ZipRecruiter connects employers and candidates with its wide-reaching network of over 100 partner job sites. ZipRecruiter's integration with Greenhouse Recruiting allows your organization to easily harness the power of this network to attract high-quality candidates to your open jobs.

Note: Beginning April 24, 2023, ZipRecruiter will add pay range estimates to job posts that don't have pay ranges on them. To avoid automatic pay range estimates on third-party job boards, use Greenhouse Recruiting pay transparency to add pay ranges to your job posts.

Sharing this information is optional. If provided, ZipRecruiter might reach out via these contact details to discuss paid ZipRecruiter features.

Job post information Greenhouse Recruiting will automatically share job post information with ZipRecruiter for every job board where the ZipRecruiter integration is enabled. This information will be used by ZipRecruiter to populate job posts on their site and over 100 partner job sites.
Job board API keys

Greenhouse Recruiting will automatically share a Job Board API Key for every job board where the ZipRecruiter integration is enabled. This data allows candidates to apply directly from ZipRecruiter and its partner job sites.
