Based on the points mentioned previously, Greenhouse Recruitment is definitely one of the best applicant tracking software out there. Even though it contains limitations, which all systems do, it will improve over time. If I want to recommend Greenhouse product to a friend or a company that is considering using the system, I would inform them that do not to be afraid of learning the system. Greenhouse has thousands of comprehensive articles on its website. Whatever you would like to know about the system, Greenhouse Community contains it all. Greenhouse also has really responsive support that can help sort various issues out.

Smooth, easy to use ats with great reporting functionality. This solves many business challenges, you can track all your recruiting data at one place. It integrates well with other platforms hence no need to do high level of coding to enable other tools on top of it. Also, Greenhouse support is great.

For a fast-paced startup, with rapid hiring, Greenhouse is a great tool. Our whole TA team prefers using greenhouse to other applicant tracking systems (ATS). For larger companies you may want to use a tool that is complimentary/built into your HRIS but for earlier stage companies, Greenhouse is great.

Well suited for Big organizations where recruitment is a daily task. Understanding of Greenhouse workings is simple and it is not difficult to train people who use it for first time.
Greenhouse is less appropriate if you are looking for sharing offer letters or doing employee onboarding. Did not had a great experience in doing that

Greenhouse merges very well with most of the Job Board we use such as Indeed, Linkedin Recruiter and others. It makes it easy to import date from these job boards onto the system. However, more can be done when it comes to bulk candidate import, I think there should be a feature that allows us to adding bulk candidates at a go.

Greenhouse has been beneficial to streamline our interview process as well as onboarding of new hires with it's rich functionality around candidate management and correspondence, interview plan customizations, feedback loop management and data insights/ reporting capabilities. Greenhouse is also easy to roll out to our company, users have had no issues adopting and using the tool for interviews, referrals, and submitting written feedback. One area that would be beneficial to see in the future is a way to incorporate the entire prospecting cycle into the tool i.e. a sourcing functionality that currently is handled by purchasing a tool through another vendor.

Well suited for organizations that need a simple way to manage the interview process in a centralized way. If you need more customization, lots of bells and whistles, a private/on-prem only solution, etc., it may not be right for your organization.

I would say that Greenhouse is a very useful tool for hiring as it makes my life easier to keep track of everyone I have referred, the status, which jobs they have applied to, which jobs are available to be shared and learning more about the candidate when I'm involved in the interview process.

Greenhouse is well suited for midsize companies that want an array of features in their ATS but aren't yet ready and don't need the massive clunky ATS's of mega-corporations (like Workday). It is customizable and flexible and once learned the product is pretty easy use.

Greenhouse is an effective tool to organize candidate pipeline & supporting an interview process with multiple stages and generating offers for candidate. If working with a third-party recruitment firm or tracking multiple channels, Greenhouse is also effective when tracking the particular source of submitted candidate applications. Greenhouse is also helpful to reference historical feedback on candidates.

Greenhouse is a good ATS but I do not think it is the greatest one and done tool for recruiting teams. There is significant room for improvement when it comes to sourcing within Greenhouse and displaying past candidates information in a way that is easy to navigate.

Greenhouse is great for a small-mid-sized company to attract and maintain talent. It would be less suited for a very large, matrixed organization that needs advanced reporting tools. I think Greenhouse is very efficient for a smaller organization that uses several hiring managers when making decisions, but once the company is heavily matrixed it can be a little more challenging to manage the interview process and stay on top of a lot more interviews going on.

We default to chat support as our CSM isn't the most communicative. We just started that relationship so hopefully it will get better. It is easy to update permissions and integrate with platforms like GoodTime, Searchlight, HireRight. My first year using this platform so there is definitely a learning curve that I've been working through.

I think Greenhouse is well suited for a smaller company that does not have many applicants, candidates, or interviewers. For a larger company, it seems too manual and needs more automation. I also would like to see a number rating scale or a neutral rating, rather than yes or no.

Greenhouse is a strong choice for smaller to medium sized companies, or larger companies with less complex needs. In particular, prospective customers that require many translations into less common languages, have many different workflows or other requirements (e.g. country-specific applications, multiple brands / templates, etc) may not find everything they need from Greenhouse.

The space Greenhouse is in is very competitive and there are lots of applying-based services. I think for any company trying to make the applying process as easy as possible would do well with Greenhouse. The scenario I think would be not as necessary is for large companies that already are flooded with applicants, using Greenhouse may actually lead to an undesired effect of repeat applicants and too many unqualified applicants because of how simple it is.

Greenhouse is great for when employment decisions need to be made quickly with many stakeholders involved. With this application those involved in the process can see the candidates resume as well as the notes that other interviewers have had from their interactions. This allows the candidate to have more targeted interviews as they get deeper in the process.

Integration is at its best I would say, we can have our mail box connected with Greenhouse account and also it has ability to get real time data from tools like workday to push REQ into market. I personally liked the tool when I saw candidate feedback from multiple sources on my screen. Really does the job for everyone in the business by saving hours of time.

Greenhouse is well suited to scale up an organization's hiring process. It organizes and adds a structure to the hiring process. One could look at the entire hiring journey and stages in the application process--though the tool has too many features and gets confusing for some people.
