Greenhouse / Reimbi integration setup

The Reimbi-Greenhouse integration allows candidate data to be sent from Greenhouse to Reimbi resulting in the candidate record being created in Reimbi. Upon receiving the required information via the integration Reimbi will send the candidate an email with Reimbi login instructions so that their expense report can be submitted and reimbursed.

To configure the Reimbi-Greenhouse integration follow the steps below.

Configure User Setup Permissions in Greenhouse Recruiting

In order to enable the Greenhouse/Reimbi integration, you will need the developer permission Can manage ALL organization’s API Credentials.

If you do not have this permission, contact your company’s Greenhouse admin user with Site Admin level permissions and the additional user-specific permission Can edit another user's advanced permissions to apply the API credential management permission to your account. Have the user with Site Admin level permissions edit your user account's permissions by navigating to the Configure icon gh-configure > Users > Your Name
