Feature-to-benefit mapping

How it works (technical flow): When a candidate applies via Greenhouse or their CV is uploaded, CiiVSOFT’s API receives the document, extracts structured data, and runs match and inference models. Results—match scores, inferred skills, suggested disposition and standardized feedback—are posted back to Greenhouse and recorded in the Candidate Activity Feed. Recruiters see recommended candidates highlighted in vacancy pipelines and can use the data directly in existing Greenhouse workflows.
Typical implementation steps
- Integration setup Connect CiiVSOFT to Greenhouse via the provided API keys and grant read/write permissions for candidate and activity data.
- Configuration Map job templates, define role-specific scoring weights (if desired), and select languages to enable.
- Pilot Run a pilot on a subset of roles to calibrate match thresholds and review feedback templates with hiring managers.
- Rollout Enable integration across pipelines and monitor performance with defined KPIs.

Q: How is bias mitigation handled?
A: Evaluations use standardized, model-based scoring and generate bias-mitigating feedback. All analyses are auditable in Greenhouse to support review and compliance processes.
Q: Which languages are supported?
A: The integration supports a broad set of languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Arabic, and more) to support global hiring needs.
Q: What ongoing maintenance is required?

Measuring ROI: track the reduction in time-to-shortlist and recruiter hours saved on initial screening, interview-to-hire conversion rate changes, and candidate experience metrics (feedback response or NPS if collected). Customers commonly report up to 90% time savings on top-of-funnel tasks and measurable increases in shortlist relevance within weeks of rollout.
Operational best practices
- Calibrate per role Adjust scoring weights and thresholds for technical vs. non-technical roles to align AI recommendations with hiring manager expectations.
- Use feedback templates Customize candidate feedback templates so automated messages match your employer brand and provide useful guidance to applicants.
- Monitor and audit Regularly review Candidate Activity Feed entries and model outputs for unusual patterns; keep a cadence for human review of edge cases.
- Integrate with scorecards Map AI signals to Greenhouse scorecards so interviewer assessments and AI recommendations align in downstream evaluation.
Manual review vs CiiVSOFT inside Greenhouse vs Partial automation
| Approach | Time per candidate | Consistency | Auditability | Best use case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manual review | High (minutes per CV) | Variable | Limited | Low volume, highly niche roles where human judgment dominates |
| CiiVSOFT in Greenhouse (Full integration) | Low (seconds — automated) | High | High (Candidate Activity Feed) | High-volume hiring, global recruiting, enterprise pipelines |
| Partial automation (external tools) | Medium | Medium | Depends on integration | Teams wanting quick wins but not full ATS-native workflows |
Real-world impact: customers report improvements in candidate quality and recruiter experience. Examples include a healthcare TA team noting that “the quality and volume of candidates being recommended are great,” and an FMCG HR project manager highlighting improved recruiter and candidate experience. These outcomes reflect faster screening, clearer shortlists and more consistent candidate communication.
Support, compliance and limits: CiiVSOFT provides documentation, a Greenhouse support page, and a privacy policy to guide data handling. Implementation typically has no partner fee and requires minimal IT involvement, but teams should plan configuration time and a short pilot. Limitations include roles where public CVs lack the signals models rely on (very early-career internships or non-traditional portfolios), where additional human review remains important.
