Greenhouse is an okay tool. It's not the worst in the market, but I'm not 100% sure it's the best. If their focus is solely on Enterprise, then I suspect it would be better suited for larger organizations who need support. For a smaller organization, if you run into problems, you're support is going to be lackluster at best.

I recently switched to Lever hoping it would be a better platform/supercharge my hiring efforts, instead I had nothing but issues and made a decision to go back to Greenhouse. I am happy to be back with Greenhouse - their features actually work. Would have saved us a lot of time and money if we had just stayed put.

Greenhouse Review: "Get all of your candidates in order, and build out your team!"
Technical Recruiter
Segment.comInternet, 51-200 employees
On the recruiting team, we use Greenhouse as our primary ATS (applicant tracking system). It's how we know which candidates are applying, what interview stage they are at, what interview feedback they may garner, etc. We track offers, schedule interviews, review inbound information such as resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, how they heard of Segment, application questions, etc.
We also export candidate profiles to Greenhouse from Entelo after sourcing them via email.
We also export candidate profiles to Greenhouse from Entelo after sourcing them via email.
- Easy flow-through application review in each job
- Easy to manage offer and export via DocuSign
- Interview feedback scorecards are easy to structure
- Not very good at uploading resumes in the correct format via FilePicker
- When trying to parse resume from PDF, only scrapes some / wrong information
- Is not intuitive for new hiring managers to navigate through
It's a great ATS, comparable with Lever.
Use it well and know that a lot of the structure and interview kit will take time to build properly!

User Review: "Greenhouse is a solid hire"
VP of Marketing
NexosisComputer Software, 11-50 employees
We use Greenhouse to move potential hires through the pipeline including posting to job website and our internal job board, reviewing resumes, scheduling interviews, and gathering internal candidate feedback.
- Easy to post jobs on various websites and keep our careers page up to date.
- Good reminders to keep each application process moving.
- Scheduling feature is great to work with and makes interview scheduling simple.
- We've had some issues with email integration that were cumbersome to fix.
- Some of the processes for moving candidates through the pipeline can be confusing, especially when several people are working on the same pipeline.
- Search functionality is a bit bungled. It can be difficult to surface a particular group of candidates with filter naming being a bit confusing.
Greenhouse is great for small companies that don't have an internal HR department. It makes it easy to review and screen new candidates and walks you through the process of getting resumes to getting hired.

Review: "My company uses Greenhouse for our hiring/recruiting solution"
Head of Customer Success
NexosisComputer Software, 11-50 employees
My entire organization uses Greenhouse to manage our recruiting efforts. I work for a tech start up and we are hiring like crazy lately. We are able to post job openings, review new applicants, schedule interviews, make offers and reject candidates right in the website.
I am a manager and I'm typically part of the interview process, but I have to be invited to every single position. The website isn't always user friendly, maybe it's due to user error, but I wish it was easier to navigate.
I am a manager and I'm typically part of the interview process, but I have to be invited to every single position. The website isn't always user friendly, maybe it's due to user error, but I wish it was easier to navigate.
- I like that I can see all candidates who have applied to a certain position
- I love that I get reminders every morning when I have an interview
- I also like that I can see how long a position has been open and how many candidates have applied.
- I wish I could compare candidates side by side. It's frustrating to have to open 2 websites or flip back and forth
- I previously had more suggestions but can't think of any right now so I may add to this review later
I will definitely recommend Greenhouse to my colleagues because it's the one recruiting software we use as an organization. Everyone has to use it if he/she is involved in an interview process.

We use Greenhouse to track our new candidates. As a rapidly growing SaaS company, hiring is a huge day to day commitment for us. With Greenhouse, were able to track all of our applicants, referrals, and new employees all through a single pane of glass. Very easy to use and our employees love it!
It's great for hiring. Very straightforward applications that allow our organization to rapidly grow and expand, and keep all our future talent easily organized. The more we grow, the more we need a platform to handle our new hires. Greenhouse is awesome and scales with us as we continue to grow.

