Use the HireVue integration with Greenhouse Recruiting

Once the HireVue integration is enabled for your organization, you will be able to add the HireVue assessment as an interview stage.

To create available assessments to select in Greenhouse, first create the appropriate Job Templates in the HireVue platform. 

Set up the stages and types of assessments/interviews that will be used to evaluate candidates for your job or jobs. If using multiple stages you will select Manual as the advancement option as secondary stages are triggered from status changes within Greenhouse. There will be an additional step to set up secondary stages as available assessment packages in Greenhouse. 

If you will be using multiple stages in your HireVue workflows, then you will need to set up some dummy templates to be place holders for additional stages. These packages will be used across templates. During initial setup, create as many dummy stages as you think you might leverage in a workflow. Typically, this is no more than 2-3 stages. The naming convention of the job templates should be HireVue-STAGE-X, where X is the stage number, such as 2 or 3.

You will be all set to select packages in Greenhouse.

You can send an assessment to a candidate by selecting the Send Test button next to the interview stage.

Send candidates automatically when they reach a stage in the Interview Plan in Greenhouse

You can optionally automate this integration by sending candidates to HireVue automatically when they reach a stage in the Interview Plan in Greenhouse.

Set up stages for HireVue by selecting the HireVue stage(s). Rename the secondary stage if using multiple stages. Select the test that will be sent to the candidate.

Once your job is created, you can set up Stage Transition rules if you wish to automate sending the Assessment/Interview.

After it has been sent, the assessment’s status will display in Greenhouse Recruiting.

Once the candidate has submitted their test, the Interview Kit will contain a link to view the submitted test in the HireVue application. 

To see a candidate’s results in HireVue, click View Report .
