Workable proof types and permissions

Written by Hyperproof Support
Updated this week

Hyperproof uses Merge, a third-party API, to retrieve data from applicant tracking apps. Hyperproof uses the Application:Read , Candidate:Read, Job:Read, JobInterviewStage:Read, RejectReason:Read, and Remote:User scopes. If you are interested in learning more about the permissions needed for applicant tracking Hypersyncs that use Merge, refer to the Merge Authentication Guides page in their Help Center.

Note: This Hypersync is not supported in Hyperproof Gov.

When you configure a Hypersync for Workable on a control or label, you can automatically collect the following proof types:

Blocking sensitive data

When Hyperproof connects to a Merge Hypersync, we intentionally minimize data exposure and follow least-privilege principles. Sensitive data can't be blocked entirely from within Hyperproof; it can only be blocked at the source. We recommend working with the System Administrator for the app you are accessing to configure a service account specifically for Hyperproof with access only to the data you need the Hypersync to collect.

Requirements

To connect to Workable and collect proof, your Workable configuration must meet the following requirements.

  • You must be a Workable administrator.

  • Subdomain - Your Workable subdomain. For example, if you sign in to Workable at acme.workable.com, then your subdomain is acme.

  • API Key - Only required for API Key or access token authentication.

    1. Log in to your Workable portal.

    2. Click your profile icon and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

    3. Select Integrations in the left menu.

    4. In the Access tokens section of the page, locate your API Key. If you don't have an API key yet, click Generate new token.

    5. Configure Scopes. The minimum scopes required are

      • r_candidates

      • r_jobs

    6. Copy your API Key and store it in a secure location.

Note: Hyperproof connects to many third-party systems that frequently change, including the system interface. Contact your System Administrator or the third-party provider for assistance in meeting the requirements to integrate with Hyperproof and collect the proof you need.

Connection configuration

Authentication type: Custom​

Custom authentication parameters:

  • My credentials - Subdomain, Email, and Password, or third-party authentication, such as Google.

  • API Key or access token - Subdomain, API Key

When you configure a Hypersync for Workable for the first time, you must provide the following information:

  • API Key or access token (recommended)

    • Subdomain

    • API Key

  • My credentials

    • Subdomain

    • Email and Password, or third-party authentication, such as Google.

The first time you run this Hypersync, it may take up to 24 hours to load all data.

Note: You only need to connect Hyperproof to the app once, and then you can create as many Hypersyncs as you need.

Additionally, you can create multiple Hypersyncs for a single control or label.
