Set up the Stepstone integration

Objective

This guide will help you post a Vacancy on StepStone. When a candidate applies via StepStone with their CV using 'Quick-Apply', the data from the CV is sent to Textkernel for CV parsing. StepStone receives this data back as an XML file, which is transferred directly into the HR for Dynamics system. Explicit CV parsing on your part is then no longer necessary.

HR Manager
Publish the Vacancy on Stepstone
