Submit job applications on Greenhouse (job-boards.greenhouse.io). Handles the full flow:
fill text fields, set React Select dropdowns, select phone country, upload resume, enter
email verification code, and submit. Use when: applying to a job on Greenhouse, filling out
a Greenhouse application form, submitting a resume to a company that uses Greenhouse ATS.
Greenhouse Application Skill
Fill and submit Greenhouse job application forms via browser automation.
Prerequisites
Browser tool available (OpenClaw browser or Chrome extension)
Resume PDF accessible on the filesystem
Gmail or email access to retrieve verification codes
User-provided: name, email, phone, resume path, answers to custom questionsWorkflow
Phase 1: Open the Job Page
Navigate to the Greenhouse job URL.
Phase 2: Fill All Text Fields via JS Evaluate
Critical: Do NOT use type on individual fields. Use a single evaluate call with native setters.
Phase 3: Phone Country Dropdown
The phone country selector is an intl-tel-input widget. It hijacks focus from other dropdowns.
Phase 4: React Select Dropdowns
Use Playwright click, type, press Enter on the combobox ref.
Phase 5: Resume Upload
Use the browser upload tool with the Attach button ref.
Phase 6: Audit Before Submit
Take a snapshot and verify EVERY field.
Phase 7: Submit & Verification Code
The code input is 8 individual inputs with IDs security-input-0 through security-input-7.
DO NOT use Playwright type on snapshot refs for code boxes β use JS evaluate instead.
Failure Modes & Recovery
Characters in wrong fields: Use JS getElementById instead of snapshot refs
Country dropdown stealing focus: Click document.body first to blur
Dropdown shows Select after setting: Use click-type-Enter pattern
Submit button stays disabled: Ensure input+change events fire with bubbles:true
Code expired: Re-submit to get fresh codeNotes
Voluntary EEO fields are optional
The Why Company textarea is the highest-value field
Phone auto-formats after country selection
Greenhouse may throttle repeat submissions
