Talent Llama integration

In today’s job market, traditional screening methods have become impractical. Applicant volume has skyrocketed and conventional screening leads to bias and inconsistency, causing hiring teams to miss out on top talent. At Talent Llama, we’ve built a simple, integrated AI Talent Screening experience that reduces time-to-hire while giving every candidate a fair chance.

Talent Llama’s integration with Greenhouse Recruiting allows hiring teams to automatically import and invite candidates to interview from any stage in the Greenhouse candidate pipeline. As interviews are completed, recruiters can move top candidates to the next stage or reject them directly from the Talent Llama evaluation screen.
