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.
HiPeople offers two integration types: Pull (Harvest) and Push (Assessment). Each integration has a different trigger flow and can support different products in HiPeople.
HiPeople Push integration
Trigger HiPeople assessments or reference checks directly from your ATS using the HiPeople Send Assessment API stage. This is ideal for recruiters hiring across many roles where customizations in HiPeople aren't required.
Configure the HiPeople Push integration
Activate the integration in HiPeople
In HiPeople, click your name in the bottom left corner, then click Settings.
Click Integrations from the left menu.
On the Integrations page, locate and click Greenhouse under the Send from ATS (Push Integration) category.
You'll be guided to the Kombo Connect integration flow. First, click Continue.
You will be prompted to log in with your Greenhouse account credentials. Click Sign in with Greenhouse.
You can review what HiPeople will be able to access. The information is view-only. At the bottom, you will be prompted to add your email address. Please add it in the respective field and click Log in to Greenhouse.
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.
Once the initial step of the connection is successful, you will see a confirmation and warning that you will be redirected to the next step in a moment. Don't close the window.
Check and add your Greenhouse subdomain. This is the start of the address you access Greenhouse on. If you, for example, use Greenhouse on my-company.greenhouse.io, then your subdomain is my-company. Once the domain is added, click Continue.
HiPeople will provide an API key that you'll need to send to Greenhouse support. Make sure that you copy and store this API key in a safe place, and then you can click Set up integration.
To set up the result custom fields, you will click on the arrow box.
Create the following Application custom fields in your Greenhouse instance:
HiPeople Test Score: To display the result link before the assessment test is completed by the candidate.
HiPeople Result Link: To display the updated score if the score needs to be adjusted.
Once both are created, click Complete setup.
You will be routed back to the Setup Result Custom Fields screen, but this time, the action box will be marked with a Completed tag. This means that step is done and you can click Finish.
You are now done with the setup flow, and will see the confirmation for "Connection set up successfully!" on your screen.
Once your setup is complete, contact Greenhouse Support and request a secure link to send your API key for the HiPeople Send stage (the one you copied earlier). Do not send this API key in the initial message. Steps are followed here.
Add the HiPeople Send stage to your jobs in Greenhouse
After your integration API is shared with Greenhouse Support and Greenhouse Support confirms the update is done on their end, follow the steps in this article to add the HiPeople stage to your interview plans. This stage can be used for either an Assessment or a Reference Check, depending on which HiPeople product you use.
Once you've set up your interview plans and configured this stage to be part of your hiring process, you'll be able to send the Assessment or Reference Check to candidates.
Use the HiPeople Push (Assessment) integration
You can send an Assessment or Reference Check to a candidate by moving the candidate to the HiPeople Send stage, and then clicking Send test to candidate.
You will then select which Assessment or Reference Check template you want to send to the candidate, who will grade it once the submission is complete, and then click Send test.
Note: When you send a test in Greenhouse Recruiting, the instructions are actually sent by HiPeople.
After it has been sent, the Assessment or Reference Check status will display in Greenhouse Recruiting.
