About Spotted Zebra

Founded in the UK in 2020, Spotted Zebra provides a unified Interview Intelligence and Assessment platform that helps global enterprises make more objective, data-informed hiring decisions at scale. The platform combines industry-leading skills science with AI-powered intake, interview, and evaluation capabilities, helping the likes of Merlin Entertainment, Lidl, Virgin Media O2 and AWE spot the right hire with confidence every time.

The Integration Opportunity

As Spotted Zebra scaled their enterprise customer base, they identified an opportunity to optimize their ATS integration approach. While their engineering team had successfully built custom connectors, rapid deployment capabilities became increasingly important - particularly for Workday and SAP SuccessFactors platforms.

The strategic opportunity was clear:

1. Accelerate time-to-market for enterprise ATS connectivity
2. Optimise engineering resources for continued innovation across the core Interview Intelligence and Assessment product 
3. Scale integration architecture to support rapid enterprise expansion and deployment
4. Enhance marketplace presence across integration partner ecosystems

Talent leaders need technology that enhances their existing investments, not complicates them. When evaluating integration partners, we prioritised real-time data flow, enterprise-grade security, and a privacy-first approach to customer data. StackOne aligns perfectly with what our enterprise clients demand - seamless connectivity that just works.
