Common questions
How is this different from Greenhouse's job board embed?
Greenhouse's embed is a quick way to show your board on a page: the board and job pages load in a frame served by Greenhouse. The plugin copies each job into WordPress instead, so every job gets its own page on your domain at yoursite.com/jobs/, with search and filters, job posting markup and an optional on-site application form.
Which Greenhouse plans does it work with?
Any plan with a Greenhouse job board: that is where jobs are imported from. On-site applications also need a Job Board API key, which a Greenhouse user allowed to manage API credentials can create.
Does it slow my site down?
No. Jobs are copied into WordPress on a schedule, so visitors read them from your own database instead of waiting on Greenhouse.
Do I need an API key, a Harvest key or partner approval?
Listing jobs needs only your board token, because Greenhouse's job board feed is public. On-site application forms also need a Job Board API key. You never need a Harvest key or Greenhouse partner approval.
