A set of scripts that add features to the Greenhouse UI

Welcome to Canonical's Greenhouse Userscripts

What's this project for

This project contains a set of handful Userscripts (file that ends with .user.js), that helps to do some actions on Greenhouse more quickly (like shortcuts).

Here is the list of the available Userscripts:

• Greenhouse Application Review: Add quick rejection buttons to the application review page, to perform rejection with one button click
• Greenhouse written interviews in a new tab: Open written interviews in a new tab instead of downloading "File1.pdf" files
• Greenhouse Application Review Helper: Adds additional icons to suggest the quality of the answer for custom application questions
• Talent Interview Field Reminder: Create a reminder to update application custom fields after moving candidates to the Talent Interview stage

greenhouse-browser-scripts's Issues

Tampermonkey scripts for quick rejections in GH still failing

When I click on the quick rejection button in GH in application reviews (eg. button "Lacking skills"), I get an error message.

Past issue linked to this one

Tool seems to send 2 messages at once

Here is the email from the candidate and here is the link to the candidate: https://canonical.greenhouse.io/people/215458119?application_id=235658281#activity_feed

update button's screenshot on instructions

Degree checker categorizes "second" incorrectly

Blanket checking for the word "second" in the degree question gives incorrect categorization. Perhaps this word shouldn't be a hard filter.
For example, an answer like this would get a negative vote:
"I was top of my class in first and second year..."

Hiring - Tampermonkey script Quick reject button on application review

Add Duplicate option to the reject options

We often have people reapply after been rejected and so I set them to Duplicated.

Vanilla styles are leaking into the Greenhouse view

You can see that p now have max-width which comes from Vanilla. We should try and namespace the Vanilla components so styling is limited to them.

Missing data in the application context

Reported by @marinacastejon

I found an issue with tampermonkey in GH, when I press on the lacking skills button I get this error popup

Try use the UI for quick reject

At the moment if you quick reject we do not effort the global review counts. Which leads to incorrect summary numbers. I think as a follow up we should test using the UI entirely instead of the API but making the modal invisible when interacting with it. This should fix the entire process but there might be dragons.

[Firefox] `application-review-helper.user.js` consumes 100% of CPU

application-review-helper.user.js causes burning CPU cycles as 100%, and gradually consumes GBs of memory with one tab.

I found this after switching the browser to do the review from Chromium to Firefox, and it doesn't happen in Chromium.

It looks like the DOMSubtreeModified event is continuously fired.

How to reproduce:

1. create a new profile with firefox -P
2. install tampermonkey and the script
3. open the application review page

written interview in new tab gives error when the attachment is .docx

When the candidate uploads a .docx file instead of a .pdf file, written interview in new tab gives the error below.

To see the file, you either have to disable the Tampermonkey script or copy the file link and manually open in new tab.

Browser script freezes post merging duplicate candidate

Preserve formatting of application answers

I'd like to update the application review page to preserve line breaks in the answers. I find myself sometimes editing a <p> to <pre> just to make long, structured answers as readable as the candidate intended.

I'm not sure how to target these, it looks like .elephant > p might work?

Application review buttons collapse the details box

Hey! Love the application review buttons. One minor annoyance: each time I use a button, the next application has the "Custom application questions" section collapsed, so I have to click "see more" on every application.

This doesn't seem to happen using the GH native controls

On rejection success sometimes the same application is shown (as if it's not rejected)

The reload of the notification resets the application count

Can show an example when you want to work on it.
