Overall Satisfaction with Greenhouse
Our talent acquisition team primarily uses Greenhouse to calibrate the hiring process so that every candidate is measured on the same parameters irrespective of any bias. One member of the hiring team is unable to see the feedback of the other members, thus making sure that the existing feedback doesn't cloud one's judgement. Each interview has a specific objective and a corresponding scorecard to assess the candidate, which makes sure that the hiring manager is making the assessment for different candidates on the same performance metrics. The final hiring decision is made after collating the feedback of the entire hiring panel, making the process more unbiased and fair for the candidates.
- 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
- With the stipulation of providing the interview feedback within a given timeline, feedback is received pronto and recruiters can move ahead with the next rounds faster
- The referral hires ratio has increased, which mean less cost to the company and more engaged employees
- Overall turnaround time for the entire recruitment process has drastically reduced, leading to lesser requirement of bench translating to huge savings.
