobTalk AI unlocks this dormant database.

Here is how UKG Pro (Ultimate) users use JobTalk AI to dramatically scale candidate outreach without adding headcount:

Re-Engage Your Existing UKG Pro (Ultimate) Talent Pool

The average UKG Pro (Ultimate) database contains thousands of candidates who applied for previous roles, were never placed, or were qualified but passed over due to timing. JobTalk AI can systematically re-engage your entire talent pool with personalised AI voice calls — at a scale no recruiter team can match manually.

Automate First-Touch Screening for New Applicants

Instead of your recruiters spending hours calling new applicants who may or may not pick up, JobTalk AI handles every first-touch phone screen automatically. Every new candidate in UKG Pro (Ultimate) gets a consistent, professional AI-conducted screening call within minutes of applying — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Run Parallel Outreach at Scale

A single JobTalk AI campaign can make hundreds of concurrent outreach calls simultaneously. Where a recruiter might call 20–30 candidates per day, JobTalk AI can reach 500–1,000 candidates in the same period — identifying the most interested and qualified candidates and surfacing them to your team in real time.

Automated Screening Calls

AI conducts structured phone screens with every UKG Pro (Ultimate) candidate, scoring responses and syncing results back to your ATS automatically.

Instant Interview Scheduling

Qualified candidates self-schedule directly from the call using JobTalk AI's calendar integration — no recruiter coordination required.

SMS & Email Follow-Up

Missed calls trigger automatic SMS and email follow-ups, ensuring no candidate in your UKG Pro (Ultimate) pipeline is left unreached.

Two-Way ATS Sync

All call outcomes, transcripts, and scheduling details write back to UKG Pro (Ultimate) automatically — keeping your existing workflows intact.

Multilingual Outreach

JobTalk AI speaks 30+ languages, enabling outreach to candidates in their native language — critical for diverse U.S. enterprise hiring.

Compliance-Safe
