HiPeople is a hiring optimization platform offering Reference Checks, Assessments, AI Interviews, and AI Resume Screening. HiPeople helps recruiting teams make faster, more informed hiring decisions by automating manual steps and surfacing objective candidate data early in the process.

HiPeople's integration with Greenhouse Recruiting allows users to send reference check, assessment, and AI interview requests directly from a Greenhouse Recruiting candidate profile, with results and scorecards synced back automatically and candidate status kept up to date across both systems without manual data entry. Users can also import jobs and candidates from Greenhouse into HiPeople to screen resumes against job requirements, with results pushed back to Greenhouse.

You will be prompted to log in, so follow those steps. Once you're logged in, you can either mark the option to Authorize using a service account (in which case an org-level service account will be created to own authorization for actions) or you can skip that and simply click Authorize straight away.

That's it, the initial setup flow is complete! You will now see your pull integration active in HiPeople. As a next step, you will need to create four webhooks in Greenhouse. Hover your mouse over the Greenhouse tile so you can see a question mark (?), and click on it.

Connecting a job in HiPeople with your Greenhouse job

After completing the setup, you will be ready to use the integration.

To begin, you'll need to connect a role in HiPeople to the corresponding job posting in Greenhouse Recruiting.

In HiPeople, find the role you wish to integrate and then go to the [ . . . ] menu > Manage ATS automation.

On the first drop-down bar ("Select status to filter jobs by"), choose the Greenhouse status of the role you want to connect with this job in HiPeople. On the second bar ("Select Greenhouse job"), select the job you want to connect.

Job status and Greenhouse job selection drop-down bars

Once you have selected a job, new drop-down options will show. Configure the Pipeline stages for each of the products you have selected in the HiPeople job. For example, if your job has the Reference check product enabled, choose what pipeline stage in Greenhouse will trigger the automatic Reference check invite for your candidate.

Next, you can select a default rejection reason and an email template. This step is optional, and choosing an option here will not trigger any automatic rejection. You will still need to trigger that in HiPeople.

Click Next step to go to the next setup page, and so on until you can save the edits to the job.

You are now ready to start using HiPeople for all the candidates within the Greenhouse role linked above! Move the candidate in Greenhouse to the respective stage, and HiPeople automatically takes care of the rest.

Start an Assessment or Reference Check

To start the Assessment or Reference Check for the candidate, navigate to the candidate profile in Greenhouse Recruiting, and move the candidate to the Assessment or Reference Check stage.
