BI Connector data model

all_tiers.png

There are three main data tables/objects in the BI Connector data set:

  1. Candidates
  2. Applications
  3. Jobs

The relationship between the data tables/objects can be defined in the following ways:

  • A candidate (person) can submit any number of applications onto any number of jobs (i.e. can apply to any number of jobs, or apply many times to the same job)
  • There is a one-to-one relationship between an application and a job (summarized in the 'application_jobs' data table)
  • Candidates can also have prospect applications, which can be associated with 0 or more jobs, departments, and offices. There is a boolean dimension named 'prospect' on the 'applications' table which indicates whether an application is an actual application on a job, or is a prospect application

 

Candidate-level data

The candidates in the 'candidates' data table can be associated with the following candidate-level data tables using the Candidate ID.

  • One-to-many relationships
    • candidate_custom_fields
    • candidate_email_addresses
    • candidate_mailing_addresses
    • candidate_phone_numbers
    • candidate_tags
    • educations
    • employments
    • referral_question_custom_fields

 

Application-level data

The applications in the 'applications' data table can be associated with the following application-level data tables using the Application ID.

  • One-to-one relationships
    • eeoc_responses
  • One-to-many relationships
    • application_custom_fields
    • application_question_answers
    • rejection_question_custom_fields

 

Job-level data

The jobs in the 'jobs' data table can be associated with the following job-level data tables using the Job ID.

  • One-to-many relationships
    • hiring_team
    • job_custom_fields
    • job_posts
    • job_snapshots
    • jobs_attributes
    • jobs_departments
    • jobs_interviews
    • jobs_offices
    • jobs_stages
    • openings
    • stage_snapshots

 

Process and Applicant Tracking Data

As applications progress through the recruiting process, the following process and applicant tracking data is generated for each Application ID.

Process Data table
Moving through stages The 'application_stages' data table represents each stage of the job that the application can be in, and the enter and exit times for each stage; null data exists for stages that applications have not entered yet.
Interviewing
  • The 'scheduled_interviews' data table represents each interview that is scheduled in Greenhouse
  • The 'interviewers' and 'interviewer_tags' data tables represent the Greenhouse user(s) assigned to the interview
  • The 'scorecards', 'scorecard_question_answers', and 'scorecards_attributes' data tables represent each scorecard that each interviewer submits

Note: Though it is best practice, it is not required to schedule an interview in order to submit a scorecard (thus you can have more scorecards than scheduled interviews).
Offers The 'offers' and 'offer_custom_fields' data tables represent the details of any offer that is generated for an application

 

Other Tables

There are a few stand-alone tables not associated with candidates, applications, or jobs:

  • User-level data tables
    • users
    • user_actions
    • greenhouse_usages
  • Stand-alone tables
    • Organizations
    • Candidate_surveys (these are anonymous)

Every other data table is a simple mapping table that maps an ID number to the name of the item represented (e.g., the 'attributes' data table maps an Attribute ID to the name of the attribute)
