How Lemonade works with your ATS

Lemonade covers hiring up to your first interviews. Lem hunts day and night for the best candidates, from three sources: Lemonade's own talent pool, people Lem sources directly, and applicants to the role's job posts. Lem screens every applicant to those posts against your brief, including applicants to adverts you run yourself on Indeed or LinkedIn, as well as the people it sources, and scores each one with the reasoning shown (How Lem stays fair). Its matching is built on more than a million job matches and user feedback, and gets sharper as feedback comes in.

Nobody Lem finds is turned down by software. Applicants turned down automatically are told which check said no and can ask a person at Lemonade to look again. Lem never approaches anyone about a role at a company they have worked for. People Lem finds are approached by email and LinkedIn, and only people who have confirmed their interest reach your shortlist.

1. Request an intro and we can connect you in minutes. Lemonade introduces you both on one email thread, or asks the candidate to book a call through your own scheduling link.
2. Interview the candidate. Record your decision and how the interview went in Lemonade.
3. Move them into your ATS for in-person interviews and the offer. Offers, right-to-work checks and employment terms stay with you: Lemonade does not handle them.

Lem hunts. You interview. When the offer goes out from your ATS, there is no hire fee and no introduction window to worry about (Employer Terms, clause 4.4). Nothing about this is exclusive (clause 6.1): agencies, job boards and referrals can still be used for the same role.

Send to your ATS

On any candidate, choose Send to your ATS and Lemonade emails their pack to the address you give it. The pack includes their original CV and Lem's screening report on that candidate. Colleagues you add to the role are copied in.

Packs work with ATS job inboxes: Greenhouse (Maildrop) and Workable (a job mailbox), for example, give each job its own email address (Greenhouse help, Workable help, both checked 21 October 2026). Send the pack to your ATS's job inbox for that role.

Download the shortlist

The role page has a Download shortlist button with three formats: Excel (.xlsx), CSV (.csv), and an ATS import file (.csv).

The Excel and CSV files list every candidate shared with you for the role, sorted by score, with these columns: name, role fit score, verdict, headline, strengths, gaps, location, can start, looking for, LinkedIn, stage, your decision, your note, tags, notes, interview booked, meeting link, date added and a link to the role in Lemonade. The ATS import file is a generic CSV with first name, last name, email, phone, LinkedIn URL, source and notes.

Import tools differ. Workable, for example, asks you to use its own template without changing the column headings, and its team runs the import, free once on Premier and Enterprise plans (Workable help, checked 21 October 2026). Check your ATS's import instructions first. The export is a copy: nothing comes back from your ATS.

Once you request an intro, Lemonade can put you on one email thread with the candidate to agree a time, or candidates can pick a time through the Calendly, Cal.com or similar link you add to the role. Interviews can also be booked inside Lemonade: offer some slots, the candidate books one, and the booking email carries an add-to-calendar link. Interviews run on your own Teams, Zoom or Meet room link, saved once in Settings. These are links, not a calendar connection.

Need a specific integration? Tell us what you use (book 30 minutes with Ali Grant).

• Nothing to set up or maintain. There is no connector to install. Packs go to whichever inbox you choose, so a change of ATS means a new address, not a new integration.
• No ATS needed. Keep the .xlsx shortlist and your interview notes in Excel or Google Sheets. Conversations with candidates already sit in your own inbox.
• Only screened, interested people go in. The ATS receives only candidates who have confirmed their interest, each with Lem's screening report, rather than every applicant.

If candidates must appear in your ATS automatically, Lemonade will not do that today. Some tools connect to ATSs directly: Jack & Jill's documentation, for example, lists integrations for Ashby, Workable, BambooHR, Pinpoint and Personio, with Greenhouse "Not live, pending partner review" (https://www.jackandjill.ai/docs, checked 21 October 2026). See Lemonade vs Jack & Jill. Lem works best for hires with more than five years' experience; for junior, hourly or high-volume roles, a job board is usually the better choice.
