Is it possible to exclude offices, departments, jobs, or candidates from HRIS Link for hired candidates?

No. Once enabled, each candidate who is marked as hired in Greenhouse Recruiting will be exported using HRIS Link, even if the candidate was previously marked as hired. It isn't possible to exclude certain offices, departments, jobs, or candidates from the export.

How do I import a hired candidate payload to my preferred HRIS?

You'll need to work with your internal development team or a third-party integration developer to construct the middleware required to import the data into your HRIS.
