Nexxt Organic integration for Greenhouse: free job distribution and scalable candidate flow

Nexxt Organic integrated with Greenhouse enables recruiters to post jobs for free on Nexxt's network and manage resulting applicants inside Greenhouse. The integration passes candidate applications directly into your Greenhouse job pipelines, creating a seamless sourcing-to-tracking flow without additional posting costs. This article explains how the integration works, which hiring teams benefit most, concrete advantages and trade-offs, setup and workflow examples, metrics to monitor, and practical tips to get consistent quality from organic sourcing at scale.

How the integration works technically: when you publish a job in Greenhouse and enable Nexxt Organic distribution, the job is listed on Nexxt.com and its network of career sites. Candidates apply through an easy-apply process hosted by Nexxt; their applications and resumes are pushed into the corresponding Greenhouse job as activities or candidate profiles so your normal interviewing and scoring processes continue without manual import. Because the integration is bi-directional only at the application ingestion level (posting and application transfer), all applicant management—stages, interviews, offer workflows—remains in Greenhouse. Nexxt handles reach and candidate capture; Greenhouse handles evaluation and decisional workflows.

Practical setup steps for Greenhouse admins: enable the Nexxt Organic integration in your Greenhouse marketplace or follow developer docs to configure API keys and job mapping. Confirm that job templates include required application fields, map custom fields so candidate data appears in the right Greenhouse fields, and test with a sample posting to verify candidate records are created correctly. Run a small pilot for a set of jobs to validate application completeness, inbound data cleanliness, and the behavior of automated actions (e.g., email triggers, scorecards). Document mapping and standard operating procedures to ensure hiring managers understand where sourced candidates appear in Greenhouse.

Example end-to-end workflow (post to hire)

• 1. Create job in Greenhouse Publish job with required fields and tags that Nexxt will display.
• 2. Enable Nexxt Organic distribution Turn on organic posting in the Greenhouse job UI or through integration settings.
• 3. Candidates apply on Nexxt Applicants use the easy-apply flow; resumes and answers are captured.
• 4. Applications pushed to Greenhouse Candidate profiles and resumes appear in the job's candidate list.
• 5. Screen and advance in Greenhouse Use interview kits, scorecards, and automation to progress qualified candidates.
• 6. Hire and log source performance Mark hires and record source attribution to calculate ROI and quality metrics.

Metrics to monitor after enabling Nexxt Organic: track apply rate (views-to-applications), application completion rate, time-to-first-response, quality-of-hire for hires sourced through Nexxt (e.g., interview-to-offer ratios), and cost-per-hire (nominal posting cost vs other channels). Also monitor source conversion funnel in Greenhouse to identify any drop-off points that need improved job descriptions or application fields. Set a 30- to 90-day window for measuring representative data; organic channels often need time to stabilize before you can draw conclusions about long-term performance.

Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

• Incomplete application mapping Ensure Greenhouse fields match Nexxt's capture fields to avoid missing candidate data (phone, eligibility, custom screening answers).
• Assuming unlimited volume equals quality Monitor candidate quality metrics and use targeted job content to attract relevant applicants rather than relying solely on volume.
• Not testing the easy-apply flow Test the candidate experience on mobile and desktop to minimize drop-off caused by confusing forms or missing validations.
• Ignoring attribution Tag source attribution explicitly so hires from Nexxt can be evaluated separately from other channels.

Frequently asked questions about Nexxt Organic + Greenhouse

Privacy, data protection, and compliance considerations: review Nexxt’s privacy policy and ensure candidate consent and data handling meet your internal standards and regional legal requirements. Confirm which candidate attributes are shared and stored in Greenhouse and apply retention and deletion rules consistent with your privacy policy. Coordinate with HR and legal to document where candidate data lives, who has access, and how long records are retained. Also verify that the easy-apply flow captures required data (e.g., eligibility to work fields) to support lawful hiring decisions.

Scaling and customization tips: use targeted job descriptions and geo tags to improve relevance when listing at scale. Leverage Greenhouse's job templates and scorecards to maintain consistent evaluation across higher volume from organic channels. If certain roles get too many irrelevant applications, refine the job spec, add screening questions, or route to a different process to keep workflow efficient. For multi-region hiring, use localized job titles and descriptions to match local search intent. Monitor search terms or referral pages from Nexxt to learn which listings attract the best matches and iterate.
