Integrating with Greenhouse - Advanced Interview

Arielle Mohammed
  • Updated

Greenhouse Advanced Interview integration with Codility allows you to seamlessly create interview links directly within Greenhouse and receive detailed insights, including scores, task summaries that provide a score for each task and the used language, interviewer notes and skills evaluations.

Codility Interviews support two integration paths with Greenhouse:

  • Codility Interview
    • Allows you to configure the Codelive stage in your job and create one interview link per stage.
    • Interviews are created without predefined content.
    • No report is sent back to Greenhouse when the interview is finished.
    • Requires the Greenhouse Screen integration to be enabled.
  • Codility Advanced Interview
    • Not tied to a specific stage, you can create multiple interview links and add them to any stage.
    • Supports interview template selection, enabling interviews with predefined content.
    • When the interview is finished, a report is automatically sent to Greenhouse.
    • Can be enabled independently of the Screen integration.

Note: The new Advanced Interview integration can be used when the old Interview integration is enabled. To migrate, enable the Advanced Interview integration and then disable the old one in the Codility platform. 

When integrated, you can:

  • Create Codility interviews directly from Greenhouse at any stage of your hiring process.
  • Select from your interview templates that you can create through the Codility platform tailored for each role that you hire for.
  • Provide interviewers and candidates with a single, seamless link to join the session.
  • Have interview reports, including task summaries, interviewer notes, skills evaluations and scores, automatically attached to the Greenhouse candidate profile.
  • Review collaborative feedback from multiple interviewers in one place to support faster, evidence-based hiring decisions.
