Likelihood to Recommend

Greenhouse is great for obtaining original information on a candidate. It is a great tool to use as a data warehouse for candidates and new hires. However, the customization and functionality are very limited compared to other software we reviewed. Being able to set up mass/canned "no thank yous" to candidates is such a simple and obvious feature Greenhouse is lacking. Additionally, user-end setup and customization of notifications would be helpful, especially if there is more than 1 hiring manager on a candidate.
