For hiring teams

Reach Black talent. From the tools you already use.

Post roles to the BTI Career Hub directly, or connect your applicant tracking system so jobs publish to BTI and applications come back into your own pipeline.

How it connects

Organizations we've worked with

Works with your ATS

If your system can talk to the web, it can talk to BTI.

Most modern applicant tracking systems, including Workday, Bullhorn, Greenhouse and Lever, can send and receive data over the web. BTI gives them one standard way in. Your IT team or integration partner does a one-time setup, and we help.

01 · JOBS GO OUT

Post once in your ATS

When a recruiter publishes a role in your system, it appears on the BTI Career Hub. Nobody re-types anything.

02 · CANDIDATES COME BACK

Applicants land in your pipeline

When a BTI member applies, their application is sent straight into your system, next to applicants from everywhere else.

03 · CANDIDATES STAY INFORMED

Updates flow back

When your recruiter moves someone to interview, the candidate sees it in their BTI job tracker. No more applying into silence.

How access works: a keycard, not a master key

Your team creates a BTI access key in the employer portal, like a building keycard. It only opens the doors you choose, such as “post jobs” or “read applications”, and you can cancel it at any time.

Why this works with any system

Some integrations need a separate app approved by each software vendor before they can connect. A scoped key doesn't, so we don't have to wait on a vendor before you can connect.

Ways to post

Pick the route that fits how your team hires.

Most recruiters post a role once and expect it to reach every board on their list. BTI is built to be one of those places.

Available now

Post in the BTI employer portal

Create and publish roles from your BTI employer dashboard. Review applicants and update their status in one place.

Available now

Connect your ATS

Jobs publish from your system, applications arrive in your pipeline, and status changes flow back to candidates. Your ATS stays the system of record.

Best for teams hiring steadily who don’t want another login.

In development

Choose BTI in your multi-posting tool

We’re working to make BTI a destination you can select in the job distribution tools enterprise and agency recruiters already use. Tell us which one you use so we know where to start.

Best for high-volume and agency recruiting.

Example campaign

Hiring six analysts. Six weeks with BTI.

A job post is the start, not the whole plan. Here's how a regional bank could use everything BTI runs to fill a cohort of early-career roles, and leave with a bench for the next round.

Week 1
Find the right people
We build an audience of members in your city with 0 to 5 years of experience and an interest in finance, using career stage, job titles, program history and which events they came to.
Week 1
Put the roles in front of them
The roles go live on the Career Hub from your ATS. Members with matching job alerts are notified, and the audience gets a targeted email written for them.
Week 2 to 3
Meet them in person
Your hiring manager and recruiters meet candidates face to face at BTI’s signature events, like IGNITE, NAVIGATE, UNBOUNDED and Juneteenth. Conversations happen before applications do.
Week 2 to 5
Applications flow in
Candidates apply on BTI and land straight in your ATS. Every time you move someone forward, they see it in their BTI job tracker.
Week 6
See what worked
We report back who opened, clicked, came to the event and applied. Champion members also get a yearly impact summary for ESG and DEI reporting.
After
Keep the bench warm
Strong candidates you couldn’t hire this time stay reachable through BTI’s talent network, so the next cohort starts with people who already know you.

Inside the portal

What the BTI employer portal does

Post a role in minutes

Write the role once in the employer portal, or let your ATS send it. It goes live on the Career Hub with your logo, salary range if you choose to share it, and an application deadline.

Draft, publish and close roles yourself
Show or hide salary for each role
Closed roles come off the board straight away

Every applicant, one pipeline

See each applicant’s profile, cover letter and resume, then move them from reviewed to shortlisted, interviewing, offer and hired.

Statuses update in one click
Resumes open through a private link
Applications, interviews and hires for each role

Candidates never apply into silence

When your recruiter moves someone forward, the candidate sees it in their BTI job tracker, along with any note you add. It’s a better experience for them, and a better reputation for you.

Live status on every application
Optional personal note from your team
Saved jobs and job alerts for members

Connect your ATS, and stay in control

Create an access key with only the permissions you need, tell BTI where to send new applications, and watch every delivery as it happens.

Pick permissions key by key
Set keys to expire, or cancel them any time
A delivery log for every notification

Connecting your ATS

Four steps to connect

We set up your profile
BTI creates your organization’s employer profile on the Career Hub and links your team’s logins.
Create a scoped key
In the BTI employer portal, create an access key with only the permissions you need. Set it to expire after 90 days or a year if you like.
Connect your system
Your ATS publishes jobs to BTI. BTI sends signed notifications to your system when someone applies.
Candidates flow
Applications land in your pipeline. When your recruiter updates a status, the candidate sees it on BTI.

Protecting our community

What data moves, and how it's protected

Our members trust us with their careers. Every design choice below exists so their information goes only where they sent it, and only for as long as it's needed.

Your ATSStays the system of record

BTI Career HubShows the role, protects the member

The candidateAlways knows where they stand

Direction	What’s shared	Why
Your system → BTI	Job title, description, location, work arrangement, skills, salary range (only if you choose to show it), application deadline	Show the role on the Career Hub
BTI → your system	Applicant name, contact details, current role, availability, expected salary, cover letter, resume	Add the candidate to your pipeline
Your system → BTI	Application status and an optional note to the candidate	Keep the candidate informed

No access to your network

BTI only sends to the one secure address you choose.

Why it mattersYour systems stay closed. BTI never gets a way in.

Scoped, revocable keys

Each key only does what you allow. We store a scrambled fingerprint, never the key.

Why it mattersA stolen key list is useless, and you can cancel access yourself.

Signed notifications

Every message carries a tamper-proof signature and a timestamp.

Why it mattersNo one can slip fake applications into your pipeline.

Private resumes

Never public files. You get a private link that expires in 15 minutes.

Why it mattersA forwarded or leaked link stops working within minutes.

Encrypted

Protected while it travels and while it’s stored, on Google Cloud.

Why it mattersIntercepted data is scrambled text, not a member’s details.

Reliable delivery

Retries automatically, with every attempt visible in the portal.

Why it mattersNo candidate waits on an application that never arrived.

What we never collect: SIN, salary history, health information or background checks. If we don't hold it, it can't leak.
