What This Skill Does

The Greenhouse ATS skill for OpenClaw provides a robust interface for interacting with the Greenhouse Harvest API, enabling automated management of your recruitment lifecycle. It serves as a command-line bridge allowing agents to query candidates, update application statuses, manage job postings, and retrieve administrative data such as departments, offices, and interview stages. By leveraging this skill, users can automate repetitive talent acquisition tasks, ensuring that data flows seamlessly between recruitment workflows and the agent's logic. It simplifies complex API interactions into intuitive commands that support both raw JSON for machine parsing and human-readable formatting for reports.

Installation

To install this skill, use the OpenClaw management utility within your environment. Run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aiwithabidi/greenhouse

Ensure you have your Greenhouse Harvest API key ready. You must set this key in your environment variables as GREENHOUSE_API_KEY to allow the script to authenticate with the Harvest API successfully. Without this variable, the script will be unable to establish a connection to your Greenhouse account.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for HR operations, talent acquisition teams, and engineering managers who need to streamline hiring. Common use cases include:

• Candidate Sourcing & Management: Quickly adding candidates from external sources into the ATS pipeline.
• Status Automation: Advancing candidates to the next interview stage or rejecting applications based on interview results provided by other agents.
• Reporting: Fetching lists of active jobs, current scorecards, or office metrics to provide summaries of recruitment health.
• Operational Synchronization: Mapping internal company identifiers (like departments or offices) to ensure new candidates are assigned to the correct entities within Greenhouse.

Example Prompts

1. "Find all candidates who applied for the Software Engineer role and list their current application status."
2. "Create a new candidate profile for Jane Doe with email [email protected]."
3. "Advance the application for candidate ID 12345 to the next stage in the interview pipeline."

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limiting: Always be mindful of Greenhouse API rate limits when scripting high-volume operations.
• Output Handling: Use the --human flag when running commands interactively to view tables, but switch to default JSON output when chaining this skill's output into other automated workflows.
• Security: Ensure that your GREENHOUSE_API_KEY is kept in a secure vault rather than hardcoded in your scripts. The skill relies on standard environment variable retrieval for authentication.
