Hiring team sync
The integration with Greenhouse supports a feature called hiring sync, which ensures that team members with access to the job position in Greenhouse also get the relevant permissions to view candidate assessment results in Alva.
This is done automatically, as long as you have created a job in Greenhouse with the Alva stage in it.
The users that are synced are those who are listed as recruiters, hiring managers, coordinators or sources to the job – as shown below.
If the relevant member of the hiring team does not already have an Alva account, they will be sent an invitation to create one via their email.
