Some key features include: Applicant Scorecard, Interview Kits and Robust Analytics.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/product-logos/IA/7k/G63RWTC2TM51.jpegGreenhouse Software Inc.Great ATS software that will help you streamline your recruiting practices2018-11-08T21:45:07.334ZGreenhouse is currently being used across my organization by our U.S. based team to help us fill positions in RD, CS, Deployment and Analytics. We are a start up com[any that is growing rapidly and do not have a department solely dedicated to recruiting but as we grow, we found the need to be more organized and have a better process for recruiting and hiring. Greenhouse has helped us be more organized, keep better track of applicants and share interview feedback amongst members of our organization.,This is a great collaboration tool. Makes it very easy for my manager to assign an interview to me and provide me with the interview kit that I need, share the candidate's resume and it is also very simple for me to submit feedback after the interview has taken place. I can also tag a coworker in my notes which is very useful for us because we do group interviews and this way I can simply tag my fellow interviewer on the notes to let our manager know that we are both in agreement regarding the candidate's feedback.
I love the Dashboard feature, has all of my upcoming interviews in one place. I can also refer someone for any open positions right there by clicking on add referral.
I can connect a job posting to my LinkedInn or create a link I can send to a possible applicant directly. Makes it easy to stay Organized and share any open positions with my connections on social media.,Once I submitted a Scorecard for a candidate after an interview, I had a hard time finding that scorecard again in order to make an edit. I would like to have an option to view scorecard written by me on my dashboard.
I wish the software's setup provided more of a structure to help small companies that may not have a fully cooked HR department yet with guidance and guidelines on how to conduct a thorough candidate review and a bias free interview. There are other HR/recruiting software out there that helps its customers by providing best practices in performance reviews and recruiting that are reflected in the tools design and functionality.
Great product but minimal support past sales and onboarding and the high cost can be a hard sell for small companies.,9,Our interview process is more structure and we can keep better track of applicants and where they are in the hiring process.
We are more confident in our recruiting decisions.
We are filling positions much faster than before.,BambooHR,JIRA Software, Workplace by Facebook, BlueJeans, Skype for Business (formerly Lync), G Suite, WrikePaula X. SmithGreat for Managing and Tracking Employee Referrals2018-11-07T22:07:50.133ZWe use Greenhouse to manage and track employee referrals. I've used it to refer several colleagues to open positions. We tie the software to our referral bonus program.,It simplifies and organizes the referral process. I don't have to email HR to refer employees anymore.
I can track where referrals are in the interview process very easily, so I don't have to ask anyone about the status of a referral (which can sometimes be awkward if a friend isn't moving forward for whatever reason).
It's a great way to organize pre-interview tests (like writing or skills tests) and we can access and grade documents easily.,There could be better functionality for explaining why referrals didn't get through. For example, a potential employee that chose not to take the job would be marked as "rejected" even if that wasn't the case.,9,I work at a fast-growing PR agency and we are always hiring for positions. It's often difficult to find good candidates for our niche field, and employee referrals are often the best way to get good candidates that fit within our culture. This makes it much easier to refer employees, especially when there are so many open positions.,TrelloTanner WaltersGreenhouse is the best ATS!2018-09-27T20:32:45.038ZWe use Greenhouse as our Applicant Tracking System ( ATS) in our Talent Acquisition Department. Greenhouse helps with the overall recruiting process. It does help with onboarding but we don't use that particular function for our needs. The main business problem Greenhouse addresses is helping keep the interview process organized from start to finish. It is a one stop system where you can do the following:
Job Postings: easily post jobs to your career site with one clickCollect candidate feedback/Evaluation forms in a timely manner with auto generated emailsGenerate customized reports of candidates that can be exported to google docs or excelTrack candidates in various interview stagesAbility to create a specialized interview plan for various jobsGreenhouse has a number of integrations with many other companies so it really helps streamline certain processes. I use Linkedin Talent and Entelo to source candidates. There is an integration of these platforms with Greenhouse so I'm easily able to import candidate profiles/data with one click into Greenhouse! It really helps make my life easier and I'm able to spend more time sourcing vs manually uploading and entering info.,Interview scheduling. Greenhouse makes it easy for recruiting coordinators to schedule interviews for candidates. Greenhouse integrates with your google calendar and has an integration even with outlook calendar. When scheduling, you can see in Greenhouse itself when an interviewer is available or not. Therefore, you do not need to go back and forth from Google calendar and then greenhouse. With the "schedule all" feature, you are also able to schedule multiple interviews. This really helps in scheduling interviews fast and in a timely manner.
Reporting. Greenhouse lets you create customized reports. I've created reports ranging from sources of candidate hire, employee referrals, time to fill for certain positions. There's also a set of created reports that Greenhouse provides. The best part of Greenhouse's reporting capabilities is the fact that with one click you can easily export to google docs or excel. I've had issues with other ATS's that I've used in the past where a report would take hours to generate. With greenhouse, a report is generated in seconds.
