Configuration Guide
Obtaining the API Key from HackerRank
Important: When a new recruiter is added to the Greenhouse account, they need the API Key to set up the integration. So it is crucial to Store the API Key somewhere so that you can use it whenever it is necessary.
- Log in to HackerRank for Work using the Company Admin user account.
- On the home page, click the arrow next to the user icon on the top right corner of the page and select Settings.
- Go to ATS Integration and click on the Configure button under the Greenhouse option.
- On the integration setup page, click on the Generate API token button
- The unique API Key will be displayed in the next popup. Copy this key and close the pop-up.
- This key needs to be added to the Greenhouse account to establish the integration.
- Make sure to store the API key safely, as once the popup is closed, it will not be possible to retrieve the key again. When a new user is added to the Greenhouse account, they would need this key to set up the integration. Also, when the admin changes the API Key or generates a new one from HackerRank, all current users will need to update their keys. Hence, admins need to store the key and share it with all current users for them to update in Greenhouse.
Adding the API Key in Greenhouse
- Log in to Greenhouse, and click on the Integrations from the three-dot menu.
- Search and click on the Hackerrank integration option.
- Click on the Connect option, and add the API key copied obtained from the previous section.
