Use the Sense integration with Greenhouse Recruiting

Sense will use the same user ID for all actions. Sense initiates a full sync that gives them a copy of your Greenhouse data so they can craft audiences and triggers to send communication. After the full sync, updates will be made to applicable entities.

Below is an outline of the data used for each Sense product:

  • Messaging(SMS + Whatsapp):Your recruiters can access your ATS candidates within Sense messaging to easily send a text message. Conversations can then be posted back to the Activity Feed to reference.
  • Scheduler: Recruiters can create meetings templates to allow candidates to seamlessly find a time, book a meeting and meet with the recruiter. Meeting details can be posted back to the Activity feed to reference.
  • Engage: The Greenhouse<>Sense integration allows you to create automation targeting specific audiences within your ATS, for example, candidates in specific application stages. Each touchpoint built within a journey can be customized with variables like candidate name, job name, recruiter name, etc. Each of these touchpoints will be triggered based on an ATS action (ex: status change), a static time and date or a recurring schedule.
  • Chatbot: Chatbots can be attached to a journey so you can target specific audiences within your ATS. New applicants can receive a prescreening chatbot which would ask the candidate various qualifying questions specific to the job applied for. If the candidate passes the prescreen, we can then offer them your scheduler link to book an interview.
  • Discover: Sense uses information from the job order to provide job matching for candidates. Information like location, job type, skills etc can be used to pinpoint the job that best fits the candidate.
  • Referrals: Candidate info, job order and employee data are used within the product to streamline the entire referral process. Sourcing, keeping track of referrals, and managing payouts.
