Where the method still takes a lot of time
- Well-designed scorecards, filled in by hand. The criteria are clear, but scoring them means going back over your notes after every interview, often at the end of the day.
- Screening that comes before the method. Before the structured interview, resume screening and prescreening are still done case by case.
- Scores that are hard to check. When two interviewers disagree, it's rare to be able to go back to what the candidate actually said.
How the Greenhouse integration works
- You authorize the connection. During setup, a Greenhouse admin authorizes access from Delectus.
- Jobs and applications synced. Jobs, applications and resumes arrive in Delectus, read-only.
- Every step equipped. Explained screening, prescreening by the agents, a transcribed interview and a report by theme.
What Greenhouse does, what Delectus adds
The method stays yours; Delectus applies it to the repetitive steps.
| Step | In Greenhouse | With Delectus |
|---|---|---|
| Role criteria | Defined by the team | Reused for screening, prescreening and the interview |
| Resume screening | Review by recruiters | Score broken down by criterion, with its reasons |
| Prescreening | Organized by the team | SMS and voice agents, answers filed by criterion |
| Interview | Scorecard | Real-time transcript, report with quotes, recording |
Why connect Greenhouse to Delectus?
Greenhouse is a recruiting software known for its structured approach: criteria defined before interviews and an assessment organized around them. Teams that use it have often already done the methodology work. What still takes them time is applying it to every candidate, from the first screen to the write-up.
Delectus takes on those repetitive steps. Each job's criteria are used to read and rank resumes, run prescreening and prepare the interview kit. The recruiter keeps running the interview and making the decision.
Resume screening aligned with your criteria
In structured hiring, screening should follow the same logic as the interview. Delectus compares every synced resume with the job's criteria and gives a match score broken down criterion by criterion, with the parts of the resume that support it. You see why a candidate is at the top, and you can check it in seconds.
Because every resume is read against the same criteria, the shortlist no longer depends on the order applications came in or on who did the screening that day.
Prescreening that follows the same scorecard
Prescreening questions also come from the job. The SMS prescreening agent asks them after saying it is an AI and getting the candidate's consent, and the voice prescreening agent takes over by phone when messages go unanswered. The conversation can also take place on WhatsApp.
Answers are filed criterion by criterion in the candidate profile, with the full conversation history. Answers that raise questions, an availability outside the timeline or a contradictory answer, are flagged. Candidates who fit book an interview in your actual open slots.
The structured interview, transcribed and documented
The interview kit carries the role's questions and scoring criteria. During the video interview in Delectus, the transcript scrolls in real time and the tool suggests questions on criteria not yet covered. You stay focused on the candidate rather than on your note-taking.
At the end, the report presents the answers by theme and, for each assessment, quotes the passage of the interview it's based on. When two interviewers disagree, the discussion goes back to what the candidate said, and the recording can be replayed. For a first round, Alicia, the AI interviewer, can run the interview with the same kit.
How do you bring your Greenhouse criteria into Delectus?
A role's criteria live in its description and in what the team considers essential. In Delectus, they go into the job brief, which you can adjust: expected skills, knockout criteria, prescreening questions. That brief then drives resume ranking, the agents' questions and the interview kit.
The simplest approach is to start with a role whose scorecard is already well tested. You compare Delectus's first rankings with your recruiters' judgment, adjust if needed, then extend the approach to other roles. The scorecards already entered in Greenhouse stay where they are.
Which roles benefit most from the Greenhouse integration?
Roles that open regularly, where several recruiters and hiring managers assess candidates on the same criteria, benefit most. High-volume roles too, because prescreening by the agents saves days of calls. For a hard-to-fill role, the value lies elsewhere: finding similar backgrounds in the database and documenting every interview so the decision is made on facts.
What the Greenhouse integration leaves intact
The sync is read-only. Delectus changes neither the jobs, nor the applications, nor the scorecards in Greenhouse, which remains your system of record. The synced data is hosted in the European Union, is not used to train any model and follows your retention periods.
