Exceptional Embeddables: Greenhouse
One of the best methods of recruiting for your growing organization is to leverage people's existing networks. The Greenhouse embed lets you post job boards directly in your digital workplace, so you can draw on the expertise and connections of your members. Placing it on a Page in your HR area will let you surround it with associated links for referral policies, information about benefits, and frequently asked questions.
Implementation
First, you'll need to retrieve the relevant embed codes from your Greenhouse instance. Greenhouse only permits embedding for public job boards, but you can access the embed codes through the following steps:
- Log in to your Greenhouse.io account
- Click Configure->Job Boards
- Select the Developer Settings for the desired job board.
- Copy the HTML code and the javascript code.
With that copied, the embed can be placed in any HTML Content widget or article in Igloo. We recommend using an HTML Content widget, to keep it on a single Page or Space. To add the code:
- Navigate to the Page or Space where you want to embed Greenhouse.
- Access the Advanced option through the Action Button.
- Paste the javascript section into the Javascript Code area of the Advanced tab.
- Select the Edit option from the Action Button.
- Add an HTML Content widget to the page.
- Edit the widget.
- Access the code view of the widget.
- Paste in the HTML code from the Greenhouse embed.
- Add a . between the opening and closing <div> segments. The editor will remove any <div> without content as part of its cleanup.
- Save the widget.
- Publish the page.
The job board should populate in an iframe when the page loads, and will reflect any changes made to it directly in your digital workplace.
Engagement
Use your Greenhouse job board to ensure that members have access to the latest open positions, and can move seamlessly between the details of those openings and your digital workplace. Placing it in context on a Page lets you use all the resources of your Igloo to support it, like onboarding news, policies, and ensures that your HR experts are on hand to answer any questions, without interrupting existing workflows by sending people to another site.
When implemented, the Greenhouse embed can do more than drive engagement, it can drive growth.
