Oracle Integration
Oracle’s recruiting integration with Willo allows you to seamlessly invite your candidates to a Willo interview. In this article, we will cover how to:
- Enable the Oracle integration
- Configure the integration for each interview

Enable the Oracle integration
Note: When the integration is enabled, all data will be synchronized. The next synchronization could be up to 3 hours later. For the most seamless integration process, please ensure you have configured all of the jobs you wish to pull through to Willo before enabling the integration.
To get started, visit the Integrations page within the Willo application and search for the Oracle integration. Alternatively, click here.
Expand the integration tile and select Enable. This will launch a pop-up and you will need to grant access permissions to Willo in order for the integration to work.
Once you have enabled this, you will be taken through the authorization process onscreen in order to enable the integration.

Configure the integration for each interview
Once you have enabled the integration, you will notice an integration dropdown within each of your interviews.

By clicking on this dropdown, you will see the most recent list of jobs imported from Oracle.
In order to connect one, or many jobs to this interview, you will need to select the desired job and corresponding trigger stage (the point in your process when an invite should be sent to the candidate) and select Apply as shown in the screenshot below.

Invite and review your video interviews
Once your Oracle job and Willo interview are successfully connected, each time you move a candidate to the defined stage(s) within Oracle then they will automatically receive an invitation to participate in the interview.
Once they have responded to the interview, Willo will send their response back to Oracle and you will be able to access it as a note on the application.
