Product tier: Available for Expert tier subscription with HRIS Link add-on

With HRIS Link, you can programmatically import offices and departments to sync changes from your HRIS to Greenhouse Recruiting.

To import offices / departments, construct a report as a service (RaaS) in your HRIS that meets Greenhouse Recruiting specifications.

Note: If you want to use both office and department import, create standalone reports for both.

Set up HRIS Link for offices and departments

Note: HRIS Link currently only supports Workday®️.

First, create a RaaS office or department import report in Workday®️ using the report specifications for office or report specifications for department below. The primary business object in your report should be Location. Once constructed, enter the report URL and your ISU credentials in HRIS Link.

Office report specifications

Note: HRIS Link relies on an exact match of the report column header. In most cases, you need to override the default value when adding the column to your Workday®️ report.

Report column header

Workday®️ field Greenhouse Recruiting field
name

✓ Required field

Location name Office name
external_id

✓ Required field

Reference ID Office external ID
external_parent_id Parent Location Reference ID

Parent office external ID

See the changelog for further information about integration behavior.

Once you've constructed your report, enter the report URL and your ISU credentials in HRIS Link and reach out to your Greenhouse technical consultant.

They'll enable HRIS Link, and offices created or updated in Workday®️ will automatically sync to Greenhouse Recruiting. Learn more.
