Application limit rules

Set application limit rules

Striking the right balance between attracting talent and managing recruiter bandwidth is a common challenge in hiring. High volumes of repeat applications can overwhelm teams and clog up workflows, making it tough to focus on candidates who are genuinely interested and qualified. By setting parameters – such as limiting how often someone can apply or blocking previously rejected candidates from reapplying for a specified period – hiring teams can quickly filter applications to keep attention on where it matters most.

Greenhouse Recruiting’s application limit rules offer a way to streamline this process. For instance, a growing sales division suffering from a glut of duplicate applications could activate a rule to ensure only unique candidates matching the criteria they are looking for are reviewed, reducing manual sorting and accelerating decision-making.
