SeekOut and Greenhouse

SeekOut integrates with your Greenhouse account, allowing you to export candidate profiles from SeekOut and turn them into Greenhouse candidate profiles, complete with contact information and work/education history. SeekOut candidate profiles can be sent to Greenhouse as simple prospects, or they can be attached to an existing job for immediate hire consideration.

This article covers how to set up your integration, as well as how to export candidate info from SeekOut to Greenhouse.

Setting up the Greenhouse Integration

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the developer permission "Can manage ALL organization’s API Credentials" enabled in your Greenhouse account. See the section in this Greenhouse article Configure User Setup Permissions in Greenhouse Recruiting for steps on how to set this up.

Your Greenhouse login and your SeekOut login must both use the same email address when setting up the integration.

Create your API Key in Greenhouse

Login to your Greenhouse dashboard and click the Configuration icon at the top right. Navigate to the Dev Center, then click API Credential Management.

On the next page, click the Create New API Key button. Select Partner as your key Type, and SeekOut as your Client Application.

Click Create, and your newly created API Key will appear on the API Credentials page. Click the Copy button to copy the key to your clipboard.

For detailed information on how to configure API keys in Greenhouse, see their documentation here.

Accessing Integrations

Click your initials at the top right of the SeekOut dashboard, then select Integrations.

Don't see the Integrations option in your menu? Contact your Customer Success Manager or support@seekout.io and ask to enable ATS integrations for your org.

Connecting the API

On the Integrations page, locate Greenhouse One-Way Export and click the Connect button.

Paste your API key into the Partner Key field and check the box if you want to export candidates to Greenhouse as prospects only. Click Save to complete your integration. When successful, Greenhouse will appear under the section My Organization's Integrations with the label "Connected." 

Removing the Integration

Click the horizontal three-dot button next to a connected integration to Edit or Remove the integration from your SeekOut account.

Exporting from SeekOut to Greenhouse

To export all candidates in a project to Greenhouse, go to your SeekOut project, click More… and choose Export All to Greenhouse.

Contact information such as email addresses and phone numbers will only appear in your export if you click Get Email for All and Get Phone for All before exporting.

Alternatively, you can export select candidates from SeekOut by clicking the box next to their profile, clicking More... and then selecting Export X to Greenhouse.
