Compa empowers recruiters to make every offer fair and competitive. The integration with Greenhouse makes it possible for Talent Acquisition teams to scale competitive pay decisions through real-time, data-driven offer intelligence.
Greenhouse Recruiting’s integration with Compa allows for application and compensation data to be structured, connected, and available to recruiters so they can navigate the offer process more efficiently.
Configure setup permissions in Greenhouse Recruiting
To configure the Greenhouse Recruiting / Compa integration, you’ll need the developer permission 'Can manage ALL organization’s API Credentials.'

The Site Admin can update your permissions by navigating to your user page. They should click the Configure icon 
> Users > Your Name.
The Site Admin should scroll to the User-Specific Permissions panel on your user page and expand the Developer Permissions dropdown menu.
Select 'Can manage ALL organization’s API credentials' in the Developer Permissions section and click Save.

Use the Compa integration with Greenhouse Recruiting
Compa stays in-sync with changes you make in Greenhouse automatically using the Harvest API and web hooks. When a recruiter needs to complete a step in Greenhouse, Compa deep links directly to the relevant page in Greenhouse.
As part of the integration, Compa deploys “Compa Bot” to automatically post updated notes in Greenhouse based on user activity in Compa and to deep link from Greenhouse to Compa. Compa Bot is a service user that Compa will create as part of the integration setup. Compa Bot writes in Greenhouse on behalf of Compa.
