Use the RepVue integration with Greenhouse Recruiting
There are four integration points for the Greenhouse Recruiting / RepVue integration: accessing jobs, creating candidates, updating candidates, and updating jobs.
Accessing jobs
RepVue pulls 'job posts' from Greenhouse Recruiting into RepVue via the Harvest API endpoint GET: List Job posts, and ingests the following fields from your job posts:
- ID (the job post ID)
- Title (the job post title)
- Content (the content of the job post, or job description)
- Location name (the location of the Greenhouse Recruiting job)
- Job ID (the ID of the job)
RepVue only pulls in job posts one time, and each job post will create a 'job' in the RepVue system with a default status of new. RepVue looks for new job posts once per hour via this API call.
Creating candidates
RepVue leverages the Harvest API endpoint POST: Add candidates to create candidates in Greenhouse Recruiting when an applicant clicks Apply via RepVue for a job that has been posted for a Greenhouse Recruiting <> RepVue integration user.
RepVue provides the following candidate fields to Greenhouse Recruiting:
- First Name
- Last Name
- E-mail address ('Other' is used for email type)
- LinkedIn URL
- Job ID
- Source
When RepVue creates candidates in Greenhouse, RepVue receives a response with the following information:
- Candidate ID
- Application ID
Note: When an applicant clicks Applies via RepVue, the candidate profile is created in Greenhouse Recruiting within about 15 minutes.
Updating candidate status
When a candidate is successfully created in Greenhouse Recruiting, the candidate status will default to ‘engagement’ status in the RepVue system. RepVue checks candidate status regularly to track rejections and hires via the Greenhouse Recruiting / RepVue integration via the Harvest API endpoint GET: List candidates.
RepVue provides the Greenhouse Recruiting candidate ID along with the Greenhouse Recruiting application ID(s), and receives back the following information:
- Status (application status)
- Stage name (‘current stage’ in Greenhouse Recruiting)
For the ‘Status’ field there are three potential responses from Greenhouse Recruiting:
- Rejected: For any application with a Greenhouse Recruiting status of rejected, RepVue sets the RepVue connection status to declined.
- Active: For any application with a Greenhouse Recruiting status of active, RepVue sets the RepVue connection status to engaged.
Note: For new connections created via RepVue, the status will default to ‘active’ when created. The expected behavior is that the application status of 'active' will trigger an update in the RepVue system for the connection status to change from ‘new’ to ‘engagement’ in the RepVue system until it is subsequently set to 'rejected' or 'hired.'
- Hired: For any application with a Greenhouse Recruiting status of hired, RepVue sets the RepVue connection status to hiresuccessful.
RepVue checks hourly for status updates to candidates.
Updating job post status
Job posts that are turned off in Greenhouse Recruiting are also removed from RepVue. RepVue checks the job post status regularly via the Harvest API endpoint GET: Retrieve job posts.
RepVue checks all jobs in RepVue with a status of ‘active’ or ‘new’ in Greenhouse Recruiting system via the API for the job post status, leveraging the job posts call in the Harvest API endpoint GET: Retrieve job posts.
- If the LIVE status is FALSE for a job post on Greenhouse Recruiting, the RepVue job status will be set to ‘archived,' which automatically pulls the job off of the RepVue job board.
- If the LIVE status is TRUE for a job post on Greenhouse Recruiting, no action is taken.
