Cauldron helps recruiters eliminate the candidate screening bottleneck and hire in less than 7 days.
Cauldron is a layer on top of Greenhouse for you to pre-screen candidates with quick role-specific tasks as applications roll in. On the backend, hiring managers can score those task responses without knowing which applications they belong to.
Greenhouse Recruiting’s integration with Cauldron allows you to do the following:
- Pre-screen candidates with quick high-signal tasks as they apply
- Score applications separate from any sensitive data
- Fast-track top applications with skill-based tasks instead of resumes
- Seamlessly transfer all applications to Greenhouse
- View the application and its score in Greenhouse
