Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it as our ATS. It helps us manage all of our candidates, run reports, and communicate with candidates. This tool is very helpful for keeping the entire company's candidates in one database...so every candidate has basically the same experience regardless of what role they interview for. This helps the Talent Acquisition team remain on task, organized and provide reporting information.

Pros and Cons

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.

Return on Investment

Decreased time to hire.
More efficiency.
Helpful with organization and continuity across the organization.

Usability

Great intuitive platform. It allows for ease of use and is comprehensive. Once you perform the functions a few times, it becomes familiar and not difficult. If one has an interest in learning how to use it well...it's not hard, you just have to use it. It's far better than any other ATS I've used.

Alternatives Considered

ZipRecruiter

Greenhouse has a very reasonable price for various organization sizes. It's intuitive to use and provides decent reporting. It's much better than Success Factors, Lever, or ZipRecruiter. ZipRecruiter is fine for very small businesses..but it doesn't allow organization or candidate communication like larger ATSs do.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works very well for candidate management and communication. It has an easily viewable dashboard that provides clear status snapshots of what is happening live. It could be more helpful in easily pulling up previous / rejected candidates. Sometimes trying to access older history can be a little more arduous... but it's not unreasonable.

Best ATS out there!
