Configure setup permissions in Greenhouse Recruiting
To configure the Greenhouse Recruiting / HiPeople integration, you’ll need the developer's permission 'Can manage ALL organization’s API Credentials.'
To assign this permission, find a Greenhouse Recruiting user in your organization with Site Admin permission and the user-specific permission 'Can edit another user's advanced permissions' to update your account.
The Site Admin can update your permissions by navigating to your user page. They should click the Configure icon 
on their navigation bar, then select Users on the left > Your Name.
The Site Admin should scroll to User-Specific Permissions on your user page and expand the Developer Permissions dropdown.
Have them select 'Can manage ALL organization’s API credentials' in the Developer Permissions section and click Save.
Repeat as necessary for any other user that needs to set up the integration.

Use the HiPeople integration with Greenhouse Recruiting
The next step in using the HiPeople integration is to connect the HiPeople role to the corresponding job posting in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Find the role you wish to integrate and go to the [ . . . ] menu, and click Manage ATS automation.
Select the role from Greenhouse Recruiting that you would like to integrate with this HiPeople role.
Example: In the example below, we're integrating Customer Success Manager in Greenhouse Recruiting with Customer Success Manager in HiPeople:
On the next page, you must connect the HiPeople stages to the Greenhouse Recruiting stages as defined in your job setup. For example, you might like to connect the HiPeople Assessment to Inbox, and the HiPeople reference checks to Reference Check as shown below:
Example: In HiBob
Example: In Greenhouse Recruiting
Review your selected ATS pipeline stage & role, confirm that this is correct by clicking the checkbox, and then hit Confirm.
All done! Now you are ready to start using HiPeople for all the candidates within the Greenhouse role you linked above! Just move the candidate in Greenhouse to the respective stage, and HiPeople automatically takes care of the rest.
Start a reference check for a candidate from Greenhouse Recruiting
To start the reference check for the candidate, navigate to the candidate profile in Greenhouse Recruiting, and move the candidate to the Reference Check stage.
That's it! The request for the candidate to submit their references is on its way!
You can see the progress of the reference check for this candidate by going to the respective role in HiPeople – the candidate profile is synced and a reference check invite has been sent automatically.
Review the results of the reference check
As soon as one of the candidate's referees has provided their feedback, you will receive an email with an invitation from HiPeople to review the reference check results.
In addition, you can access the reference check results through an automated PDF report on a link in the candidate's Activity Feed tab that will appear as soon as the reference check is completed.
