How UKG QR Code Integration Works (Step-by-Step)
Implementing QR code recruiting with UKG is simpler than you think—especially with CloudApper AI Recruiter. Here’s how it works:
✅ Step 1: Pull Job Listings from UKG
Your open positions (job title, location, description) are automatically retrieved from UKG Pro or UKG Ready using API—no manual data entry required.
✅ Step 2: Auto-Generate QR Codes
Each job gets a unique, trackable QR code that links directly to a mobile-friendly application form or SMS apply path.
✅ Step 3: Display QR Codes Anywhere
Print signage, posters, or stickers with your branded QR code and display them at entrances, break rooms, storefronts, vehicles, or recruitment events.
✅ Step 4: Instant Applications Begin
Candidates scan the code, answer a few quick questions through AI Chatbot and submit—applying becomes as easy as ordering food online.
✅ Step 5: Candidate Data Syncs to UKG
Everything is pushed into your UKG ATS: resumes, job preferences, contact info, and source tracking (so you know which signage works).
