Attribute Ratings
Reviews
(51-75 of 139)Great for all levels of recruiters!
- Organizing candidate and job information.
- Analyzing basic data/reporting.
- Work collaboratively with other stakeholders and other recruiters on a role.
- Integration with workday - the data gets very messy and there are usually issues when we try to integrate data to and from GH and workday.
- Advanced reporting/analytics.
- Auditing stale candidates.
Greenhouse is the best ATS!
- 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.
- Interview Kit - Greenhouse has a great interview kit for interviewers. When an interviewer receives an invite to interview, they receive a customized link that takes them to the evaluation form, candidate's resume, cover letter. In addition, in the interview kit, we put a customized set of questions for the specific interviewer.
- 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.
Best ATS out there!
- Have templates that are used to send to candidates for communication.
- User friendly interface.
- Well organized job requisitions.
- The reporting could be more granule and customizable.
- Sometimes they move buttons around without announcing it.
Great product!
- Clear features.
- User experience.
- Candidate experience - pronouns, pronunciation, etc.
- Dashboard organization.
- Scheduled emails - want to see the content of these.
- Error messages when adding candidates to a Google Meet invite - "doesn't recognize interviewer".
Greenhouse 2022 - Great Tool for Recruiters
- Reports.
- Integration.
- Ease of Use.
- Support.
- Data reporting on Job Stage Changes.
- Fresher look on the backend.
- Price is pretty high.
Not the best tool at all
- Customer Service.
- Their CRM is useless.
- Scheduling tool isn't great.
- API data fields don't always work.
Good Value for What it Costs
- Score cards- very customizable and provide ability to track more tangible and objective feedback
- Customizable offer templates- allows you to store many different offer templates that you can pick from
- Branded look and feel
- Customizable security roles
- Integrations/API- very limited integration capabilities due to inability to store a lot of demographic information about the job that can then be passed to an HRIS with minimal manual data entry. HR still has to key in a lot of job demographic details about new hires. It would be great if Greenhouse was able to store more of this data and pass it on to other systems via integrations.
- Custom Reporting- our teams are often unable to report on certain data in a way needed at the company level for analysis and this leads to having to dump data into a BI tool so we can report on it in the specific way we need to.
Greenhouse--Structured hiring at scale
- Candidate scoring and assessment occurs within the system and one needs to submit the evaluation within 24 hours of the interview.
- Greenhouse comes with a scheduling tool, which helps the recruitment team coordinate with the candidate for the time slots in accordance with the hiring panel availability.
- Greenhouse provides complete control and flexibility to customize the recruitment process for different roles and positions and also integrate existing solutions like Google Meet and Zoom for video interviews, which is imperative in current pandemic times.
- There is no way to configure different access for different users
- Scheduling functionality has bugs, and very often one needs to go directly to Outlook or Google Calendar for scheduling interviews
- Pricing is on the higher side, which can prove very expensive for smaller companies
Clean, simple - could use better visualizations
- Applicant tracking
- Pipeline visibility
- Collaboration
- No AI
- No metrics
- Dashboard integration non existent
Greenhouse allows our enterprise-level company to interview, review, and track applicants efficiently
- The referral process for people to add their referrals to HubSpot is a great feature and allows our Recruiting team to track the timing of referrals.
- When interviewing candidates Greenhouse allows you to customize the questions that your interviewers ask.
- I personally like the fact that I can have Greenhouse up while interviewing and take all my notes right in the application.
- The UI of Greenhouse can be confusing when you start and the tutorials aren't in-app or all that helpful.
- Bulk updating approvals on jobs can be really time-consuming because you have to do it manually.
- There are plenty of canned reports but it would be nice if you could customize more of the reports.
Greenhouse is a startup must!
- Referrals
- Interview process tracking
- Makes everyone an effective recruiter
- Updates during the interview process can be delayed
- Duplicate referrals
- Usability
- Tracking
- Information inclusion
- Customizability
- Conference/video set up
Greenhouse - The Best ATS for a Growing Company!
- Organize job requisitions and resumes with pertinent information.
- Schedules interviews with candidates and integrates with calendar softwares.
- Sometimes there are bugs with the calendaring system that can be resolved.
- Specific nuances in workflow.
Greenhouse is not well suited if you are an existing organization that has more than 1,000 employees.
A fresh data-driven approach to recruiting and hiring!
- Ensuring hiring process is equitable.
- Dashboards to provide a data-centric approach to hiring goals.
- Best-in-class mobile experience.
- More integrations with 3rd party tools.
- Spam filters occasionally flag legitimate emails.
- Option for self-hosted service for heavily-regulated customers.
Great ATS
- Applicant Tracking
- Interviewer Scorecards
- Streamlining Candidate Experience
- More focus on core competencies
- Better visibility about candidate lifecycles
Recruitment with ease
- Custom workflow for approval and review at all levels
- Meaningful alerts and status updates
- Profile tracking and referral management
- Does not have comprehensive steps post selection or rejection of candidates profile
Great for Managing and Tracking Employee Referrals
- 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.
- Scorecards
- Parsing of English CV
- Integrations
- Poor customer support and customer success.
- User experience
- Poor reporting
Greenhouse Makes It Easy to Vet Candidate Applications and Resumes
- Notifications when an action is required
- Nice dashboard to see the volume of candidates and indicates if an application has been submitted for a period of time and not reviewed
- Centralizes interview/candidate feedback through the use of scorecards where other stakeholders in the hiring process can view
- Sometimes it's necessary to look up candidates after they have been moved out of my dashboard. I find it hard to easily search for those older submissions, but that may be more of a training issue internally than an area of improvement.
- I am not leveraging all features that Greenhouse offers, so I can't speak to other specific areas of improvement from the Hiring Manager side. It handles what I need in order to vet and keep the status of candidates.
Wonderfully Simple Recruiting and Applicant Tracking System
- Integrating interview guides with candidate scorecards and ample notes sections
- Reminding me to fill out score cards within a designated time period after an interview
- Embedding candidate's resume and cover letter into the scorecard for easy access
- Quick copy for referral links to send to candidates
- The ability to make rubric rating type questions with section headers required in score cards.
- An easier way to track referrals and get better updates about where they are in the interview process.
- Better integrations for scheduling interviews between candidates and multiple interviewers.
Amazing ATS and an HR Team's dream!
- Analytics
- Recruitment Facilitation (end to end)
- Historical Data and Record keeping
- Candidate and HR Team Experience
- Search Navigation - sometimes difficult to navigate and find all resources at the drop of a hat but the CS team is AMAZING and there to help you through any questions or support needs live.
GreenHouse recruiting to keep your candidates neat
- Candidate scheduling.
- Internal notifications for hiring managers.
- Customizing canned features.

Do not recommend
- Integration with Slack.
- Basic actions, such as reviewing pipelines or scheduling interviews, take too much time.
- Difficult to navigate, implement, and validate customizations
- No customer service.
- Mobile application is not functional.
Greenhouse, Reviewed.
- Track application progress
- Provides an index of job listings
- Intuitive User Interface
- User Interface could be streamlined
- Several action items within the product lead to the same spot, they are redundant.
- Not aesthetically pleasing.
Greenhouse is the best ATS I have used in my career!
- Organization wide collaboration
- Application review with hiring managers
- Collecting feedback from interviewers
- Scorecard customization for various roles
- Sending technical assignments
- More robust reporting functionality
