Everything in one email.

  • The candidate's résumé file, attached
  • Name, email, phone, location and LinkedIn when the candidate gave them
  • The job title and answers to your screening questions
  • Candidate name and job title in the subject
  • Reply-To set to the candidate's email address

A candidate on the job.

  • A candidate on the job whose Maildrop address you used
  • The résumé and other attachments on the profile
  • Name, email, phone, mailing address, current title and company parsed from the résumé
  • A résumé matching an existing candidate's name and email is added to that profile

Know before you start.

  • Greenhouse does not support auto-forwarding to Maildrop, so each application is forwarded by hand
  • Our emails come from our own address, which Maildrop won't recognize, so don't use the Maildrop address as a job recipient
  • Résumés with an unusual layout or embedded images can fail to parse, and Greenhouse then asks you to add the candidate manually

Set up Greenhouse Maildrop

Post a sales job

Steps follow Greenhouse's Maildrop help page, checked November 12, 2026.

  1. Find the job's Maildrop address

    In Greenhouse, go to Add > Candidate and click Forward Resume via Email. The table at the bottom of that page lists every open job with its own Maildrop address.

  2. Use an address Greenhouse knows

    Maildrop must recognize the sender as an email on your Greenhouse user account. To forward from more than one address, add them under Account Settings > Personal Information.

  3. Send applications to that inbox

    In your employer dashboard, open the job's Application settings and put that address in Send applications to.

  4. Forward each application

    Forward the application email to the job's Maildrop address. The résumé stays attached and Greenhouse creates the candidate on that job.

  5. Check the confirmation

    Greenhouse emails you from no-reply@greenhouse.io to confirm the candidate was created, or to tell you to add them by hand.

Greenhouse questions

No. Greenhouse says Maildrop must recognize the sender's email as one linked to a Greenhouse user, and it does not support auto-forwarding from an email client. Applications arrive in your inbox and you forward each one.
