"100% will ALWAYS use greenhouse as my ATS!"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I love how easy it is to use for all applicants. This ATS integrates with all the things I need and love that I have the option to schedule interviews within the software but also on Google if preferred. I just love how intuitive Greenhouse is and all the features that is incorporated in the software (reminders, reporting, integrations, calendly, etc.)

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

The reports section is a bit hard to navigate through as well as the filtering of candidates. I want to see candidates who have a specific thing, and I think it's to filter those things out. I'd love to access videos on how to best build out reports easily.

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

We have been able to integrate CrossChq with Greenhouse and Criteria and all the other systems we use, which is impressive because it makes it so easy to communicate with candidates. I've also learned how to use tags to track better the types of candidates we are interviewing and hiring.

I like Greenhouse Support and reporting the best. These are both functions that I make use of consistently.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

I genuinely don't dislike anything about the platform.

We can dive into data and understand where our applicants are coming from, the quality, and much more! This has helped us create strategies and processes to allow our teams to be more efficient and hire top-quality talent.

"User-friendly and Straight Forward ATS Platform"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse is very straightforward and easy to navigate. Menus are not hidden, it is easy to see where candidates are in the pipeline and what tasks are outstanding for hiring managers. Your dashboard and each job dashboard have all the information you would need to organize your time and resources. It allows us to get back to candidates in a timely manner and make sure that no one goes without a response from the company.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

There are a few things missing that could be useful for our industry, however, they do not negatively reflect on the product. Job post request forms are currently a pain point, though this feature has just been released in Greenhouse. Re-hiring candidates is also a bit convoluted but not impossible.

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

Greenhouse has helped us move away from multiple Google Sheets and has saved our recruiters countless hours of manual data input. Our hiring process is a lot more smooth and more efficient. Hiring managers are more involved in the hiring process and recruitment timelines have improved - less time from application to hire.

"Makes keeping track of candidates and interviews a breeze"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I love how easy it is to communicate with hiring managers and get the interview process rolling. All of our notes are in one place, and it's such a seamless experience.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

The number of clicks to get somewhere can be redundant, but once you find your "way," you'll be good to go. I also don't like how you have to follow every individuual candidate to get updates on them. If I added them, I want to know what they're up to!

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

I am solving the problem of not being able to gett ahold of hiring managers in a timely fashion and sharing my phone screen notes directly with them in one place.

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

The benefits that i have realized are that i have used it to refer many of my friends to different jobs. My company also keeps a track of wh was referred by who through greenhouse,

"Greenhouse helped me move quickly on candidates and become a better recruiter"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Recruiting can be like diving into a rabbit hole. Thankfully, Greenhouse makes things simple with solid workflows, thoughtful design and a fast, modern platform. I think the real-time reporting is awesome, and the analytics helped me manage my time (and expectations) throughout the process. I was not only able to find great people, but also reduce my own biases, ensuring a fairer process for everyone involved.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

It would be great is if teams could get notified when a background check doesn't complete by a certain date (e.g., start date).

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

We are trying to scale and win by finding great talent and providing all candidates with a great experience.

"Greenhouse- A Recruiters Dream"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

You can keep track of all your applicants, what phase they're in, automatically reject, schedule interviews with Microsoft Teams links and so much more! The company I work for uses Greenhouse multiple times daily to reject, advance, keep track of their scores in Greenhouse's partnering systems (ex: Greenhouse lets us incorporate OutMatch and WePow along with many other platforms) so we aren't switching back and forth to multiple tabs. I had never used Greenhouse before switching to my current company and it is very easy to learn and navigate.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

My only request for Greenhouse would be to integrate a way to bulk schedule interviews (we use outlook and not Calendly). For example, we do panel interviews at my company; we schedule 5 candidates at a time for 2 evaluators. I would love if there was a way to bulk select candidates and invite them to an interview with 2 of our candidate evaluators rather than go through each individual profile to set up interviews. It would save so much time for me as a coordinator.

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

We get hundreds of applications a day and trying to remember which stage they're in or if they've been sent an email already is kept track in Greenhouse.

"Excellent tool for objective and standardized hiring processes"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

The ease of use for recruiters, hiring managers, and coordinators is great. What we particularly like is the ability to anonymize aspects of the recruitment process; the ability to collect demographic data to help us improve our sourcing and selection process; the reporting functions; and the various integrations for background/reference checking, etc.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

I would love to see a way for applicants to have a portal to update their information after submission and to receive a copy of their application for their records. In the reports, I'd like there to be an option for any report to customize the time period, as this is not possible for all reports.

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

We are seeing smoother overall processes, more accountability on checking biases, better coordination of hiring teams, and efficient scheduling. There are many benefits that I'm sure I am forgetting.

"Amazing software for Hiring Managers"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

We use Greenhouse across our organization to submit referrals through internal job postings. When a job from my department is posted and I am included in the hiring process, Greenhouses aids in reviewing the application of candidates. We also post jobs on Greenhouse, and it helps in smoothening up the hiring process. It also helos in social recruiting as we can directly share job links from Greenhouse to Platforms like Linkedin and Twitter.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Although the User interface is incredibly smooth and user friendly, there are certain features that get concealed.

