Steps
Ensure your Harvest API key has the 'Can see EEOC data' permission enabled in Greenhouse's API credential configuration.
GET https://harvest.greenhouse.io/v1/demographics/question_sets to retrieve all configured demographic question sets and their questions; each question has an id and display order.
GET https://harvest.greenhouse.io/v1/demographics/answers to retrieve demographic answers at scale; filter by updated_after to fetch only recently changed answers for incremental syncs.
Join answers to applications and jobs: each answer object contains an application_id; join against GET /v1/applications/:id to get job_id and stage information for cohort analysis.
Aggregate answers by question and answer_option for EEO-1 category counts; map answer_option values to the EEO-1 race/ethnicity and gender categories required by EEOC reporting.
Store and process data in compliance with applicable privacy laws; EEOC data must be collected on a voluntary and anonymous basis and stored separately from core candidate records where required.
Known gotchas
EEOC data access is gated behind a specific API key permission that is not enabled by default; generating a new API key without explicitly enabling EEOC access will result in 403 responses on demographic endpoints.
Demographic answers are self-reported and voluntary; a missing answer means the candidate declined to answer, not that the field is blank — handle null answers explicitly in your aggregation logic.
Sharing EEOC data outside of compliant, need-to-know contexts may violate EEOC regulations and internal privacy policies; ensure your reporting pipeline enforces access controls.
