While HRIS Link prefers to sync data endlessly, sometimes errors occur. HRIS Link errors serve to inform you of the cause of the problem and the suggested solution. Some errors are blocking errors, meaning updates to information in Greenhouse Recruiting won't occur without resolving the error first.

Greenhouse Recruiting sends a status email each time HRIS Link runs to confirm whether the sync succeeded or failed. If HRIS Link fails, the email will contain an error. Check out the table below to find the error name from your email, along with whether it's a blocking error, and how to solve it:

Issue The office referenced in the HRIS report does not exist in Greenhouse Recruiting. The report value must exist as an Office name or external ID in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Blocking error?

Yes, this is a blocking error. Updates will not occur in Greenhouse Recruiting until the error is resolved.

Solution

Take the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. Audit the HRIS Link job import report (or the job in your HRIS) for the office or department name or external ID that caused the error.
  2. In Greenhouse Recruiting, go to Configure Configure icon > Organization.
  3. Confirm the office or department name does not exist in Greenhouse Recruiting.
  4. To audit the external ID for an office or department in the Greenhouse Recruiting UI, to click the Edit icon Edit icon next to the office or department name. If you need to audit all external IDs, leverage the Harvest API or reach out to Greenhouse Support.

If the office or department name/external ID does not exist in Greenhouse Recruiting and you have office import or department import:

  1. Confirm the office exists in your HRIS with the appropriate external ID and name.
  2. Wait for office import or department import to run again, then audit to see if this error persists after the office with the correct ID has been created/updated by HRIS Link.

Error message: Custom Field {CUSTOM_JOB_FIELD_NAME} has no option for value '<VALUE>'

Blocking error?

Yes, this is a blocking error. Updates will not occur in Greenhouse Recruiting until the error is resolved.

Solution

  2. Wait 15 minutes for the report to run again
  3. If the error persists, click here to open a ticket with Greenhouse Support.

No user exists with Email or Employee ID <value>

Email subject HRIS Link: Job import failed
Error information No user exists with Email or Employee ID <value>
Issue The email address or employee ID referenced in the HRIS report is not associated with an existing Greenhouse User account; the HRIS report value must match a Greenhouse Recruiting user's employee ID or email address.
Blocking error?

Yes, this is a blocking error. Updates will not occur in Greenhouse Recruiting until the error is resolved.

Solution

Take the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. In Greenhouse Recruiting, go to Configure Configure icon > Users > search for the user who was included in the HRIS report (for example, the Recruiter or Hiring Manager).
  2. If you cannot find the user, you must create them in Greenhouse Recruiting.
  3. If you are able to find the user, click into their profile and verify the Greenhouse Recruiting employee ID and/or email address matches what was included in the HRIS report.

If your organization does not have user import:

  1. If the value included in the HRIS report does not match the Greenhouse Recruiting user's employee ID or email address, you must update the Greenhouse Recruiting user's profile accordingly.
  2. Wait 15 minutes for the report to run again.

If the error persists, click here to open a ticket with Greenhouse Support.

If your organization has user import:

  1. Update the employee ID or email address for the employee in question in your HRIS so it flows to Greenhouse Recruiting on the next run of the report.
  2. Wait 15 minutes for user import to run again.

If the job import error persists after user import has updated the user profile in Greenhouse Recruiting, click here to open a ticket with Greenhouse Support.

Blocking error?

Yes, this is a blocking error. Updates will not occur in Greenhouse Recruiting until the error is resolved.

Solution

Take the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. In Greenhouse (Configure Configure icon > Users), audit the ISU used for the HRIS Link integration (named: HRIS Link).
  2. Confirm the ISU is a Site Admin with all user-specific permissions.
  3. If the user is not a Site Admin with all user-specific permissions, update the permissions accordingly.

Email subject HRIS Link: Job import completed with errors
Error information

Hiring Manager with ID <value> can not access job.

or

Issue The Hiring Manager or Recruiter cannot access the job in question because their Greenhouse Recruiting user profile is deactivated, or cannot be found using the employee ID provided in the HRIS report.
Blocking error?

No, this is not a blocking error.

Solution

Take the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. In your HRIS, look up the user associated with the employee ID that is defined for the hiring_managers or recruiters field.

  3. Confirm the employee ID defined in Workday®️ is the same as it appears in Greenhouse Recruiting.
  4. Confirm the Greenhouse Recruiting user in question is active (not deactivated) in Greenhouse Recruiting.

If the ID provided matches the employee_ID and the GHR user profile is active in Greenhouse:

  1. Audit the HRIS Link Greenhouse ISU (Configure Configure icon > Users > click into the "HRIS Link" user profile)
  2. Ensure the HRIS Link GHR User is a "Site Admin" with all user-specific permissions.
  3. If the HRIS Link user profile doesn't have all user-specific permission, update the permissions to be so.
  4. Wait 15 minutes for the next job import report to run.

X jobs found in Greenhouse with requisition_id: <value>

Email subject HRIS Link: Job import completed with errors
Error information X jobs found in Greenhouse with requisition_id: <value>
Issue This error message means there are two jobs in the Greenhouse Recruiting instance with a matching job requisition ID. As a result, job import cannot update the job because job import does not know which of the two existing jobs to update.
Blocking error?

  2. Audit each job to determine which job should be maintained.
  3. Go to the Job Info page of the job that will not be kept.
  4. Click the Edit icon Edit icon next to Status > close the job > click Save > click Delete.
  5. Wait 15 minutes for job import to run again.

{REQ_ID} Is not required, but can not be updated to blank

Email subject HRIS Link: Job import completed with errors
Error information

{REQ_ID} Is not required, but can not be updated to blank.

Issue A blank name field was included in the report results.
Blocking error?

No, this is not a blocking error.

Solution

Take the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. Audit the HRIS Link job import report to verify that name fields which are not blank were applied. The easiest way to accomplish this task is to apply a filter to the HRIS Link job import report.
  2. Remove the blank name field. If you do not need the name field, remove it from the report or enter it as null (rather than blank text).
