# Wayfaster Ships AI Scorecards to Any ATS in Minutes with Knit’s No-Code Custom-Field Mapper

## **The Integration Hurdle**

Wayfaster promises recruiters “zero-touch” hiring, but that experience breaks down if data never lands back in the customer’s **ATS**. Two hard problems stood in the way:

1.  **No native “candidate score” field** – Most ATSs (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, etc.) have nowhere to store Wayfaster’s AI grade. Implementers must create a _custom_ field inside every tenant.
2.  **Mapping hell at go-live** – Each customer names that custom field differently (“AI\_score”, “Phone-Grade”, “WF-Score”…). Engineering spent **2–4 hours** per implementation writing bespoke mappings and retry logic.

With 40+ new customers in the pipeline, the manual approach would have swallowed an estimated **320+ engineering hours** this quarter alone.

## **Knit’s Unified API Fix**

| Knit Capability | What It Delivered for Wayfaster |
| --- | --- |
| **Unified /ats model** | One endpoint covers 14 ATS platforms—**Wayfaster** writes integration logic **once**. |
| **DIY Custom-Field Mapper** | Product managers now point-and-click inside Knit’s console to bind “WF Score” & “Transcript URL” to _whatever_ custom field the customer created—no code, no deploys. |
| **Delta + Webhook Sync** | Candidate data is ingested < 30 sec after an application via native webhooks and **Wayfaster** pushes scores back in real time, preserving ATS audit trails. |

## **60-Day Results**

| Metric | Pre-Knit | With Knit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Engineer setup time per customer | ~4 hrs | **15 min self-serve** |
| Average time to first ATS write-back | 10 days | **< 24 hrs** |
| Candidate screens/day processed via API | 3 k | **18 k (6×)** |
| Quarterly eng hours saved | —   | **≈250 hrs** |
| Implementation CSAT (5-pt) | 3.2 | **4.8** |

 **“Custom-field chaos was our bottleneck. Knit turned it into a dropdown menu—letting our tiny team onboard six customers a week without touching code.”  
**— _Varun Khurana_, Founder & CEO, Wayfaster

## **Why Wayfaster Picked Knit**

1.  **Custom-field abstraction** beats writing per-tenant glue code.
2.  **Unified API future-proofs** every new ATS request without bloat.
3.  **Rapid API tweaks & sandbox access** keep enterprise deals on schedule.
