Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Greenhouse is our organization's way of tracking applicants, but also allowing end users (interviewers) to submit their interview feedback in an easy, efficient manner. It is actively being used across the entire organization. Instead of submitting paper interview forms, each interviewer has the ability to submit their feedback on each individual candidate. The tool also provides interviewers all the information needed prior to interviewing (e.g. resume, cover letter).

Pros and Cons

Interview feedback submission.
Link to social media for easy job sharing.

Detecting duplicate referral candidates.

Return on Investment

Close to 100% interview form completion rate.

Alternatives Considered

Workday Human Capital Management, Avature ATS and IBM Kenexa Talent Acquisition Suite

Greenhouse doesn't even compare to these other systems. I was a recruiter in a past life, and I can say that even as an end user of Greenhouse now (strictly for interviews)...it is far superior to the other comparable systems out there. Greenhouse is user friendly, the UI is easy to follow, the functionality is there, and plenty more I'm probably forgetting about. I would never want to go back to another ATS.

Likelihood to Recommend

Greenhouse is great for recruiting, but also for sharing information across an organization and minimizing what goes to certain teams/departments. Our recruiters are able to see everything, which makes sense, but interviewers and anyone outside of HR cannot view sensitive information, such as salary, SSN, etc. I think it is extremely appropriate for any size organization because it sends email reminders and prevents busy recruiters and HR employees from hunting down interviewers with missing feedback.

Greenhouse is every employee's dream!
