How UKG QR Code Integration Works (Step-by-Step)
Implementing QR code recruiting with UKG is simpler than you thinkโespecially with CloudApper AI Recruiter. Hereโs how it works:
โ Step 1: Pull Job Listings from UKG
Your open positions (job title, location, description) are automatically retrieved from UKG Pro or UKG Ready using APIโno manual data entry required.
โ 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.
โ 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.
โ Step 4: Instant Applications Begin
Candidates scan the code, answer a few quick questions through AI Chatbot and submitโapplying becomes as easy as ordering food online.
โ 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).
Bonus: CloudApperโs platform also includes resume parsing, automated reminders, AI chatbot support, and interview schedulingโfully integrated with UKG
