How the Greenhouse integration works technically: InHerSight connects via Greenhouse’s API to pull job feeds and status fields. Typical fields synchronized include job title, location, department, remote/hybrid flags, job description, requisition ID, and open/closed status. Once jobs are pulled, InHerSight’s platform indexes them and runs matching algorithms against candidate signals in its database.
Typical pre- and post-integration outcomes (expected improvements)
| Metric | Before integration (typical) | After integration (expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Manual posting effort | Multiple manual postings across boards, frequent updates | Single source (Greenhouse) with automatic propagation |
| Time-to-post new jobs | 24–72 hours per channel due to manual steps | Near real-time (minutes–hours) once synced |
| Visibility to InHerSight audience | Jobs may not appear or be out-of-date | Accurate, up-to-date listings reaching InHerSight candidates |
| Source-of-hire attribution | Often incomplete or manual | Trackable via InHerSight metrics and Greenhouse source tags |
Implementation checklist — step-by-step
- Confirm Greenhouse permissions Ensure API access and proper permissions are enabled for job read and status update calls.
- Map job fields Validate that job titles, locations, remote flags, and descriptions are in standardized fields so InHerSight ingests them cleanly.
- Set status mapping rules Decide which Greenhouse statuses (e.g., open, closed, paused) map to visible or hidden states in InHerSight.
- Optimize employer profile Prepare benefits, perks, and editorial content so the profile presents a complete view when jobs are live.
- Test and validate Push a sample job, confirm display on InHerSight, check tracking parameters, and validate performance metrics in admin.
- Monitor and iterate Review reach and application metrics weekly for the first 60–90 days and adjust job copy or targeting accordingly.
Common questions about the Greenhouse–InHerSight integration
Q: How long does setup take?
A: Typical setups range from a single business day for basic syncs to 1–2 weeks for integrations that include custom field mapping and profile optimization.
Q: Does InHerSight write or change job descriptions?
A: No—InHerSight pulls job descriptions from Greenhouse. Any edits should be made in Greenhouse to keep the single source-of-truth consistent.
Q: What data is reported back to Greenhouse?
A: InHerSight reports job performance metrics in its employer admin and can provide source-of-hire attribution and campaign-level data; direct back-population into Greenhouse fields depends on configured integrations and tagging practices.
Q: Is candidate data shared with InHerSight?
A: Candidate matching uses InHerSight’s internal datasets to surface candidates; any identifiable candidate data transfer follows your configured data-sharing agreements and privacy settings.
Best practices for job postings and profile optimization: keep titles standardized (avoid internal jargon), include clear location and remote-work details, surface top benefits and job-level reporting lines in the description, and use bullet lists for key qualifications and responsibilities. On the employer profile, prioritize up-to-date benefits, clear company values in factual terms, and measurable program descriptions (for example, leave policies, flexible hours, and career development programs).
Measurable benefits and KPIs to track after integration
- Time-to-fill Measure whether synced jobs reduce average days-to-hire compared to prior channels.
- Application rate per view (conversion) Track click-to-apply ratios originating from InHerSight versus other sources.
- Quality of applicants Compare interview rate and offer-rate for candidates sourced via InHerSight matches.
- Source-of-hire attribution Validate hires attributed to InHerSight to estimate cost-per-hire and ROI.
- Operational time saved Estimate recruiter hours saved by removing manual posting and updating across channels.
Common issues during integration and practical fixes
| Issue | Likely cause | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|
| Jobs not appearing on InHerSight | API permissions or field mapping mismatch | Verify API keys, confirm permission scope, and check field mapping in InHerSight admin |
| Stale job statuses | Status mapping not configured or delayed sync intervals | Configure status mappings and reduce sync interval; test with status changes |
| Incomplete job details (missing location or benefits) | Non-standard fields or content in Greenhouse | Standardize job templates in Greenhouse and map custom fields to InHerSight equivalents |
| Tracking or source attribution missing | Missing UTM or tagging configuration | Enable source tagging in Greenhouse and confirm tracking parameters are passed to InHerSight |
Costs, support, and company fit: InHerSight lists a variety of partner pricing and for many partners there is no implementation fee. Support is provided through InHerSight’s employer partner teams who assist with profile optimization, job feed setup, and campaign performance reviews. This integration fits companies that prioritize streamlined operations for posting jobs and organizations seeking better visibility into a candidate audience that uses employer profiles to evaluate opportunities.
Use cases and an example ROI scenario: a mid-sized company (1,001–10,000 employees) reduced manual posting time by 60% and saw a 15% lift in application conversion from InHerSight-sourced jobs after standardizing job templates and enabling matching. If average recruiter hourly cost is $60 and the team saved 200 hours annually on postings and follow-ups, that’s $12,000 in operational savings plus improved time-to-fill that can reduce vacancy costs. Tracking hires attributed to InHerSight completes the ROI picture.
