ZipRecruiter (legacy)

Note: An updated version of the Greenhouse Recruiting / ZipRecruiter integration that requires less manual configuration is now available. For the most current version of the ZipRecruiter integration, please click here.

If your organization is enabling the ZipRecruiter integration for the first time, we recommend enabling the updated integration rather than the version outlined in this article.

ZipRecruiter is a  web-based platform that streamlines the hiring process by enabling companies to post a job to 100+ job boards with a single click. By providing a central location for finding and screening, ZipRecruiter helps employers make the best hiring decisions quickly and at a fraction of the cost of traditional job boards. 

Greenhouse Recruiting's integration with ZipRecruiter allows your organization to push jobs on your job board(s) to the ZipRecruiter platform and track any inbound candidates as a result of the integration. In this article, we will cover:

• Configure User Setup Permissions in Greenhouse Recruiting
• Create Job Board API Key for Greenhouse/ZipRecruiter Integration
• Create Job Board Tracking Link for Greenhouse/ZipRecruiter Integration
• Unsupported Application Questions
• Support Questions

Note: The Greenhouse/ZipRecruiter integration is free to use and accessible to any ZipRecruiter account level.
