The Greenhouse Recruiting Chrome extension is a browser plugin that allows your organization to add prospects to your Greenhouse CRM from a website, resume, or manually through the plugin without leaving your current workflow.
The extension also has the ability to discover a prospect's email address when parsing their information from select websites. With lookup credits, recruiters can accelerate their outreach initiative and improve response rates through enriched and accurate contact data.
Step 1: Locate duplicate prospects
When parsing information from AngelList, Github, Indeed, and LinkedIn, highlight the prospect's name or email address to check for duplicates within Greenhouse Recruiting.
If a duplicate isn't found, click Prefill to add their information to the extension.
Note: If the highlight feature doesn't work, confirm that the extension has access to the website data. Extension icon > Ellipsis icon
> Manage Extensions > Scroll to the Site access section > Click the site toggle to enable access
Now that you've checked for duplicates, continue with adding the prospect to the extension in step two.
