MyGreenhouse features
Some features, like recently viewed jobs, quick apply and application tracking, are automatically available to all logged-in candidates without any configuration required. However, features that involve employer-controlled data (such as tasks and application status) need to be manually toggled on in Greenhouse Recruiting. Additionally, any features that impact your job board, like job alerts and quick apply buttons, must be turned on for each job board in Greenhouse Recruiting.
| Feature | Description |
| Job alerts | Job alerts keep job seekers engaged and aware of new opportunities, ensuring you reach interested applicants without extra outreach. |
| Quick apply | Quick apply lets job seekers autofill their applications, saving them time and helping your hiring team focus on evaluating top talent, rather than following up on incomplete applications. |
| Application tracking | Application tracking helps candidates stay organized by storing Greenhouse-hosted job applications in one central location. Orgs that turn on application tracking can update candidates on tasks and whether jobs are active or inactive without any manual effort from your hiring team. |
| Dream Job | Candidates can highlight one application each month as their Dream Job. Then you can quickly surface these engaged and enthusiastic candidates during app review. |
| Work preferences | Candidates can share supplemental information about what type of role they're looking for. |
