Greenhouse/ATS Sync by CareerBuilder Overview
Reduce the amount of time it takes to find the right candidate by using powerful semantic search technology to search your private data and CareerBuilder data, including public CareerBuilder and Open-web resumes, in the same interface.
CareerBuilder’s ATS Sync Standard accesses the data within Greenhouse Recruiting, cleans and normalizes it, and makes it searchable from within the Talent Discovery Platform. This allows you to start your search process by unlocking the candidates who have already expressed interest in your organization resulting in faster hires. The ATS Sync also allows you to export any candidate data from the Talent Discovery Platform into Greenhouse Recruiting to take future action on viable candidates.
The integration enables you to:
- Pull: Import candidate profile and status data from Greenhouse into the Talent Discovery Platform
- Push: Export individual candidates and assign them to requisition IDs from the TDP to Greenhouse via the Export to ATS widget found when you select a candidate’s profile
