Create RolePoint User Account In Greenhouse Recruiting

For certain requests, such as creating a note on the candidate activity feed, RolePoint is required to provide a User ID on which the note should be posted on-behalf-of. This User ID is for auditing purposes; therefore, you will also need to create a user called RolePoint using the following email:

ats-credentials+[yourcompany]@rolepoint.com

When finished, provide the User ID to your RolePoint implementation manager. 

 

 

Create RolePoint Source in Greenhouse Recruiting 

As RolePoint imports candidates into Greenhouse Recruiting, RolePoint would like to ensure that your referred candidates are accurately tracked. To do this, you can create a custom source (ie. RolePoint, Talent Connect, etc) for your referred candidates. 

 

When finished, provide the name of the source to your RolePoint implementation manager.  

  

Jobs Feed

In order to display jobs in your referral portal for employees to refer candidates to, RolePoint syncs jobs information from Greenhouse twice a day. RolePoint typically pulls jobs that are open and posted on the company job board; however, RolePoint can utilize specific job attributes in Greenhouse to filter the jobs displayed in your referral portal. If you would like to add additional filters, please define them below:

• ie. Job Folder = Approved
• ie. Job Posting Status = Posted
• ie. Req Type = Full-Time
• ie. Job Board = Company Montreal, Company

RolePoint obtains the following information from Greenhouse Recruiting to display to your employees. If there are custom fields that we should use instead of the Greenhouse equivalent fields, please indicate them below in the right column:

 

Candidate/Referral Insert

With the Harvest API, RolePoint is able to import the referred candidate into either a specific job or as a prospect by submitting the following:

First Name Last Name Email Address Telephone Resume Social URLs (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc – optional) Endorsement Strength & Text (optional) Source (RolePoint & Referrer Info)

  

Candidate Status

RolePoint will pull the current status of the candidate on an application from Greenhouse Recruiting. This status will be emailed to employees to update them on how their candidate is progressing. The standard statuses that RolePoint displays to employees are:

• New
• Contacted
• Under Assessment
• Hired
• Archived

You will need to obtain a list of all possible dispositions in Greenhouse Recruiting and define which RolePoint status each disposition should be mapped to and/or add additional statuses that we should display to employee.

 

*Not all statuses need to be used/mapped.
