Before you connect
Questions about Greenhouse.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the Greenhouse MCP help my recruiting team?
It lets your team interact with your recruiting data using natural language. You can check candidate statuses, view activity feeds, and update applications directly from your chat client, which saves time on manual data entry.
Can I use the Greenhouse MCP to update candidate statuses?
Yes. You can ask your agent to update an application's status or details, and it will sync those changes directly back to your Greenhouse account.
Does the Greenhouse MCP support job board management?
It does. You can use it to list published jobs, see which offices they are in, and even submit new applications to your job boards via your agent.
Is the Greenhouse MCP good for tracking candidate history?
It's perfect for that. You can quickly pull a full activity feed for any candidate to see every interaction and status change they've had in your pipeline.
Can I use the Greenhouse MCP to audit my hiring logs?
Yes, you can retrieve audit log events to see who made specific changes in your Greenhouse account and when those actions occurred.
What is the difference between this and just using the Greenhouse website?
This Connector brings the data to you. Instead of navigating the Greenhouse UI, you stay in your chat workspace and get the specific information you need through a conversation.
Can I see the history of interactions with a specific candidate?
Yes, you can use the get_candidate_activity_feed capability with a candidate's ID to retrieve their full activity history, including notes and status changes.
How do I list all open positions on our job board?
Use the list_board_jobs capability providing your job board token. This will return all active job posts currently published.
Is it possible to update application details directly through the AI?
Yes, the update_application capability allows you to modify existing application fields by providing the application ID and the data payload.
What is the 'On-Behalf-Of' requirement?
Greenhouse requires write operations to be associated with a specific User ID for auditing. This ID is passed in the header to identify who performed the action.
Can I search for candidates by email?
Yes! Use the list_candidates capability and provide the email parameter to find a specific person's recruitment record and history.
How do I advance an application to the next stage?
The advance_application capability requires a valid application ID. It will automatically move the candidate to the next sequential stage defined in your job's workflow.