User Review: "Greenhouse Tops all other ATSs!"
People Operations Manager
Crimson HexagonComputer Software, 201-500 employees
When I was first introduced to Greenhouse, the company I worked for had 2 different applicant tracking systems. As you can imagine, this caused several challenges both internally and externally in terms of candidate experience and as we improved processes and started to report on recruiting metrics. Greenhouse allowed us to move to one ATS that every hiring manager and interviewer in the company was able to use. Even our engineering team (who tended to be pretty particular about software) was pleased with Greenhouse. It made the debriefing process significantly more efficient because we created customizable scorecards and the communication interface for candidates was exceptional. I am a big fan of Greenhouse and will push to use it at every company I work for.
- For each job post, hiring teams can create scorecards that are specific and clear so that throughout the entire recruitment processes, candidates can be assessed more accurately.
- You can customize communications for candidates throughout the entire recruitment process so that they have the best possible experience, even if they aren't selected for the position.
- Greenhouse has the capability for you to flag a candidate that you want to follow up with in the future. When the follow-up date arrives, you receive a notification so you don't need to remind yourself in your own work calendar, Greenhouse takes care of it for you.
- A more robust interview calendar would be very helpful.
I think Greenhouse is well suited for enhancing candidate experience and for synthesizing feedback. It helps hiring teams work very efficiently through the recruiting process and allows them to manage req loads with more organization. The fact that Greenhouse integrates with other tools is extremely helpful. On the flip side, when organizations are using a different HRIS system, Greenhouse can be a bit more difficult to use. It would be interesting to see Greenhouse move into the HRIS space!

Review: "Greenhouse doesn't have the strongest analytics, but fairs very well when stacked against competitors."

Program Manager in Human Resources
Internet Company, 201-500 employeesWe are currently using Greenhouse as a recruiting ATS. Greenhouse helps us manage candidates and prospects in process, and helps us pull helpful metrics to guide our recruiting strategies.
- Clean UI; easy to use in comparison to other applicant tracking systems out there.
- Updating job information and interview plans is simple.
- Thoughtfully put together; Greenhouse allows us to manage candidates and prospects well so we can run with candidates that are ready to interview but can also keep prospects warm until they are ready to interview.
- Tracking/reporting -- hard to pull the information we need. Hard to pull complex data to inform overall strategy decisions. Instead, we lean on integrations like Tableau, etc.
Greenhouse is good for a general ATS, but isn't great for complex tracking/reporting.

Review: "Why Greenhouse is the ONLY option you need."
Verified User
Team Lead in Human Resources
Internet Company, 501-1000 employeesGreenhouse is being used throughout the entire organization. Not only as an ATS tool, but it is a big driver for our referrals. In terms of the business problems Greenhouse addresses, it allows not only the talent team to sift through resumes quicker but we're able to manage the influx of resumes with the hiring teams. With the hiring managers having access, they are able to assist in the interview process and be more involved throughout the entire hiring process.
- Greenhouse has many capabilities such as bulk emailing, AI to help notice if there is an applicant that would be similar to another resume in the database and lastly the ease of moving candidates quickly through the hiring process.
- Getting updates on when Greenhouse is experiencing technical issues or malfunctions.
- Lastly, not worrying about sifting through resumes manually.
- Constant problems when it comes to working through Outlook.
- In approval sections, some of the key items that we add in during a job opening up disappear in the tab later on.
The reason why I would recommend Greenhouse to a colleague or to another company is because of the ease of the system. I've worked with many ATS' and I have to say that Greenhouse works flawlessly in comparison to others. The ability to manage, move, drag, place, source and other features inside Greenhouse is beyond what others have made, created or thought of.

