XOR, Inc. is passionate about making recruiting, human resources, and technology work together. Greenhouse's integration with XOR makes the recruiting process even more efficient. With the integration, XOR can automate the screening and scheduling process using an AI chatbot. Qualified candidates are then added in your Greenhouse account where you can see the transcription of the entire chatbot conversations, as well as the candidates' resumes.

Set up the XOR integration

Create a Harvest API key

To configure the Greenhouse Recruiting / XOR integration, you'll need to create a Harvest API key.

Follow the steps in this article to create the key, and verify that the credentials and permissions below are selected when configuring the XOR integration.

Credentials

In the Create New Credential box, make the following selections:

  • API type: Harvest
  • Partner: XOR
  • Description: XOR Harvest API key

Permissions

Verify that the following permissions are selected for the XOR integration:

Users

  • GET: List Users

Candidates

  • GET: Retrieve Candidate
  • GET: List Candidates
  • POST: Add Candidate
  • PATCH: Edit Candidate
  • POST: Add Application
  • POST: Add Note

Applications

  • GET: Retrieve Application
  • GET: List Applications
  • POST: Add Attachment to Application

When finished, copy your API key in a secure location to provide to XOR in the next step.

Provide your API key to XOR and complete setup

With your Harvest API key copied, login to your XOR account and select Companies > Company Name > Edit Company.

On the Company page, click Integrations Settings and select Greenhouse Settings.

Enter the company's Email (the one registered on Greenhouse Recruiting) and enter the Harvest API key.

Enable the Email Notification and edit the message. Enable the SMS Notification and edit the message. Click the Save button at the top-right.

Use the XOR integration with Greenhouse Recruiting

Once the integration on company and vacancy levels is performed, you can start sourcing candidates.

There are two scenarios in which to the XOR integration with Greenhouse Recruiting applies:

1. The candidate applies on the Greenhouse Recruiting careers page for a specific job posting. XOR monitors job applications with Greenhouse Harvest API. As soon as XOR finds a new job application, the candidate is invited to pass the chatbot linked to the job requisition. After the qualification, XOR sends the updated candidate information back to the Greenhouse Recruiting with the transcription of the entire chatbot conversation (cover letter), as well as the candidate's resume.

2. The candidate applies to a job in XOR (through a direct chatbot link, XOR Landing page, text to apply, etc.). If this job is linked to a Greenhouse requisition, after the candidate's qualification XOR adds the candidate in the Greenhouse database (with the Resume and Cover Letter), creating a new application.

  • Select the phone number or email address of the candidate to fill in all the necessary fields.
  • Select the scheduled Campaign to which you want to add the candidate.
  • Click the Add Candidate button.

Opt-in consent for Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging

Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging allows organizations to send messages to standard 10-digit long code (10DLC) phone numbers.

New texting regulations for A2P 10DLC require candidates expressly opt-in when applying for jobs in order to receive A2P communications. If a candidate opts-out, these messages will be blocked. 

To obtain opt-in consent for candidate applications in Greenhouse Recruiting, create a custom application question, using Yes/No as the configured answer type, and apply this question to your job posts in bulk.

For additional questions or to discuss A2P 10DLC regulations further, reach your Customer Success manager.
