If you’ve been in talent acquisition for more than five minutes, you know Greenhouse. It’s one of the most trusted hiring platforms in the world, built for structured hiring, clarity, and scale.
And at Certn, we’ve been proud partners with Greenhouse for years.
They’ve been an incredible partner to work with, aligned on what matters most: helping hiring teams move fast without sacrificing quality. Now, we’re taking that partnership even further.
Background checks: Embedded directly into Greenhouse
Certn now integrates directly with Greenhouse through CertnCentric to enhance your hiring process. This new Integration will streamline background checks and improve efficiency, ensuring you have the best tools for your hiring needs.
Here’s what that means in practice:
- When a candidate hits your trigger stage, the background check launches automatically
- Recruiters never leave Greenhouse
- Status updates flow back into the Activity Feed in real time
- Clear “Clear” or “Review” labels eliminate guesswork
- Reports are accessible instantly via secure links
Instead of toggling between platforms or manually managing steps, everything flows cleanly between Greenhouse and Certn.
Move the candidate. The check starts. That’s it.
The result? Faster time to hire. Fewer bottlenecks. A better candidate experience.
Why this matters
Greenhouse customers are serious about hiring.
Whether you’re a 75-person startup building your foundation or a 2,000-person enterprise optimizing complex workflows, momentum matters. The best candidates don’t sit around waiting for back-office processes to catch up.
If background checks slow you down, they’re part of the problem.
Certn keeps pace with structured hiring by:
- Automating stage-based triggers
- Delivering real-time visibility to recruiters and hiring managers
- Reducing administrative overhead
- Supporting global, compliant screening across all 195 countries
It’s efficient. It’s embedded in your workflow. And it’s built for hiring teams who move fast and don’t want to waste time platform switching
Built for hiring ops (and the people who support them)
Greenhouse customers expect integrations to work out of the box: reliably, securely, and without needing a dev sprint.
Certn’s API-driven integration means:
- No fragile webhook-only setup
- Versioned API infrastructure
- Reliable event handling
- Minimal maintenance
You won’t need to debug this integration. That’s the point.
Setup is fully self-serve inside CertnCentric. No professional services team. No long onboarding cycle. Changes to packages or trigger stages take minutes — not projects.
