🤝 Greenhouse | Rediscovery

This article is for setting up a two-way integration between SeekOut and Greenhouse. To learn about the one-way export feature, see our article here.

Sort through candidate data from your ATS using SeekOut's powerful search engine and filters. Your Greenhouse data is mirrored within SeekOut every day, and SeekOut enriches your data with social links, work history, and education. Greenhouse Stage and Status filters are available in a collapsible search menu.

Before You Begin

Note: Please contact your Customer Success Manager or our support team so we can coordinate your integration setup.

• Your Greenhouse login and your SeekOut login must both use the same email address when setting up the integration.

• Your Greenhouse account must have the developer permission "Manage ALL organization’s API Credentials" enabled. See the section in this Greenhouse article Configure User Setup Permissions in Greenhouse Recruiting for steps on how to set this up.

Connection Stages 

Indexing... 

The ATS is connected and SeekOut is indexing candidates from GreenHouse into SeekOut. This process takes up to four hours. Not all candidates will be visible in the Your ATS tab during the Indexing phase. 

Connected / Start ATS Search 

Candidates have been indexed from GreenHouse into SeekOut. Candidates can be viewed in the Your ATS tab. The index of GreenHouse candidates is updated every four hours. 

Click Start ATS Search to go to the Your ATS tab. 

How to use Rediscovery

Click Your ATS on the Search page to view candidates from Greenhouse.    

Your ATS has the same search functions that are available in the Public Profiles tab. Use keywords, Boolean, power filters, and diversity filters to refine your search. 

Unique features in Your ATS 

The Your ATS tab has two additional features:  

• a set of filters specific to your ATS (highlighted in purple below) 

• The candidate's status, recruiter, job application, and contact information from GreenHouse (highlighted in orange below)

ATS Filters (purple) 

The following filter categories are viewable on the Your ATS tab: 

• Stage 

• Status 

• Job 

• Rejection Reason 

• Source 

• Recruiter 

  • Name of the recruiter assigned to the candidate in the ATS 

• Last Updated 

The exact filters available will depend on the data in the org's GreenHouse instance. For example, if the org does not have any candidates in GH assigned to the Technical Phone Screen stage, then that filter will not be shown in SeekOut. 

Candidate ATS Status (orange) 

An overview of the candidate's status in GreenHouse. 

• Date updated 

• Recruiter 

• Job 

• Stage 

• Status 

• Email 

  • All of the candidate's email addresses from the ATS are listed 

• Phone 

  • All of the candidate's phone numbers from the ATS are listed 

• Attachments 

Note: if Disable Attachments is toggled in the GreenHouse Rediscovery connection on the Integrations page, then attachments will not appear in this box. 

Matching 

SeekOut uses the candidate's LinkedIn URL as the main identifier for matching their ATS profile to their SeekOut profile. If there is no LinkedIn URL found in the candidate's resume, other pieces of information will be used to try to match the candidate including github urls, job history, education history, etc. 

When a profile isn't matched, SeekOut will not enrich it with additional info. The profile will appear without a LinkedIn URL in the Your ATS tab. Only info mirrored from the ATS (including the resume) will be shown in the profile. 

ATS Insights 

SeekOut aggregates candidate data from your ATS and displays interactive charts for diversity, location, current/previous company, job title, and much more. Hover your mouse over a row to see how many candidates share that data point, and click on a row or use filters to refine your results even further. 

Print & Export Insights 

Click Print to print the current page. Use your browser's printer settings to select how many pages of data you wish to print. 

Click Export to export the data on the current page to a spreadsheet. You can download it as an XLSX file or view it in Excel Online. The spreadsheet has information and charts (when applicable) for the following candidate data: 

• Location