Greenhouse Support. I have to say Greenhouse support is world class. No phone calls or being put on hold for hours. Instead there is a support chat button and you are able to connect with a representative really fast. I'm able to get a problem solved faster since the reps are really well-trained. There is no back and forth.
Candidate Feedback/ Notifications. Greenhouse enables you to customize on who you want to receive candidate evaluation feedback. I am able to add on an hiring manager to evaluation notifications or another key interviewer. When an evaluation form or scorecard as Greenhouse calls is filled out, I get an email with the feedback. This is great when I'm traveling and I'm unable to check in greenhouse itself. Instead, I can check my email and see the info accordingly. I also like the fact that you can customize the evaluation form with detailed requirements. There is even the ability to set the evaluation forms to private so the interview team cannot view it. We set it private as this helps prevent interview bias.,When you first get greenhouse, it does take time to set up. Greenhouse could help to provide a smoother transition in the beginning.
The mobile app has some glitches and there's been times it has froze on me. I think it could be improved upon.
There is a sharing jobs to social media function where you can easily post automated job postings to your linkedin, facebook, twitter. I'd like to have Greenhouse be able to tell me which of our employees consistently post the most job postings to their social media.,10,Helped with candidate metrics and reporting. We are able to see where the majority of our candidates apply from and the time to fill for various positions. It provided accurate data that helped us determine our recruiting strategy for certain roles.
Helped increase productivity. I am able to spend more time and energy into sourcing and less time manually uploading candidate data. In the early years of my career, I'd block out a chunk of time to input data and keep records of candidate info. I would loose time to source qualified candidates. Greenhouse has helped me be able to spend the time where I want it to be spent: Sourcing.
Helped with creating a great interview plan. We are able to make sure we create the right interview plan or sequence for our technical roles. One size does not fit all and Greenhouse gives us the capability of making sure we can set the right interviews in place.,Jobvite,LinkedIn Talent, HireRight, EnteloAvni ShahGreenhouse has too much process for a smaller company. Should not be used for under 100 employees2018-09-07T19:38:49.338ZGreenhouse is our only ATS right now. The only people who use Greenhouse is our recruiting team. Not the entire company.,Greenhouse is a great tool for company wide use (referral programs, and sharing specific jobs on social media)
Greenhouse is a great tool for companies that have a long recruiting process,I don't believe that Greenhouse is a tool that is great for startups or companies under 100 people. We feel that greenhouse actually slowed our recruiting process down in that there are a lot of extra processes in place that are not relevant to smaller companies.
Greenhouse is expensive, and there are basic functions that cost extra. For example if you want to categorize candidates that you might not be able to hire today, but may have a role in the future that is relevant- you would have to pay extra for a "CRM" for the ability to keep these candidates in the "candidate pool"
Greenhouse's onboarding process was very difficult to navigate. It is like "self teach" and then feel free to ask questions.
To get each candidate into greenhouse you have to save the resume, upload it, and then add various fields. So it is not a quick parse. There is an option to forward an email into greenhouse that has a resume attached to it but more often then not the parse does not work AND each job has its own email address. So if we are recruiting for 20 different jobs, I need to keep a list of emails to forward resumes to.
You have to assign a job to each candidate. So if someone applies and is not relevant to a specific job there is no place for them in Greenhouse. This makes it challenging to collect resumes for a later date or compare resumes that we may have already collected to the ones 3rd party recruiters send in.,2,Greenhouse has slowed our process down, and requires us to check several places for resumes since they can not all be stored in Greenhouse.
Greenhouse is an expensive tool and a small company does would not use all of the tools that are encompassed in the cost. So it is not cost effective for a small company.,Jobvite, Crelate Talent and Bullhorn CRMMariam BarnesYour Home Base For Recruiting2018-11-09T22:29:25.991ZWe use Greenhouse to aggregate candidate information; it serves as a one-stop place to share open jobs, review resumes, add referrals to open jobs, share jobs across socials networks, and for interviewers to view questions and leave notes. It enables employees and recruiters to have personal dashboards to view what is most important.,Provides a full funnel view of where candidates are in the hiring process.
Enables internal employees to view open positions based on a variety of filters.
Makes it easy to share open positions across social media.,Reporting can be more robust - perhaps having that ability to create custom reports.
You have to jump through a few hoops to view resumes, there should be an option to view it right away when hovering over a name.
Calendar integration doesn't always work.,8,We have a central place to track all candidate activity and we can see what is happening with a candidate at any given point.
It has helped us to streamline candidate communication.
It enables us to quickly see where most of the candidates are coming from.,,Slack, Google Ad Manager, Google Authenticator, Google Ads (formerly AdWords), Google AnalyticsDustin Hovey
