Hyreo + Greenhouse integration: Conversational candidate support, intelligent prescreening, and automated scheduling

Hyreo’s direct integration with Greenhouse creates an automated candidate support and interview management layer that sits alongside your ATS. It delivers 24/7 conversational candidate assistance, intelligent prescreening, bespoke outbound communications, and an interview control center that syncs status, scheduling, and candidate responses back to Greenhouse. This article explains exactly what the Hyreo–Greenhouse integration does, which teams and hiring contexts benefit most, and the measurable gains and implementation steps to expect. It also outlines technical flow, common pitfalls, and a short ROI sample you can use to justify a pilot.

What Hyreo integration does in practice: it automates initial candidate touchpoints (chat, SMS, email), captures structured prescreening answers, manages scheduling and follow-ups, and writes outcomes back into Greenhouse so recruiters always see the latest candidate state. The integration is configurable to workflows, regional needs, and volume-based automation rules, reducing repetitive manual work while keeping candidate experience consistent and measurable.

Key features at a glance

• 24/7 candidate agent and chatbot A configurable conversational engine that answers queries, screens candidates, captures responses and hands high-fit candidates to recruiters.
• Candidate prescreening (saves ~25% recruiter effort) Structured questions collect eligibility and preference data up front to reduce time spent on low-fit candidates during recruiter outreach.
• Automated & Intelligent Interview Manager Auto-scheduling, follow-ups, calendar sync, in-built video interviews, and a control center for managing interviewer availability.
• Bespoke candidate communications User-initiated, goal-oriented emails and SMS with dynamic content and personalized cadence for improved outreach and conversion.
• Bidirectional Greenhouse sync Candidate scores, tags, interview statuses and notes flow into Greenhouse; Greenhouse triggers and changes can drive Hyreo workflows.
• Analytics and conversion tracking Dashboards show touchpoint performance, offer-to-hire conversion, and where candidates drop off in the funnel.

Who should consider Hyreo + Greenhouse

• High-volume recruiting teams Teams hiring at scale (campus, customer support, retail) that need consistent screening and rapid callbacks.
• Distributed or remote interview programs Organizations with distributed interviewers gain consistent scheduling, reminders, and in-built video to reduce no-shows.
• Recruitment teams aiming to reduce time-to-hire When repetitive manual screening and scheduling slow process throughput, automation creates capacity gains.
• Enterprise and mid-market companies The integration suits organizations in APAC, South America, and North America, especially 1,001+ headcount where scale matters.

Top measurable benefits from typical Hyreo + Greenhouse adopters include lower cost-per-hire, faster time-to-offer, higher interview-to-offer conversion and improved candidate satisfaction. Hyreo’s prescreening often eliminates unqualified applicants before recruiter outreach, while automation of scheduling reduces coordinator hours and interview dropouts.

Sample ROI calculation (annualized)

How candidate prescreening works (technical flow): Hyreo presents a conversational flow (chat or SMS) to candidates, collects structured responses and scoring attributes, then pushes those fields into Greenhouse via API or webhook. Recruiters see a flagged candidate profile, with prescreen answers displayed as custom fields or interview kits, enabling higher-value recruiter conversations.

Interview Manager capabilities

• Auto-scheduling Matches candidate availability with interviewer calendars and confirms slots without manual threads.
• Follow-ups and reminders Automated reminders reduce no-shows and keep candidates informed of next steps.
• Built-in video interviews Embedded video platform removes the need for a separate tool and centralizes recordings and notes.
• Control center for interviewers A dashboard for hiring managers to see upcoming interviews, feedback status, and outstanding actions.

Integration and implementation checklist

• Pre-install requirements Confirm Greenhouse admin access, API key, and mapping requirements for custom fields.
• Define prescreen criteria Agree on the screening questions, pass/fail rules, and score thresholds with hiring stakeholders.
• Map data flows Decide which Hyreo fields map to Greenhouse stages, tags, or candidate custom fields.
• Pilot and iterate Run a 4–8 week pilot with a single job family, measure conversion and time saved, then expand.
• Privacy and regional checks Review Hyreo privacy policy and ensure consent and data residency meet local regulations.

Candidate communications: Hyreo supports multi-channel outreach (email, SMS, and chat) with dynamic templates that inject role-specific details and timelines. Typical cadences include an initial prescreen invite, a reminder at 48 hours, and a scheduling link once the candidate passes the prescreen — all logged in Greenhouse for visibility.

Security and compliance considerations: Hyreo provides a privacy policy and integrates with Greenhouse in a way that can be scoped to organizational consent needs. For global teams, review regional data handling (APAC, South America, North America) and ensure language and localization settings (Hyreo currently supports English in its core flows) meet candidate-facing requirements.

Common pitfalls and troubleshooting

• Field mapping mismatches Mismatch between Hyreo field names and Greenhouse custom fields causes data not to appear where expected; resolve by aligning field IDs during setup.
• Timezone scheduling errors Ensure candidate timezone is captured by Hyreo and that interviewer calendars are interpreted consistently to avoid double-booking.
• Duplicate candidate profiles Configure deduplication rules to prevent multiple Greenhouse profiles when a candidate interacts via different channels.
• Analytics lag Allow for short sync delays between Hyreo events and Greenhouse dashboards; if larger delays occur, check webhook health and API rate limits.

Frequently asked questions

Best practices to maximize impact: start with a narrow pilot (one role or team), define clear success metrics (recruiter hours saved, offer-to-hire improvement, scheduling no-shows), and iterate conversational scripts weekly during the pilot. Combine Hyreo’s automation with recruiter touchpoints for high-fit candidates rather than replacing human engagement entirely.
