Seeker integration

Seeker reviews resumes with AI and matches candidates to job descriptions based on skills, location, and language requirements. It can identify both technical and business skills, filter out internship experience, and flag candidates who appear to change jobs too frequently.

Thanks to Seeker’s integration with Greenhouse Recruiting, every candidate is automatically tagged with a recommendation—ranging from Strong Yes to Reject—and a Screening Scorecard is generated as soon as they apply.

Use the Seeker integration with Greenhouse Recruiting

Seeker is made up of two main components:

1. A web application, and
2. An AI-powered matching algorithm.

1. Web Application

The web app (https://app.seekerhr.ai/) is accessible to all your team members at no additional cost. Within the app, you can view and configure all your open job postings.

Each job includes the following configurable sections:

• Skills. These are auto-filled based on the job description, but you can freely edit them—adding new skills or adjusting the required years of experience.
• Location. Also extracted from the job description and fully editable at any time.
• Languages. Specify the spoken languages required for the role. You can add as many as needed.
• Custom Prompts. Use this section to highlight niche experiences or desirable traits that can set candidates apart, but aren’t deal-breakers if missing.

In addition to these, there are more customizable settings to align Seeker with your recruitment workflow.

Once a job is configured and enabled in Seekr, Seeker will begin screening all new candidates according to the defined criteria using our AI-powered matching algorithm.

2. An AI-powered matching algorithm.

Every new candidate will receive an AI-generated Pre-Screening Scorecard, offering a quick and structured assessment of their fit.

Example Strong Yes candidate

Example Under-skilled candidate

Possible Recommendation Tags

• Strong Yes
• Yes
• Maybe
• Reject – Missing Skills
• Reject – Wrong Location
• Reject – No Languages
• Reject – Overqualified
• Job Hopper
• Any custom tags you've created under the Custom Prompts section

All tags and scorecards are submitted under the name of the Greenhouse user ID you selected in Step 2: Retrieve User ID.

Viewing Seeker Results in Greenhouse

During Candidate Review, you can see Seeker Scorecard and Tags on the right sidebar.

Or you can go to Candidates and apply a tag filter, such as Strong Yes, via Profile Details -> Candidate Tag. This way, you can start reviewing candidates from the shortlist prepared by Seeker.

FAQ

How long does the integration take?

Once we receive your integration details, we’ll complete the setup within one business day.

Candidate application but was not processed by Seeker

We receive new candidate data from Greenhouse via a webhook, typically within 5 minutes of application. However, in rare cases, it may take up to an hour. Please allow some time and check again later. If the issue persists, contact our support team at help@seekerhr.ai or through your Slack Connect channel.

Candidate was tagged with seeker-error.

This tag indicates we encountered an issue processing the candidate’s resume—often due to a corrupted or malformed file. It’s a rare occurrence (less than 1% of cases), and we’re continually working to improve it.

If you see this happening frequently, please reach out to us at help@seekerhr.ai or via Slack Connect.

Candidate scorecard doesn’t make sense

This usually means our system couldn’t properly extract text from the CV, which may have led the AI to misinterpret the candidate’s experience.

Please share the Candidate ID or URL with us at help@seekerhr.ai so we can investigate.
