ATS backup and reliability
Your branches keep working, whatever happens to your systems
A staffing platform has two jobs it cannot fail at: telling workers where to be tomorrow, and paying them on Friday. Ours is built and run around both. And if you are on another ATS, Standby means its bad day doesn’t have to be yours.

How we run it
Uptime is an operating discipline
The schedule and the pay run come first
Monitoring and alerting treat clock-in, the pay run and the client portal as the services that cannot be down.
Reviewed by the largest
The platform passed the security review of one of the world’s largest staffing groups, and our SOC 2 program is underway.
Your data, readable by you
Read access for your own analysts and a full export whenever you want it. You are never locked in by your data.
Standby
A live backup of your ATS, ready the moment you need it
Standby keeps a live, read-only copy of your ATS data in ActivateStaff: workers, contacts, placements and open orders. If your ATS goes down, your branches open ActivateStaff and keep working from current data. No migration and no change to how recruiters work day to day.
Outage mode
- An apply link so new applicants keep coming in
- Job offers and messages to workers from the live copy
- A controlled catch-up of applications and job interest into your ATS when it returns
The playbook and the drills
We write your outage playbook with you: who decides to switch, what each branch does in the first two hours, how payroll still runs. Then we drill it twice a year.
Already running
We keep a live copy of a large healthcare agency’s ATS today, synced continuously.
Separate infrastructure
ActivateStaff runs apart from your ATS vendor, so one incident doesn’t take down both.
Workers already on the platform
1.9 million worker profiles on the platform. In an outage, your workers can still get the message.
What is Standby?
Standby keeps a live, read-only copy of your ATS data in ActivateStaff: workers, contacts, placements and open orders. If your ATS goes down, branches open ActivateStaff and keep working from current data.
Which ATS does Standby work with?
Any ATS that gives API access. We run a live copy of a large healthcare agency's ATS today, synced continuously.
How long does Standby take to set up?
About 30 days from the day you issue API credentials.
What keeps working during an ATS outage?
Branches search and contact workers from current data, an apply link keeps taking applicants, and job offers and messages go out from the live copy. When your ATS returns, applications and job interest catch up in a controlled way.
Does Standby change how recruiters work day to day?
No. Recruiters keep working in their current ATS. Standby runs in the background until you need it.
