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.

Why Wayfaster Picked Knit

1. Custom-field abstraction beats writing per-tenant glue code.
