Excellent Security Features

  • Required Scopes: Which specific data permissions does your integration need (e.g., harvest:job_posts:list, harvest:candidates:list)? See Harvest API documentation for available scopes.
  • Access Token: 1 hour (Used to make API calls). Refresh Token: 24 hours (Used to get new access tokens). Authorization Code: 1 minute (Must be exchanged quickly!)
  • When editing an API Credential, you will be able to manually rotate secrets. After rotation, old secrets will be available for up to 1 week. You can delete the old secret ahead of the scheduled deletion if desired.
  • Managing permissions using a Harvest API key allows you to permit or deny access to each Harvest endpoint individually, so you can have more control over what data a developer or third-party partner can access.
  • Harvest API includes GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE endpoints across: Activity Feed, Applications, Approvals, Candidates, Close Reasons, Custom Fields, Demographic Data, Departments, Education, EEOC, Email Templates, Job Openings, Job Posts - with individual endpoint permissions configurable.
  • We recommend granting each key only the exact access it requires. You may need to work with your internal development team or the integration to determine which permissions are needed.
  • Audit log offers a record of important events from the prior thirty days, providing insights to who accessed or edited information in Greenhouse Recruiting. Use audit log to empower your teams to detect and minimize the impact of incidents when they occur, scrutinize configuration edits, and ensure sensitive data is only accessed by the people who truly need it.
  • Audit log API requests are limited to 50 per 10 seconds, as specified in the returned X-RateLimit-Limit header. Paginated requests are limited to 3 per 30 seconds. Check the X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining headers to see how many more requests are permitted until throttling kicks in.
  • A webhook is a simple event-notification system. When an event occurs in Greenhouse, a payload of JSON data containing information about the event is sent via POST to a specified endpoint URL over HTTPS. Each delivery will include a Greenhouse-Event-ID header.
  • Short-lived access tokens (1 hour) with 24-hour refresh tokens

⚠️Security Gaps & Recommendations

  • No mfa enforcement
  • No ai attribution
  • No MFA enforcement for API access documented
  • No explicit AI training data opt-out mechanism
  • No AI-specific request tagging for audit trails
