Cruit integration

Cruit is the job referral platform that turns employees and communities into the number one source of applicants. With the Cruit app, people can share jobs, track their referrals, and earn amazing rewards.

Cruit's integration with Greenhouse Recruiting allows many actions in Cruit to be automated without changing your existing workflows:

  • Sync data from Greenhouse Recruiting: The integration enables you to load job data directly from Greenhouse Recruiting to Cruit. You can easily manage your referable jobs in the Cruit dashboard, control which jobs should be referable, and edit other info such as rewards per interview stage, public referral rewards, and more.
  • Referral status: The integration allows your employees or public Cruiters to see the latest status of their referred candidates if those candidates have opted into showing this data, and allows you to create referrals based on past applications in Greenhouse Recruiting.

Create a custom source

Finally, to optimize the quality of your experience with Cruit, create two custom sources in Greenhouse Recruiting. Follow the instructions in this article to create the custom sources, using the details below:

Custom source 1
Name Cruit In-House
Sourcing strategy Prospecting
Custom source 2
Name Cruit Public
Sourcing strategy Prospecting

These custom sources enable Greenhouse Recruiting to properly source candidates that come from different Cruit platforms. When candidates are assigned a source, you can easily filter and report on those candidates in Greenhouse Recruiting.

Note: If you only use one of Cruit's platforms, create a custom source for that platform.

Use the integration

After enabling the integration, you can see your current open jobs in Cruit by navigating to Jobs.

A list of example open jobs are shown in Cruit, imported from Greenhouse Recruiting

You can manage whether your jobs are referable, and set rewards for each job individually, per hire, or per interview stage for maximum employee engagement.

When you receive candidates via referrals through Cruit, they sync to Greenhouse Recruiting and enter any regular workflows for candidates that you have already set up.
