Kula is a recruitment automation platform that lets you proactively reach out and engage with top talent everywhere. With Kula, you have complete control, visibility, and predictability over your entire talent pipeline.
Kula's integration with Greenhouse Recruiting enables your organization to associate each outreach with a job in Greenhouse Recruiting and automatically create applications when a candidate is added to an outreach.

Configure the integration in Kula
Once you've completed the above steps in Greenhouse Recruiting, complete the following steps in Kula.
Navigate to the Settings page by clicking your profile picture, then Settings.
Click Organization, then Integrations. Next to Greenhouse, click the Setup toggle.
In the Add Integration pop-up, paste the Harvest API key that you created in Greenhouse Recruiting and the Greenhouse Base URL.
Note: The Greenhouse Base URL should be copied from the address bar of the Greenhouse Recruiting page you used to create the Harvest API Key. In this example, the base URL would be app4.greenhouse.io.
Once the integration is added, it may take some time for Greenhouse Recruiting data such as candidates, jobs, departments, and other information to be imported into Kula.
Greenhouse Recruiting / Kula candidate stage mapping
For stage mapping, in Kula navigate to the Settings page, click Organization, then Integrations.
Under Greenhouse, click Configure.
In the Configure Integration pop-up that appears, you can view and edit how stages from Greenhouse Recruiting map to Candidate stages in Kula and vice versa.
Please verify that the mappings are correct for your organization and edit them as needed.
Note: If your Greenhouse Recruiting account doesn't use custom stages, the default mappings provided by Kula should work out-of-the-box in most cases.
Use the Kula integration with Greenhouse Recruiting
Associate an outreach with a job in Greenhouse Recruiting
Once you successfully connect your Greenhouse Recruiting account with your Kula account, you can now associate any outreach in Kula with a job in Greenhouse Recruiting. This will allow you to sync candidates and their stages bi-directionally. Select the job from the Applicant Tracking System dropdown to associate the outreach with a job in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Add candidates to a job in Greenhouse Recruiting
After you associate an outreach with a job in Greenhouse Recruiting, any candidate you add to your Kula outreach will be available as a candidate in the linked job in Greenhouse Recruiting. You can confirm this in two ways:
In Kula, a Greenhouse icon appears next to the candidate's name.
In Greenhouse Recruiting, the candidate appears in the Candidates list for the job.
Bi-directional sync of candidate stages
Candidates synced between Kula and Greenhouse Recruiting progress through the stages that were mapped when the integration was configured. For example, when you move a candidate to Offer stage in Kula, the candidate will also move to Offer stage in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Syncing intros and referrals from Kula to Greenhouse Recruiting
Intros and candidate referrals are synced between Kula and Greenhouse Recruiting. Similar to an outreach, when a candidate intro or referral is added to Kula, the candidate is also added to Greenhouse Recruiting. Greenhouse Recruiting will also reflect that the candidate has been referred by a specific user.
