Add TestDome Work-Sample Assessments to Greenhouse Interview Plans

TestDome's Greenhouse integration embeds work-sample tests directly into your interview plan so candidates can take role-relevant assessments without leaving the ATS. Scores and detailed results are returned to each applicant's Greenhouse profile automatically, making skill data available alongside resumes, interview notes, and other hiring signals. This article explains what the integration does, which hiring teams benefit most, and the measurable advantages — from faster screening to higher fidelity hiring signals. It also covers practical setup steps, pricing mechanics, and common implementation questions.

What the TestDome + Greenhouse integration does

• Embed real-world tests in your pipeline Add TestDome assessments as an interview stage so candidates receive invites automatically from Greenhouse and submit work-sample responses in a single workflow.
• Automated scoring routed to Greenhouse Code, SQL, Excel and written responses are scored automatically and the results populate the candidate profile for recruiters and hiring managers to review.
• Consistent, role-specific evaluation Use pre-built or custom tests that simulate job tasks — the approach correlates closely with on-the-job performance.
• Pack-based pricing Purchase test Packs that cover a set number of candidate submissions; Packs don’t expire and unit cost drops as you buy more.

Integration specifics: TestDome connects via Greenhouse's interview plan APIs and/or partner configuration. Once configured, hiring teams add a TestDome stage to any job's interview plan. Invites are triggered from Greenhouse and include the correct test link and candidate context, minimizing manual steps. Results appear in Greenhouse under the same candidate record with summary scores and links to the full report. That means your ATS becomes a single pane of truth for resume data, interview feedback, and validated skill evidence.

Who should consider this integration

• High-volume technical hiring teams Engineering and data teams that need to pre-screen many applicants and want consistent, automated measurement of coding/problem-solving skills.
• Roles requiring task-specific skills Positions like SQL analysts, Excel-heavy finance roles, customer support requiring scenario responses, or QA engineers where sample tasks are predictive of performance.
• Teams that want ATS-centric workflows Organizations that insist on a single-vendor workflow inside Greenhouse to reduce tools switching and administrative overhead.
• Recruiting teams tracking hiring metrics Teams that need measurable screening data to build funnel conversion metrics and reduce time-to-hire.

TestDome vs. traditional screening methods

Automated scoring reduces subjectivity: code runs are evaluated against test cases, Excel/SQL questions have deterministic outputs, and scenario-based responses use structured rubrics. When these results are attached to a Greenhouse candidate profile, hiring managers can quickly filter and sort applicants by skill score or drill into the report for examples of candidate work.

Real-world test examples you can run through TestDome

• Coding tests Identify bugs, complete functions, or implement algorithms with inputs that validate outputs automatically.
• SQL queries Ask candidates to write queries against a sample dataset to assess data retrieval and aggregation skills.
• Excel/Spreadsheet tasks Require candidates to create charts, formulas, or pivot tables to demonstrate applied spreadsheet competence.
• Customer scenario role-plays Ask candidates to write how they would resolve a support case or de-escalate an irate customer, scored by rubric.

Pricing and buying: TestDome sells Packs that grant a specific number of candidate tests. Packs do not expire, allowing teams to buy ahead and scale usage over time. Per-candidate cost falls as Pack size increases, which is useful for forecasted hiring. Factor Pack size, expected volume, and the mix of assessment types when estimating budget impact.

Typical implementation steps and timeline

• Initial setup Register a TestDome account, obtain API credentials, and enable the Greenhouse integration via the partner setup page.
• Configure tests Select off-the-shelf tests or assemble custom ones; map tests to job templates in Greenhouse.
• Pilot and validation Run a pilot with a hiring manager cohort to confirm scoring, adjust cutoffs, and confirm candidate experience expectations.
• Scale-up Purchase the appropriate Pack(s), roll out across roles, and monitor metrics like pass rates, time-to-hire, and conversion by score.

Common questions about TestDome + Greenhouse

Privacy and compliance considerations: TestDome provides a privacy policy and integrates under Greenhouse's partner rules, so data flows are documented and can be reviewed for regulatory requirements. Because assessments store candidate responses, confirm retention policies and whether you need regional data handling adjustments for APAC, EMEA, or other jurisdictions.

Key measurable benefits of adding TestDome to Greenhouse

If your hiring process relies heavily on technical or task-based skills, integrating TestDome with Greenhouse is a practical way to operationalize work-sample testing at scale. The setup is straightforward, Packs offer flexible buying, and the automated results make it possible to build metrics-driven hiring funnels. Teams should pilot tests for the most common roles, then iterate on cutoffs and test selection to optimize pass rates and candidate throughput.