Greenhouse Review: "Pretty Close To A Silver Bullet!"
Director, Talent Acquisition
Rubicon ProjectInternet, 501-1000 employees
We use Greenhouse as the platform for all recruiting functions globally. Prior to implementing Greenhouse, we had a lot of manual processes in place and the recruiting function as a whole was decentralized. There was no central repository for all recruiting-related information. With Greenhouse, we were able to align the team globally, centralize all functions, automate processes, and create a better hiring experience for managers.
- Reporting - In my role, I need to be able to diagnose where the breakdowns are in recruiting, and the system’s many canned reports help me do that. While Greenhouse doesn’t have the ability to let you build custom reports, there are enough reports available that I don’t have to do that. It’s also been very useful for me to get weekly recruitment reports from the system so I can see activity from a high level. All this lets me keep my finger on the pulse of hiring, and report effectively to the business where we are with progress to plan, while at the same time advising on trends I’m seeing and actions we may want to take.
- Interview Kits/Scorecards - Another great feature of the system. Getting everyone on the same sheet of music has been invaluable. Once all scorecards are input then the manager can see all of the feedback and make a decision. As I’ve mentioned, centralization is important to us and having all the feedback in one place makes it easy on recruiter and manager alike. And the interview kits are a great way to set everyone up for success, because they can be customized so that the whole interview panel takes the same approach, or each interviewer can be tasked with a specific question set. And it’s all so intuitive and easy to use. Several of our senior executives have set the standard for user engagement with Greenhouse!
- User experience - This was one very key area for us. We believe that recruiters are partners to managers, and for them to want to engage on that level, we needed a system that was user-friendly. And Greenhouse is definitely user-friendly. We have a high level of engagement here which has helped to further our goal of creating a culture of recruitment here.
- Reporting Customization - Although there are many canned reports that cover a variety of areas, I still have to export multiple reports in order to build a report which tells the story I’m trying to tell.
- User Access Customization - I understand this is something on their product roadmap. It would be great for them to get more granular in terms of access-level functionality.
If you’re looking for a recruiting system that is user-friendly, intuitive and customizable, you should definitely look at Greenhouse.
Greenhouse allows us to be fluid with our recruiting process, which is important because we have to be able to pivot quickly to support the needs of the business. If you're looking for a tool that allows you to tailor your recruiting processes to a specific role and operate with a high degree of transparency (which Greenhouse allows you to do - everyone can run reports!), then this system should be given serious consideration.

Internet Company, 201-500 employeesWe use Greenhouse for all of our recruiting purposes. It is used the most by our recruiting team, but any and all can and will use it should they be recruiting for a specific position on their team. Greenhouse has addressed the issue of not having a central repository for all recruitment activities - it has made it super easy to have multiple people involved in the recruiting process and to keep track of all activity that has taken place.
- Keeps track of all applications and candidates
- Keeps all information in one place - job description, application materials, status, interviewing schedule, feedback, and scorecard. Very helpful for team efforts on recruiting!
- Keeps track of your referrals and where they are in the process
- I honestly love Greenhouse - I have no major complaints at this time! It's been super helpful all around.
Greenhouse is well suited for any recruiting situations, especially when those involved in the recruiting process are in different places. It is also fantastic for reviewing past candidates - who worked out well and why, and vice versa. Lastly, it is great for communication between the hiring team and the recruiting team, making it very easy to provide feedback, schedule interviews, etc.

Review: "Greenhouse is the bomb dot com and better than all other ATS's!"
Verified User
Contributor in Human Resources
Computer Software Company, 501-1000 employeesGreenhouse is used as our applicant tracking system for our potential new hires. We use it to help sort through resumes, collect scorecards on interviews, and congregate information in regards to strengths and weaknesses of each candidate. It is being used throughout the whole organization. For recruiting they use it for all things recruiting, and for the rest of the company we use it for referrals and resume collection. Some of the business problems it addresses is the ability to easily create referral links for our employees to then post out on their social media pages, and then that individual link is tied to the employee for recognition. It really makes it easy for our employees to share the open positions we have, which in turn brings in higher quality of candidates. The ROI is awesome!
- Ease of creating links for referrals to be tied to you. There is a spot where you can create individual links for positions that you can post on your social media pages. Then if anyone clicks that link it is tied to the employees' name from then on. It's easy to track for referral bonuses
- I really enjoy the scorecard section. It's a place where you can list individual strengths or weaknesses of the candidate you are interviewing and the data is congregated should there be additional interviewers. It's great to see it all in one place.
- The interface is really easy to use. It looks neat and clean and handles a lot of our needs.
- The support team needs some help. They are quick to respond but sometimes don't provide a satisfying answer or they won't implement a new change. It's frustrating since we pay for the tool, but overall it's still a really great tool.
- While the interface looks and feels great, it changes a lot. I would say it changes every few weeks and they move stuff around so you have to relearn the site. It still works great, but it's frustrating at times to figure out exactly where things have been moved to.
- It would be nice if they had a better training system to really show you how to use a lot of their functionality. There are things that we find out about that would have been helpful to know but are already implemented in the system.
The interface is great and beautiful, there is a support team to answer your questions in real time, the scorecard system is awesome and should be implemented in all ATS's. The support team isn't always supportive of new ideas (they say they will pass it along but nothing is implemented right there). Overall it is a great tool that I would recommend.

