JobCannon
Greenhouse Assessment PartnerLiveMid-market

Send hire-eligible assessments to candidates from Greenhouse — without leaving the job stage.

JobCannon is built against the Greenhouse Assessment Partner API: list_tests, send_test, test_status, response_error. Sub-1s scoring, sandbox + production, 49 hire-relevant tests.

In brief

Greenhouse customers add JobCannon as an Assessment Partner from their integration settings. Once configured at a job stage, the recruiter clicks "Send Assessment" on a candidate — Greenhouse calls JobCannon's send_test endpoint, the candidate receives a co-branded email, completes the assessment, and the result envelope is returned to Greenhouse via the test_status endpoint and the partner-supplied callback URL. The integration uses Basic Auth credentials provisioned per organisation, supports sandbox testing without polluting the hire pipeline, and works with any of the 49 hire-eligible tests in the JobCannon library (Big Five, DISC, EQ, integrity, cognitive ability, conflict styles, etc.). Test scores are normalised through the standardised result envelope so your Greenhouse scorecard renders the same shape regardless of which test ran.

What the Greenhouse integration enables

Native Greenhouse pipeline integration

Add JobCannon as an Assessment Partner in Greenhouse. Pick a test, drop it on a job stage, send to candidates with one click. No copy-paste, no manual import of results.

49 hire-eligible assessments

Big Five, DISC, EQ, integrity, cognitive ability, conflict styles, values assessment, leadership style, work style, plus 40 more. Clinical and esoteric tests excluded from the B2B catalog by design.

Sandbox + production

Sandbox credentials let your team run a full send → complete → score cycle on dummy candidates before going live. Switching to production is a credential swap, not a code change.

Standardised result envelope

Every test returns dimensions[].score — each dimension with its own named metric — so your Greenhouse scorecard logic is uniform across the 49-test catalog. No per-test schema mapping, and no single overall number pretending the instruments are interchangeable.

How it works

From Greenhouse admin to first scored candidate.

  1. 1

    Add JobCannon as an Assessment Partner in Greenhouse

    Greenhouse admin → Configure → Dev Centre → Integrations → Assessment Partners. JobCannon issues your organisation Basic Auth credentials (sandbox first, then production).

  2. 2

    Pick assessments + assign to job stages

    Choose from 49 hire-eligible tests (Big Five, DISC, EQ, integrity, etc.). Drop each onto the appropriate stage in the Greenhouse pipeline.

  3. 3

    Recruiter sends to candidates

    On the candidate page, recruiter clicks "Send Assessment". Greenhouse calls JobCannon, JobCannon emails the candidate (co-branded with your org name).

  4. 4

    Candidate completes (sub-1s scoring)

    Candidate takes the assessment in their browser; scoring is computed in under a second. JobCannon stores the standardised result envelope.

  5. 5

    Result returned to Greenhouse

    JobCannon PATCHes the partner callback URL Greenhouse supplied to mark the assessment complete, retrying with backoff if it fails. The result is the standardised envelope: the outcome in words and every dimension with its own named metric — no single overall number.

Why teams pick JobCannon for Greenhouse

  • 49 hire-relevant assessments — Big Five, DISC, EQ, IQ, integrity, cognitive ability, conflict styles — behind one result envelope, not vendor-curated role quizzes.
  • Multi-tenant org isolation by design — each customer's candidates are isolated at the row level (RLS), so the same adapter serves Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever and Workable from one codebase.
  • Standardised result envelope — every assessment returns the same shape (dimensions[].score) so your ATS can rank candidates without provider-specific glue.
  • Sandbox on the same credentials — pass `sandbox: true` on any invite (or use an ATS credential flagged `is_sandbox`) to run a full send → complete → score cycle that sends no email, counts toward no quota, and never appears in a production view.
  • EU-resident data + GDPR-ready DPA — assessments and PII stay on EU Supabase, and erasure runs against a per-table registry with a verification pass that reports any row it could not remove.

49 hire-eligible assessments, multi-tenant org isolation, sandbox mode on every API key, scoring returned the moment the candidate finishes, REST + result callback delivery. The assessment API is part of the Scale tier: $199/mo flat, 200 assessments included — every instrument you assign spends one, so an invite carrying three tests spends three. Past the cap sending does not stop: assessments above the allowance are $2 each, recorded and invoiced separately after the period. Sandbox invitations send no email and do not count toward the included volume. Lower tiers include assessments but not API access.

Frequently asked

Is JobCannon listed in the Greenhouse Partner Directory?+

JobCannon completed the Assessment Partner application in 2026-05; directory listing follows Greenhouse's technical review of our endpoints (typically 2-4 weeks after submission). Customers can be onboarded immediately via direct credential provisioning while the listing is in review.

Which assessments can I send from Greenhouse?+

The 49 hire-eligible assessments in JobCannon's B2B catalog: Big Five, DISC, EQ, IQ-style cognitive ability, integrity, conflict styles, leadership style, work style, values, communication style, and 39 more. Clinical screeners (depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism) and esoteric tests (natal chart, moon phase, spirit animal) are excluded from the B2B catalog because they create EEOC and ADA exposure.

How does result delivery work?+

When a candidate completes an assessment, JobCannon scores it, stores the standardised result envelope and PATCHes the callback_url Greenhouse provided on send_test to mark the session complete. If the PATCH fails, JobCannon retries with exponential backoff (10min → 30min → 2h → 6h, max 5 attempts) and alerts our team. The result itself — the outcome in words, every dimension with its own named metric, the narrative, and a permalink to the full report — is the envelope, readable in your JobCannon org dashboard and over the Assessment API. There is deliberately no single 0-100 number: see "Why is there no overall score?" below.

Why is there no overall score?+

Because none of these instruments has one. We used to send the candidate's highest dimension as "the score", and it was misleading in the way that matters: a maximum names a different trait for every candidate, so a 60 and a 55 on two scorecards are not two readings of the same quantity. On a real Big Five result the highest raw percentage turned out to be the candidate's 29th percentile against published norms — below average, and third of their five traits once every trait was put on the same ruler. What we send instead is the result in words (partner_headline), every dimension with its own named metric in envelope.dimensions[], and a link to the full profile. If your scorecard needs a single figure, compute it from the dimensions that matter for the role and name the metric yourself.

Can I run a sandbox test before going live?+

Yes. Sandbox credentials are provisioned automatically and are clearly tagged is_sandbox=true. Sessions created with sandbox credentials never count toward billing and are visible only in sandbox-mode admin views. The full lifecycle — send_test → email → candidate completes → result returned to Greenhouse — runs end-to-end without touching production data.

What about EEOC compliance and adverse impact?+

JobCannon ships an Integrity scale for B2B use. Our hire-eligible catalog excludes clinical and esoteric tests by design. We provide adverse-impact reporting (4/5ths rule by demographic group). Reliability from our own sample is published at jobcannon.io/research/reliability, with a full technical manual for Big Five — not every test in the catalog has published validity documentation, so check that page before relying on a specific assessment in a selection decision. The DPA template is shipped with the partner contract.

How is data stored and retained?+

Candidate PII and assessment data are stored on EU-resident Supabase (GDPR-aligned). Data is never used for model training. There is no automatic age-based purge — erasure happens on request, runs against a per-table registry, and re-counts every table afterwards so an incomplete delete is reported rather than assumed. GDPR requests (access, rectification, erasure, portability) go to the address on our contact page.
