How the Greenhouse job board integration works
Every company on Greenhouse already has a public job board. It lives at an address like boards.greenhouse.io/yourcompany or job-boards.greenhouse.io/yourcompany, and it is what your careers page shows. Greenhouse publishes that board through its Job Board API, which is open to read without a key. That is the whole trick: RemoteBoard reads the same public data your careers page does.
When you paste the board address, RemoteBoard pulls every live posting, checks each one for remote eligibility and drops anything hybrid or office based. What is left becomes a RemoteBoard listing with your title, description, location eligibility and a link back to the original Greenhouse posting. From then on the board is checked on a schedule, and changes in Greenhouse show up on RemoteBoard within the hour.
Nothing flows the other way. RemoteBoard never writes to Greenhouse, never sees candidates and never touches scorecards, offers or interview plans. If you disconnect the board, the listings come down and your Greenhouse account is exactly as it was.
Why recruiters connect Greenhouse instead of posting by hand
Most remote job boards were built around a form. You copy the job description, pick a category, pay for 30 days and repeat when the period ends. That works for one role. It breaks down for a talent team running ten openings across engineering, sales and support.
The usual failure is not the first post. It is everything after it. A role closes in Greenhouse on Tuesday, but the listing on the board keeps running until it expires, and candidates keep applying to a job you filled. A new role opens on Thursday, and nobody posts it until the following week because the person who owns the board account is out. Each board has its own login, its own renewal date and its own invoice.
The Greenhouse integration removes the copy step. Your board in Greenhouse is the list of record. RemoteBoard follows it, which means:
- a role you publish in Greenhouse is on RemoteBoard within the hour,
- a role you close disappears at the next sync,
- an edited description or title is picked up automatically,
- nobody on the team needs a RemoteBoard login just to keep listings current.
What gets synced from Greenhouse
RemoteBoard reads the fields Greenhouse publishes on the public board:
| Greenhouse field | How RemoteBoard uses it |
|---|---|
| Job title | Listing title, cleaned of internal codes |
| Content (job description) | Full description on the listing page |
| Location and offices | Remote check, eligible countries and UTC overlap |
| Pay range written in the description | Salary shown on the listing and used by the salary filter |
| First published date | Posted date shown to candidates |
| Job post URL | Destination of the Apply button |
Location text matters more than anything else here. RemoteBoard decides whether a role is fully remote and where a candidate may live from what you write in Greenhouse, such as "Remote, United States" or "Remote (US or Canada)". A role marked only with a city is treated as office based and skipped. If a remote role is missing from your preview, the fix is almost always clearer location text on the Greenhouse job post.
Applications stay in your Greenhouse pipeline
This is the part talent teams ask about first. The Apply button on a synced listing sends the candidate to your own Greenhouse posting. They answer your application questions, upload a resume on your form and land in your pipeline at the stage you already use for inbound applicants. Your custom questions, EEO and voluntary self-identification forms, and any knockout questions all work as they do today.
Because the application happens in Greenhouse, there is no inbox to watch on RemoteBoard and no resumes to forward. If you track sources, you can see RemoteBoard traffic in your analytics as referrals from remoteboard.com, and every RemoteBoard plan shows views and apply clicks per role.
Greenhouse's own job board integrations and where RemoteBoard fits
Greenhouse Recruiting already posts to some boards for you. Its help center describes free job posts on Indeed and LinkedIn Limited Listings, which you switch on per job, and notes that a location is still required even for remote roles. It also documents gaps: the ZipRecruiter integration does not accept remote posts, and some niche boards cannot be posted to directly from Greenhouse at all.
Those general boards are useful for volume, but remote candidates searching for fully remote work spend their time on remote-only boards. Those boards usually charge per post. Remote OK, We Work Remotely and Remotive all start at about $299 per 30-day listing, and none of them follow your Greenhouse board automatically, so each post is another manual step and another renewal date.
RemoteBoard sits next to Greenhouse's built-in boards rather than replacing them. Keep the Indeed and LinkedIn switches on, and connect RemoteBoard for the remote-only audience. If you are weighing it against the per-post boards, the We Work Remotely alternative and Remote OK alternative pages compare costs line by line.
What it costs compared with posting per role
The sync is included in every plan, so the only question is how many remote roles you keep open at once.
| Open remote roles at once | RemoteBoard plan, billed yearly | Yearly cost | Per-post boards at $299 for 12 roles a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 | Starter, $49 a month | $588 | $3,588 |
| Up to 10 | Growth, $149 a month | $1,788 | $3,588 and up |
| Up to 30 | Scale, $349 a month | $4,188 | $3,588 and up, plus renewals |
The per-post column assumes each of 12 roles runs a single 30-day period at $299. Roles that take longer than a month to fill renew at the full price, which is where per-post costs climb fastest. Monthly billing is $99, $299 and $699 if you would rather not commit for a year. Full details are on the pricing page.
If you connect a board with more remote roles than your plan covers, the sync lists roles in the order your Greenhouse board returns them, up to your limit, and picks up the rest as soon as a slot frees up or you move to a larger plan.
Who the Greenhouse integration is for
It fits best for US startups and scale-ups that hire remotely all year and already run recruiting in Greenhouse:
- Heads of talent and recruiting leads who want remote reach without owning another posting workflow.
- Recruiting coordinators who are tired of copying descriptions into board forms and chasing renewals.
- Founders at 20 to 300 person companies who post a handful of remote roles a quarter and want one predictable bill.
- Agencies and RPO teams running Greenhouse for a client, where the client's board is the source of truth.
If you hire one remote person a year, a single per-post listing may still be cheaper. If you hire remotely every month, a flat plan that follows Greenhouse is usually far less work and far less money.
Setting it up in five minutes
- Open your Greenhouse careers page and copy its address. It looks like boards.greenhouse.io/yourcompany, or job-boards.greenhouse.io/yourcompany on the newer board design. An embedded careers page also works if the address contains your board name.
- Paste it into the preview on post a remote job. You will see your remote roles as RemoteBoard listings before you pay.
- Create an employer account with your work email and pick a plan.
- Your roles go live within the hour. Mark up to 3 or 10 of them as featured on Growth or Scale.
If your board is already listed on RemoteBoard from public data, connecting it from an account on your company's email domain moves the existing listings under your account, so nothing is duplicated.
