Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to set up both webhooks to use the Greenhouse/Remote integration?
No. If your company uses the “Create Offer” button in Greenhouse to finalize your new hires, then you will set up the Offer Created webhook. If your company uses the “Mark Candidate as Hired” button in Greenhouse to finalize your new hires, then you will select the Candidate Hired webhook.
I’ve completed the set up and followed the instructions to send my candidate information to Remote, but I don’t see the candidate’s profile in my Remote Onboarding area yet.
When the webhook is triggered in Greenhouse, the integration can sometimes take a few minutes to sync with Remote. Please try again in 5 minutes and if you still don’t see the candidate in your Remote Onboarding area, reach out to help@remote.com.
I’m trying to update an existing candidate in Remote but it’s not working.
Remote does not support duplicate candidate profiles. You aren't able to add candidates to Remote with the same email address via the Add as a new candidate button or the Merge with existing candidate button in Greenhouse Recruiting.
You can update the candidate’s profile in Greenhouse with a different email address and try sending the information to Remote again. Or you can manually update the candidate’s information in the Remote platform directly (recommended).
How do I send a candidate to Remote after changing their email address?
To send a candidate to Remote after changing their email address, you can re-trigger the webhook by clicking the Unhire button on the candidate’s profile in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Then navigate back to the Offer Details section and select the Mark Candidate as Hired button again.
Do I need to pay to use the Greenhouse/Remote integration?
No. The integration is free to Remote customers who use Greenhouse Recruiting.
Can I send additional information about a candidate over to Remote via the integration?
Not at this time. However, please reach out to Remote at help@remote.com with a list of your requests and we’ll discuss them with you so that we can properly prioritize them in the next version of the integration.