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

The best part is during Candidate interviews; we can give notes and mention the strengths and weaknesses of an interviewed candidate for the next interviewer and see various stages of any candidate, run background checks and create and send offer letters on the spot. I specially enjoy the ability to add resumed to the pool and mention the hiring managers to have a look at the candidates. The flexibilty to custom create notification is amazing, with this I can opt for alerts I feel are relevant to me.

"So thorough!"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I just started using Greenhouse and posted our first job. It's the most robust platform I've used for standardizing the interview process. It's very guided and the webinars really help me figure out what I need to do on a large scale but also on a granular level.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

I added a 'Review With Others' step to my interview plan that needs to be step 2. However, the only options during the reviewing process are Advance, Skip, or Reject. I'd like the option for 'move to X step'. This additional stage is when I come across an applicant that I'm unsure about due to me not having enough knowledge on the department. For example, I'm an Operations Manager that's reviewing applications and phone screening for a Financial Analyst. Some applicants use jargon that sounds good, but I need to review with our Director of Development before deciding.

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

I'm still in the overwhelmed stage of learning how to hire for our small company of 6. I hope it solves all my problems. It's very organized and everyone has a log in which is a good start.

"I have been a Greenhouse user for over 3 years now and can strongly recommend this system."
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse has a lot of different functionalities while being a very user-friendly platform. It continues to implement new features to facilitate an ideal hiring experience, not only for the internal recruiters but the candidates as well. I appreciate all of the integrations that Greenhouse offers, their support materials, and our Customer Success support thus far!

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

The reporting and analytics that Greenhouse offers could be better.

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

Organizing and streamlining our recruitment process. The CRM tool has allowed us to keep in touch with prospective candidates for future opportunities and continue to strengthen our network. Additionally, we have learned to pull reports on where we are finding our best talent within different departments and how to source more efficiently. Greenhouse supports our referral program, by keeping track of candidates who are referrals, as well as, how user friendly it is for a hiring manager completing a scorecard.

"Excellent ATR"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I believe that the ease of use and the training manuals are the best feature. I feel that the option to link it to Google Sheets and other sourcing tools makes reporting as well as sourcing a breeze. Definitely delighted with the features. Has been an awesome addition to our organization's hiring process. Its also very easy to use for applicants and the applications can be made pretty quickly

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

I think it would be great if this could be integrated with Naukri, iimjobs and Monser India as applications from those tools cannot be viewed on Greenhouse. Another feature I feel that could be simplified is the bulk reject option.

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

We were using Breezy before and I feel that a lot of things are automated and easier to use on Greenhouse. It's more recruiter and user-friendly I feel. My entire team is happier using Greenhouse.

"Hiring to Onboarding Made Simple"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse's Onboarding product makes welcoming new teammates easy, fun, and engaging. When used in tandem with ATS, it makes the workflow from offer letters to the first day of work seamless for all stakeholders.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

I wish the welcome experience were more customizable within the app, i.e., customization of fonts, colors, etc., without designing in third-party software. It would also be great to advance schedule "start onboarding" for a set date and time.

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

Greenhouse allows us to hire great candidates quickly and helps us to get them acquainted with their teammates before they even join. The welcome experience has aided in boosting our New Hire eNPS by over 40 points in the last year.

"A Nifty Platform for Internal Job Postings and Referrals"

The interface is clean and easy to use. So easy, in fact, I even found my current job using the internal job board at my company! I've also utilized it to refer an acquaintance of mine who I thought would be a great fit at our company.

"Easy to refer people for open positions!"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse makes it easy to share open positions at my company with friends, family, and connections on LinkedIn. Greenhouse ensures that any signups through my referral link are tied back to me, so I receive my company benefits!

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Sometimes people can avoid using the Greenhouse link, and I wish there was an automated way of tying those applications back to my Greenhouse link without me needing to reach out to HR. That isn't a massive issue, though.

What do you like best about Greenhouse?

The overall platform is so streamlined and the process of review, move to next stages, and scheduling is so straightforward and easy to navigate. The integration of making video conferencing is my best friend and takes pain away from having to manually make rooms.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Sometimes when I have to reschedule interviews, the interface can get clunky. If I have to change or request new availability, sometimes greenhouse will hiccup and make the process a little more challenging. It will add a couple unnecessary steps to complete.

"Overall a great product for small and medium sized businesses"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

This is my second organization using GH, I really enjoy it. It is incredibly user-friendly and easy to navigate. I like the privacy settings that enable the hiring team to view specific candidates. It has a lot of what recruiting needs. Really like the new DEI features and hope they improve them. They are constantly adding new features which is great.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Support is overall good. I've had a couple more complex cases that they weren't the best at solving, but eventually, everything worked out. I would love to see more DEI features rolled out, like blind application review.I would love to see more robust reporting capabilities and more dashboarding would be amazing. Sometimes the reports are incorrect or lacking specific data - would love to see that improved as well.
