Use the Circular integration
Once enabled, you'll receive candidates from Circular directly into the application review stage on your jobs. Candidates added to your Greenhouse Recruiting account from Circular will have a source of Circular listed on their Details tab.
You can also review referral information other members of the Circular community have left about candidates. These reviews are included within each candidate's resume, located under the Details tab on the candidate profile in Greenhouse Recruiting.
To schedule an interview with a candidate added from Circular, advance the candidate to an interview stage in Greenhouse Recruiting. The candidate will receive an automatic email from Circular with your interview interest. If the candidate accepts, Circular will introduce you and the candidate by email.
