What the recruiting module doesn't do for you
- Recruiters carrying too many jobs. Each recruiter handles many roles at once, and screening takes a back seat.
- Candidates contacted too late. The longer the first conversation takes, the more likely strong candidates have already accepted another offer.
- Uneven interview write-ups. Interview notes depend on how much time the recruiter had left after the conversation.
How the UKG Pro integration works
- You authorize the connection. During setup, an UKG Pro admin authorizes Delectus to read your jobs and applications.
- Applications arrive in Delectus. Jobs, applications and resumes are imported automatically, read-only: nothing is changed in UKG Pro.
- The agents take over. Each resume is compared to the job, then the prescreening agents contact the candidates you pick.
What does the Delectus UKG Pro integration add?
UKG Pro is UKG's HR suite for large enterprises. It covers employee management, payroll, talent and recruiting, with applicant tracking built into the rest of the HR record.
At a large enterprise running UKG Pro, recruiting follows a defined, shared process. Delectus doesn't replace it: it picks up jobs and applications read-only and speeds up the stages that still depend on recruiters' time, meaning resume reading, prescreening and interview prep.
For an HR department, the benefit is twofold. Recruiters save time on repetitive stages, and candidates are assessed on the same criteria from one business unit to another, with explained rankings that can be checked. The process defined in UKG Pro remains the reference.
Screen UKG Pro applications without rereading everything
Each resume imported from UKG Pro is read by AI and compared to the job's criteria. You get a ranking where every candidate has a fit score and its reasons: experience close to the role, a must-have skill found in the resume, a compatible location.
No candidate is set aside without you. The ranking helps you read the closest candidates first, and a summary sums up each one's strengths and gaps. If you have a specific question about a candidate, the AI chat answers it from the resume.
Candidates contacted while you handle everything else
The SMS prescreening agent texts the candidates you shortlist. It says it's an AI, gets their consent, then checks the job's key points: availability, expectations, commute, working conditions. It adjusts its tone to a hesitant or a hurried candidate, and the conversation can also happen on WhatsApp.
A candidate who stays silent after two follow-ups gets a call from the voice prescreening agent, which holds a real phone conversation. The answers land in the candidate profile sorted by criterion, with the call transcript, and you're notified as soon as a candidate replies.
Example: a healthcare group hiring nursing assistants
A group of healthcare facilities posts nursing assistant jobs in UKG Pro for several sites. Delectus ranks the applications on the required certification and proximity to the facility, with the reasons for each ranking. The SMS agent checks availability and the type of contract wanted, and the voice agent calls back those who didn't reply. Site managers get candidates ready for the interview.
AI interview or assisted interview
Depending on the role, the first interview can be run by Alicia, the Delectus AI interviewer, at a time that suits the candidate, or by the manager over video with the agent transcribing and suggesting follow-up questions. Either way, the same kit of questions is the starting point and the final report covers the candidate's answers.
UKG Pro integration: your HR data stays untouched
The connection is read-only and covers recruiting only. Delectus picks up your jobs, applications and resumes without writing anything to UKG Pro. Your employee records, payroll and the rest of your HRIS stay outside its scope.
The imported data is hosted in the European Union and isn't used to train any model. It follows your retention periods, and the hiring decision always stays with your teams.
