Use cases

Greenhouse + Tray

Greenhouse is where candidates, applications, interviews, offers, and hiring stages are managed across the recruiting lifecycle. But the actions tied to hiring decisions often depend on work happening in other systems.

Tray extends Greenhouse across your stack, connecting it to HRIS, identity, ITSM, payroll, finance, and any other system you rely on. Changes to candidates, jobs, interview stages, or offer statuses can trigger orchestrated workflows, governed automations, and agents that take action across tools, while keeping Greenhouse as the system of record for hiring.
