Note: If you prefer to choose a different name for this stage, reach out to support@crosschq.com for assistance.

Configure Crosschq templates

Templates are reference request configurations that are used to trigger requests from ATS connectors. You have to set up your Crosschq templates to be able to send Crosschq requests from an ATS.

Within Crosschq, go to Organization Settings > Templates. Select Create New Template. 

Enter the required information such as template name, add in an ATS Tag for that template, and create a description of the template.  

Within the Request Settings, add in the position, select the appropriate survey, and configure the number/type of references you want to be associated with this request. Please note, the relationship type can either be specified or you can select any relationship type and let the candidate determine the type of reference. Additionally, you can add customized notes to each specific reference request, i.e. "Please provide a manager reference from X company."

From there, add in optional hiring manager information. Finally, you can create custom emails or text messages associated with each template by filling out the custom notifications section. When you are done, select Create Template.

At any point, if you need to edit or delete a template, select the three dots next to the template and you can manage from there. 

After creating your templates, the next step is to integrate them into Bullhorn for use.

Within Bullhorn, go to Menu > Admin > Field Mapping

Next, locate the Job Submission tab and create a new field.

  • Display: Crosschq Template

  • Required: Yes
