Quick Apply helps your organization connect with motivated candidates by reducing friction in the application process. Instead of starting from scratch each time, job seekers can use their MyGreenhouse profile to autofill key information. This streamlined experience encourages more completed applications, supports repeat engagement across your roles and helps ensure interested candidates don’t drop off due to lengthy forms.

Overview

Quick Apply allows candidates to autofill Greenhouse-hosted job applications using information saved in their MyGreenhouse profile, making it faster and easier to apply. 

When enabled, an Autofill my application button appears on your job posts. First-time users are prompted to create a free, password-free MyGreenhouse account where they can store their resume and basic details for future applications.

By reducing application friction, Quick Apply helps increase completed applications and supports repeat engagement across your roles.

How Quick Apply works

Quick Apply saves job seekers time by adding their information to their MyGreenhouse account so they can autofill future applications. Candidates can add as much, or as little, information to their profile as they'd like, including:

  • Resume
  • Contact info
  • Employment
  • Education
  • Online profiles
  • Voluntary self-identification
  • Work preferences

When your organization enables Quick Apply, candidates see an Autofill my application button when they view your job posts.

The first time a candidate selects this button, they create a free MyGreenhouse account. To keep applying for jobs easy and streamlined, MyGreenhouse is password-free. Candidates sign in with a code sent to their email.

Next, candidates upload their resume. MyGreenhouse uses it to autofill their application, including your application questions exactly as you wrote them. Candidates review and edit their answers before they submit.

Applications submitted with Quick Apply appear in Greenhouse Recruiting like any other application, with your job board as the source.

Candidates’ details are saved to their MyGreenhouse profile, so next time they can autofill Greenhouse-hosted applications with the click of a button, which increases the likelihood that they’ll apply for your roles.
