Configure user setup permissions in Greenhouse Recruiting
In order to enable the Greenhouse Recruiting / Employee Cycle integration, you will need the developer permission Can manage ALL organization’s API Credentials.
Contact a Greenhouse Recruiting user in your organization with Site Admin level permissions with the additional user-specific permission Can edit another user's advanced permissions to apply the API credential management permission to your account. Have the user with Site Admin level permissions edit your user account's permissions by navigating to the Configure icon

Select Can manage ALL organization’s API Credentials so a check is in the checkbox. When finished, click Save.
Repeat as necessary for any other user that should have access to set up the integration.
Create Harvest API key for the Greenhouse Recruiting / Employee Cycle integration
To create a Harvest API key for the integration, click the Configure icon in the upper right-hand corner. Navigate to Dev Center on the left-hand panel. From the Dev Center page, click API Credential Management.
From the API Credential Management page, click Create New API Key to generate the API key for Employee Cycle.
In the Create New Credential dialog box, make the following selections:
- API Type: Harvest
- Partner: Employee Cycle
- Description: Employee Cycle Harvest API Key
When finished, click Manage Permissions to generate the Harvest API key and automatically assign it the appropriate permissions required by Employee Cycle.

Note: You cannot access the full API key again after clicking I have stored the API Key. If you lose your API key and need to access it later, you must create a new API key, provide it to the integration partner, and then revoke access to the original key.
On the subsequent page, confirm the following permissions are assigned to your new API key:

Okay...here are some questions we love to answer:

Employee Cycle provides pre-built dashboards for your Greenhouse data, but your account rep can work with you to add any additional metrics or visuals that were not originally included.
How often is my Greenhouse data updated in Employee Cycle?

How do customers get value from Employee Cycle?
