Custom automation hub
Get more out of CATS without the busywork
A custom automation hub that enriches your CATS candidate records daily from Bright Data and Apollo — current roles, verified contacts, and job-change alerts — so a lean team gets agency-grade data without an agency-grade budget.
Implementation from €2,500 · Runs on your own keys · Your data stays in CATS
The stack
Three systems, one daily loop
Your ATS stays the source of truth. Bright Data and Apollo keep it honest.
CATS
Your flexible system of record
The hub reads and writes back to CATS through its API. The affordable ATS you chose stays the single source of truth — enrichment slots in around how you already work, no extra tool to pay for.
Bright Data
Web-scale data enrichment
Bright Data refreshes current title, employer, tenure, and company size from the open web, so your records show where candidates actually are without an expensive data subscription.
Apollo
Verified contact data
Apollo finds and verifies emails and direct dials, so outreach connects on the first try instead of bouncing on a contact who moved on long ago.
Capabilities
What the integration can do
Everything below runs on a schedule and writes straight back into CATS.
- Enrich CATS candidate records daily from Bright Data and Apollo — no manual research eating into a small team’s day.
- Flag job changes so you can re-engage candidates the moment they become reachable for a new role.
- Verify and refresh emails and phone numbers, dropping bounced contacts before they hurt your sender reputation.
- Backfill missing fields — title, employer, location, LinkedIn, company size — across your existing pipeline.
- Add company firmographics so you can prioritise candidates and clients by headcount and industry.
- Write everything back into CATS with a source and timestamp on each enriched field.
- Run on your own Bright Data and Apollo keys, so the data and the spend stay entirely yours and stay predictable.
The payoff
How much time it saves
Conservative estimates. The exact numbers depend on your database size and how stale it has become.
Manual record enrichment
A recruiter spends 5–8 minutes per candidate checking LinkedIn, finding a contact, and updating CATS by hand.
~6 min saved per record — 35 records a day is around 3.5 hours back for a lean team.
Spotting job changes
Without a dedicated researcher, movers slip past unnoticed until long after the moment to call has passed.
A daily ranked list of movers instead of relying on luck.
List cleanup before outreach
Verifying a few hundred contacts before a campaign is most of an afternoon a small team can ill afford.
A pre-verified list ready on day one rather than a half-day of cleanup.
How it works
A hub your team actually uses
Automated where it should be, conversational where you need control.
Daily automation
Every morning the hub pulls a batch of CATS candidate and contact records, enriches them through Bright Data and Apollo, and writes the results back — before your team logs in.
Automation hub overview
A single dashboard shows what ran, what changed, which records were enriched, and what needs a human eye — full provenance on every update, no black box.
A Claude project to engage
A dedicated Claude project sits on top of the enriched data so your team can ask questions, draft outreach to candidates, and trigger enrichment on demand in plain language.
