Greenhouse Software regularly releases new product features, updates, and improvements. You can stay up to date by following our release notes or checking out the latest feature releases page.
Greenhouse Recruiting
Application limit rules
Expert-tier customers can build rules to help block duplicate applications and take more control over how often candidates are applying to roles at their organization. Read more here.
Private interviews
Interviews can now be marked as private, meaning that when they are added to a hiring team's calendar, the interview's details, including the event name, will be hidden. This new feature helps protect candidate confidentiality and reduces the steps it takes to ensure events show up as private on the candidate’s calendar. Read more here.
Attachments in self-schedule links
Documents can now be attached to self-schedule email templates so that candidates won't miss key information when scheduling interviews with Greenhouse, and helps hiring teams be more efficient when sending information to candidates in the interview process. Read more here.
Prevent user from editing scorecard after submission
Site Admins can now prevent interviewers from modifying a scorecard after their submission to ensure data integrity and ensure that all candidates are being evaluated fairly.
Automatic approval reminders
Site Admins can now configure reminder emails to be sent automatically if a pending approval is not answered in 24 hours. Read more here.
Candidate profile updates
As part of our continuing rollout of the new candidate profile, we've made the following updates and fixes in the new experience:
- Reduced font size and spacing to provide a better user experience when viewing the candidate profile.
- Updated candidate profile header so key candidate details can be referenced more easily, including contact information, time zones, tags, or referral or privacy status.
- Pulled specific buttons, like "go to the interview kit" and "schedule interview" out of the dropdown menu so they can be accessed more easily.
- Improved the spacing of the candidate profile on smaller screens.
- Updated the frequency at which users are automatically opted-in to the new experience to coincide with major improvements and releases, rather than a set schedule.
- Candidate availability can now be added manually.
- Updated the notes panel to display automatically when navigating to the candidate profile using a link in an @mention notification email.
- Added extra logic to hide the "Email the candidate" button in cases where the candidate can't be emailed, like not having an entered email address, being marked as "do not email," or if the user doesn't have permission to email candidates.
- Added an icon next to scorecards in the activity feed.
