Greenhouse

The Greenhouse agent connector is a Python package that equips AI agents to interact with Greenhouse through strongly typed, well-documented tools. It's ready to use directly in your Python app, in an agent framework, or exposed through an MCP.

Greenhouse is an applicant tracking system (ATS) that helps companies manage their hiring process. This connector provides access to candidates, applications, jobs, offers, users, departments, offices, job posts, sources, and scheduled interviews for recruiting analytics and talent acquisition insights.

Example prompts

The Greenhouse connector is optimized to handle prompts like these.

  • List all open jobs
  • Show me upcoming interviews this week
  • Show me recent job offers
  • List recent applications
  • Show me candidates from {company} who applied last month
  • What are the top 5 sources for our job applications this quarter?
  • Analyze the interview schedules for our engineering candidates this week
  • Compare the number of applications across different offices
  • Identify candidates who have multiple applications in our system
  • Summarize the candidate pipeline for our latest job posting
  • Find the most active departments in recruiting this month

Unsupported prompts

The Greenhouse connector isn't currently able to handle prompts like these.

  • Create a new job posting for the marketing team
  • Schedule an interview for {candidate}
  • Update the status of {candidate}'s application
  • Delete a candidate profile
  • Send an offer letter to {candidate}
  • Edit the details of a job description

SDK installation

uv pip install airbyte-agent-sdk

SDK usage

Connectors can run in hosted or open source mode.

Hosted

In hosted mode, API credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Agents. You provide your Airbyte credentials instead. If your Airbyte client can access multiple organizations, also set organization_id.

This example assumes you've already authenticated your connector with Airbyte. See Authentication to learn more about authenticating. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

The connect() factory returns a fully typed GreenhouseConnector and reads AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID / AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET from the environment:

Pydantic AI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from airbyte_agent_sdk import connect
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.greenhouse import GreenhouseConnector

connector = connect("greenhouse", workspace_name="<your_workspace_name>")

agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o")

@agent.tool_plain
@GreenhouseConnector.tool_utils
async def greenhouse_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

Or pass credentials explicitly (equivalent, useful when you're not loading them from the environment):

Pydantic AI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.greenhouse import GreenhouseConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.types import AirbyteAuthConfig

connector = GreenhouseConnector(
auth_config=AirbyteAuthConfig(
workspace_name="<your_workspace_name>",
organization_id="<your_organization_id>", # Optional for multi-org clients
airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
)
)

agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o")

@agent.tool_plain
@GreenhouseConnector.tool_utils
async def greenhouse_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

Open source

In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.

Pydantic AI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.greenhouse import GreenhouseConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.greenhouse.models import GreenhouseAuthConfig

connector = GreenhouseConnector(
auth_config=GreenhouseAuthConfig(
api_key="<Your Greenhouse Harvest API Key from the Dev Center>"
)
)

agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o")

@agent.tool_plain
@GreenhouseConnector.tool_utils
async def greenhouse_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

Authentication

For all authentication options, see the connector's authentication documentation.
