Greenhouse ATS integration with Workday®

Written by PEC | Nov 11, 2015 11:18:00 PM

Greenhouse is the most flexible application tracking system designed to improve your overall recruiting process and Workday is the leading provider of cloud based Human capital solutions for enterprises globally. Both these applications are being used by enterprises to satisfy their hiring and recruiting needs. Building integrations between these applications would make transfer of data easy and also enhance your new hire overall experience from recruitment and onboarding.

Let's review on few things important when integrating Greenhouse ATS with workday.

  1. Greenhouse uses http post call to send the data.
  2. Greenhouse uses webhook* CMS and posts the data to a URL with occurrence of an event.
  3. Need to make sure we configure webhook url using your greenhouse developer account. Provide webhook name, event to deliver the payload and end point url.
  4. Configure listener service in your workday studio that can listen to greenhouse http request.
  5. Using workday cloud explorer, specify the launch url later, this is nothing but our endpoint url

How this works:

Greenhouse webhook is configured in a way that whenever a hire event occurs in greenhouse, webhook will deliver the respective payload to the URL we specify. Once the payload is delivered, the listener service would automatically trigger the integration to load the payload and complete the integration. Store the payload to a variable using document accessor and then use the variable to continue with your integration.

*Webhook is a CMS used by Greenhouse and it uses a customized url that can be configured to send and receive data.

Consistent and seamless integration between your Greenhouse ATS and workday leads to maximum ROI for both the platforms and also enhances user experience of your user along with overall reduction in the maintenance burden for your administrators.
