"ATS with great features"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse has a wide range of features and an excellent customer support team. If you have any questions whatsoever, their support team is there and ready to chat within seconds!

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

I find that some features can be a bit clunky and sometimes is not the most user friendly.

What problems is Greenhouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Greenhouse helps us as we continue to scale and hire for a high volume of roles. It has also been helpful as we manage two separate job boards. The integration with LinkedIn Recruiter also makes it very easy to upload sourced candidates.

"Greenhouse gets it done!"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I like being able to submit my first impressions with candidates realtime while in the interview. The tool is really easy to use! I also like being able to see other responses from the interviewing party.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

I think it is difficult to get to a candidates resume easily.

What problems is Greenhouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need a place to go to for the "truth" on all things recruiting. This system houses all information about our job postings and candidate information.

"Easy to learn system and use daily"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

The highlights of using Greenhouse for me is ease of use, customer support and ease of integration. I've used Greenhouse for two years and the basic functions are very easy to learn. If I'm unsure how to accomplish something there are various support articles and customer support chat available immediately. It's also easy to integrate other tools into Greenhouse like DocuSign.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

A dislike for me is that while customer support is helpful, they are not advanced enough to give advice on complicated issues.

What problems is Greenhouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Greenhouse houses all of our candidate data and that is great for it to be in one single spot!

"A great ATS to use"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

It makes tracking your processes so much easier! I love the ability to build out an entire interview plan and making it easy for our coordinators to be able to schedule interviews. Greenhouse records every communication you have with the candidate as long as your email is synced with the platform allowing other members to jump in and fill in when necessary. Everything you want and need is available on the candidate profile.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse just started generating Zoom and Google Meet links for interviews, this feature is still gimmicky and doesn't allow for transparency. Greenhouse doesn't send calendar invites, just confirmation emails which we do not like.

What problems is Greenhouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are tracking our hiring process step by step.

"The most thorough recruiting tool I have used!"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse covers ALL the needs of a recruiting team, so you can go super basic, or do every single thing that is needed within one tool. I like the ability to customize it to your needs.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Sometimes the amount of options is a lot, and finding what you are trying to navigate to is a challenge, especially for hiring managers who don't spend as much time in the system as I do, as a recruiter.

What problems is Greenhouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Greenhouse tracks everything we need to have solid records regarding recruiting, and staff selection, as well as dispositioning and notes for later use...this is super helpful when your recruiting team is small, and has had some turnover, we can rest assured that the notes are there.

"Great ATS"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I like that Greenhouse is user-friendly for everyone who uses it. It's easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. I would also say that it is truly so nice to have the ability to integrate with all of the other platforms we use on a regular basis for Recruiting and HR purposes.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Some of the filtering functionalities I believe can be improved. For example, when looking through applications rather than using our Custom Fields in the profile details or in using the keyword search it would be really nice for the candidate view to pull details from the profile and allow us to select based on what it has gathered. For example: Location. Candidates' addresses are often in resumes and if not in in their application, they have the option to fill that information in the application form. If the filtering option could parse to the information in the profiles, then we could select if we have specific Location requirements. This is a function in Workday if to see a better example than what I can provide in this text. Thank you

It allows me to keep track of great candidates and also follow up with potentially great candidates for the future.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

It is difficult to link with Gem projects.

"Only ATS I've used and stick to"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I appreciate that Greenhouse provides support and resources to help users get the most out of the system, including training, documentation, and a community of users to share best practices. I also appreciate how Greenhouse integrates well with the other applications that my company uses.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse is the only ATS Ive worked with for past 6 years and I like it overall. I'd apprecaite the ability to customize interview questions and scorecards more (I.e include a chart etc). I think that some of the UI could be improved but overall am satissifed with the product.

What problems is Greenhouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps keep track of candidates we have engaged with in the past, view past interviewing records. Generating offers via GH is also seameless.

"Gorgeous onboarding tool that allows for some customization"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

The customer service I have experienced from our Greenhouse Onboarding Customer Success Director has been phenomenal. He has a lot of experience and is very clear about what the tool can and cannot do. He also gives us ideas of workarounds or what other clients have done in regard to the features that are not currently available. He also keeps us up to date with new features and planned features. Interactions leave us feeling like he is on our side and working hard for our success in Greenhouse Onboarding.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

There are limitations in regard to customization. We have spent time trying to bend the system meet the requests from our hiring managers and it has not always been possible.

What problems is Greenhouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing a consistent and "warm" new hire onboarding experience. Providing an easy to access tool where new hires can complete all requirement new hire paperwork and fields. A automated way to send notifications across our organization regarding new hire actions and tasks.
