Talent Compass: Set Up Custom Greenhouse Demographic Data Surveys for Dashboards & Pipeline Analytics

  • Updated

Table of contents:

 

Overview

This article details the process for setting up Greenhouse Self-ID Forms so that demographic data flows into Gem’s Talent Compass reports (Dashboards & Pipeline Analytics). This results in greater accuracy when assessing the diversity, equity, and inclusion of your hiring pipeline.

When this is configured:

  1. Gem will initially use the data available for the candidates who have completed the Greenhouse Self-ID form.

  2. For anyone in your pipeline who did not complete the form, Gem will continues to use it's automated gender and race/ethnicity prediction algorithm.

 

Setup Instructions

Step 1 of 2: Update your team's Greenhouse Harvest API key.

This will allow Gem to access candidate responses to self-reported demographic data in your custom forms and incorporate those into Gem reports.

  1. Follow the steps outlined in this Greenhouse article under "Update an Existing Harvest API Key" to add all permissions for "Demographic Data".
