Use Template

This is a 'Workflow' template which means that it is a single standalone workflow.

Some workflow templates can be modified to work with other workflow templates - e.g. to convert a data sync between two services from uni-directional to bi-directional

Overview

Copy

When employees are marked as 'Hired' in Greenhouse it is only the beginning of the hiring process. There are often several jobs that still need to be done in order to finish setting up the onboarding process.

JIRA is a great tool for implementing checklists, in this case what needs to be done in order to finish the hiring process.

Use this template to automate sending the new hire tasks in the form of a JIRA checklist/ ticket, so that your respective IT teams can work through the list to complete employee setup.

The following connectors are used in this template.

Greenhouse Webhook setup

Copy

To create a Greenhouse trigger you will need the public URL of your respective workflow.

Head to the Web Hook dashboard within Greenhouse and add this to the relevant input field.

You will also need to create a "Secret" key and make sure the Webhook fires when a ‘Candidate has been hired’.
