Your job boards and posts can help your company connect with great candidates by making it easier for engaged talent to apply for your company’s open roles.
Overview
Candidate features help hiring teams connect with qualified candidates faster and with less effort. Job alerts keep candidates engaged and aware of new opportunities, ensuring you reach interested applicants without extra outreach. Quick Apply lets candidates autofill their applications saving them time and helping your hiring team focus on evaluating top talent, rather than following up on incomplete applications.
Together, these features streamline the hiring process, making it easier to attract and engage the right talent while providing candidates with a top-tier experience.
Turn on candidate features
Candidate features apply to individual job boards. To turn on candidate features, go to Configure, and select Job Boards and Posts.
Then, go to Edit board settings on the job board you’d like to enable the features for and select Candidate features.
Review the terms and conditions, select Enable candidate features, then Save changes.
Job alerts
Job alerts allow candidates to receive notifications when your company posts new jobs. When you enable candidate features, widgets inviting candidates to “Create a job alert” will be added to your selected job board and job posts. The widgets don’t use cookies and won’t impact the performance of your board.
Candidates can also create job alerts at the bottom of your job post.
When candidates select “Create a job alert,” they’ll be redirected to Greenhouse, then prompted to sign into or create a candidate account.
After candidates create a job alert for your company, they'll choose which types of roles they’re interested in and how often they’d like to receive notifications. Then, Greenhouse will email them when your company posts new jobs that meet their criteria.
API-powered job boards
If your company uses an API-powered job board, you can add a job alert sign-up widget to your job posts by following the instructions to enable candidate job alerts. After you've activated job alerts, add your job board link:

Note: Your Job Board token is found in the URL section of the job board configuration page. Read more here.
Quick Apply
Quick Apply allows candidates to fill application fields automatically to help them easily apply for roles. When enabled, a button inviting candidates to autofill applications will be added to your job post.
When candidates select Autofill with Greenhouse, they’ll be prompted to create or sign into their Greenhouse accounts where they can manage their Quick Apply settings. When candidates have completed their profile, they’ll be able to autofill any relevant application fields automatically.
