SeekOut is a passive candidate sourcing tool that allows you to easily move candidate records from SeekOut into Greenhouse Recruiting.
SeekOut’s integration with Greenhouse Recruiting allows you to export candidate data from SeekOut and turn it into Greenhouse Recruiting candidate profiles, complete with contact information and work/education history.

Send candidate records from SeekOut to Greenhouse Recruiting
Once the integration is configured, it's simple to move candidates from SeekOut into Greenhouse Recruiting.
From a SeekOut project, select the candidates you want to add to Greenhouse Recruiting by checking the box next to each candidate. Then click Export… and choose
Select the job and click Export.
By default, SeekOut will not export a candidate if they have already been exported from SeekOut. If you want the same candidate sent again you can check Include previously exported candidate(s).
Within a few seconds, the candidates you have sourced in SeekOut will be visible in Greenhouse Recruiting.
