Scheduled

In order to address a recently-exposed vulnerability (CVE-2015-7547) in certain pieces of DNS-related software, we will be taking down certain parts of the Greenhouse Platform this Sunday, March 6 beginning at 8:00 AM EST, allowing our hosting provider to apply a patch to address the vulnerability. The conservative estimate of total downtime is 15 minutes and will occur during our lowest-traffic period.

During this brief period of downtime, the following services will be affected:
Greenhouse Recruiting - will be unavailable
Greenhouse API - will be available for reads but unavailable for writes

The following services will not be affected and will remain available:
Greenhouse Job Boards
Greenhouse Onboarding
Greenhouse Analytics