Apparel & Fashion Company, 501-1000 employeesIt is being used by our talent team across the organization. It helps streamline communications between the company and potential candidates, while also leaving room for keeping track of, and managing, the perfect candidate.
- Easy to navigate: the setup for stages of which candidates are at makes it easy for everyone with access to see notes and progress of that candidate.
- Streamlined: able to follow which candidate is a great fit and able to move candidate profile for different role/location.
- There are no cons at the moment.
Greenhouse is perfect for any business. It is a useful tool in terms of building a pipeline and managing candidates. The ease of access throughout the entire process- from the moment a candidate applies until the moment of the offer letter makes the interview process a breeze.

Information Technology and Services Company, 51-200 employeesGreenhouse is used to manage job applications and the hiring process. It allows us to see who has applied for a job at the company, whether or not we have reached out to that person. Once an interview is scheduled, we can take notes on the interview and share them with the rest of the team.
- Clearly being able to see where an applicant is in the interview process
- Visibility into applicants for a positions
- Isolation of candidates info to relevant teams.
- Notifications are something that greenhouse could do better with - it would be nice to give users some control over how much they want to be notified about.
- Ratings are a bit confusing as it does not bring all the evaluators at the same starting point.
- Allow users to use some structure for grading.
It is a leading product in its field. It has numerous features and really makes the hiring process much more transparent. It integrates with Workday which is amazing. Migration to the software is overwhelming, but once that is done, the benefits are numerous. You can track an applicant throughout the process and even identify trends for improvement.

I love this system and we've only been using it for 3 months.
It's so easy to use and a great way to involve the whole company in the recruitment process. We used to use a simple database for housing candidates but not only does Greenhouse house candidates, it tracks candidates like no other system. Literally everything can be done through one system which reduces the need to use several browsers and tabs to set up interviews, collect feedback, etc. I love the custom scorecards and interview plans for each role and the user interface is amazing.

- Greenhouse allows you to create individual scorecards and interview plans for different roles.
- It tracks the application any way you choose.
- You can set up all interviews through Greenhouse.
- You have to remember to convert candidates to prospects if you reject a candidate or close a role. I'd like to see this work differently so it's easier to search old candidates.

Principal & Chief Talent Officer
BKR Strategy GroupInternet, 501-1000 employees
Greenhouse is being used by the whole organization. I saw the opportunity to optimize my client's recruiting process while increasing buy-in from the entire organization. Greenhouse a creates a structured interview process and keeps teams organized. There's a robust reporting tool that allows for real data-driven decisions to improve the entire organization's recruiting structure while maintaining an excellent candidate experience all the way through. Our offers and approvals functionality also helps to streamline the recruiting process and decreases time to hire.
- Automation of communication throughout the organization.
- Real time data and metrics available to keep all parties informed of where things stand.
- New features being added regularly that creates confusion by non hr/technical users.
- Data visualization in key areas to show vs. tell is needed.
Greenhouse is an ideal product to implement in organizations with or without any ATS currently in place. Its fire to the caveman if you don't have anything in place.

SamanageComputer Software, 51-200 employees
We just started using Greenhouse to help manage our exponential employee growth. The software was easy to implement and the support we received from our account manager Robby was outstanding. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and helped us customize the software to a point where it makes it so much easier to schedule interviews, review candidates/get feedback, and send automated messages when we receive resumes or choose not to move forward with a candidate. We're quite pleased at this point and are excited to continue integrating the software into our recruiting efforts.
- Customer Service
- Ease of use and implementation
- Customization options
- There are a couple of functionality pieces we'd like to see including auto time-out and seeing resumes without having to click into candidate details, but those are minor.
We've thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Greenhouse so far. Ease of use and great customer service make it easy to recommend the software.

Greenhouse Review: "Recruiter = 1 million times easier"
Verified User
Manager in Other
Semiconductors Company, 11-50 employeesI didn't believe it when I heard another company talk about how Greenhouse changed their lives. How could something "literally" make your process a million times easier? Well, they weren't wrong. I got our entire startup's portal up in two weeks through fantastic customer support, and the interface has tremendous depth to it, yet is intuitive to use. Couldn't be happier with our selection and we now have the infrastructure in place to double our headcount annually for the next 36 months and beyond.
- Integrations with existing infrastructure.
- Clean and easy to modify scorecards.
- Data tracking and reporting is seamless.
- Third party agency integrations is not as tightly woven in terms of feedback as I would like to see.
