"Effective & Efficient ATS"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I love that it integrates with a lot of other programs like LinkedIn, Calendy, GSuite and there is a lot of reporting that can be done. Easy system to use and gets the job done.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

I wish it was a little more updated in terms of usage and things were more straightforward. There are a lot of functions in the ATS so sometimes you have to dig to get the information, this system may be difficult to use for someone early in their career in terms of navigation and using it effectively.

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

Saving time by rejecting out candidates that don't answer the right questions at the top of the funnel, booking phone screens right into my calendar, integration with calendy is very helpful

"Greenhouse is the right tool for start-ups as they scale from 0-1k employees"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

ease of use, decent landing page, the activity feed for each candidate is great, ability to assign specific hiring manager permissions, setting up approval chains, and uploading NDAs.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

There is some work that needs to be done with some of their integrations (DocuSign, HiBob) which prevented me from giving it a ten. Would also like the ability to have the option of downloading all previous scorecards, not just the ones from the specific job, so if you had a candidate that you previously considered, you could add those old scorecards to your bundle if they addded/diluted value.

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

executing recruiting tasks, keeping track of candidate journey, generating recruiting reports to understand talent acquisition metrics

"Greenhouse Review"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I think the user experience as a recruiter is really strong. It has a clear visusal element, which makes it simple to use and follow the workflow of a recruitment process.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

At the moment I use the option of adding pre-qualifying questions to my adverts, however we're unable to search candidates based on their answers For exmaple if would be able to search for candidates we'd be unable to support relocation or visa support, or if their salary expectations were out of our budget.

"Good solution for SME"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Candidate tracking is good. Workflow is easy to set up. Highly customizable. Many fetures (a lot of which we have no use for...) Makes a smaller firm look very professional to candidates.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

can be difficult to master for the "occasional user . Pricing is not based on usage or number of user but rather on total headcount of yoru company which seems very unfair. support is via text unless you want to pay more

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

Managing many applicants with few resources

"Useful ATS compared to existing options, some areas for improvement"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse's dashboard UI provides an easy way to review the open roles, to-do list items, and applications in one snapshot for streamlined review. The ability for stage transitions between interview stages helps automate recruiting processes, as well the ability to copy role setups helps decrease the manual effort to create and post a job live.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Integration with LinkedIn Recruiter can be improved. Whenever I convert a propsect into a candidate, I have to select which role the prospect is for, although I make that selection when adding it to Greennhouse from LinkedIn Recruiter. In terms of new features, creating the ability to track interviewer training would be really helpful so recruiters can see how many new interviewers need to shadow before being fully ramped up.

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

Greenhouse helps track all activity for recruiting, including job posts, candidate, LinkedIn Recruiter prospects, and tracking which platforms candidates are using to apply to our roles. This one-stop shop type of approach helps decrease possibilities fo missing information and being able to refer to information in a clear, efficient way.

"User Friendly ATS with Amazing Support"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse is easy to use from an end user perspective (interviewers & recruiters). It's easy to see what candidates you're set up to interview, view their application, and any previous activity that's happened with them. Additionally, the administrative controls are pretty strong -- permissioning is customizable and relatively easy. It's also easy to integrate with job sites like Linkedin to drive more applications. Lastly, the support is phenomenal. Most chat support functions for SaaS products are severely lacking, but Greenhouse has done a fanastic job on theirs. The support agents respond quickly and know the product. I've interacted with them countless times and am always impressed.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

The native reporting functionality could use some work. The canned reports are relatively inflexible and it's hard to get the data into a more usable format absent hooking it up to a BI tool. If you want real insights, it's likely you'll have to download data into a spreadsheet tool.

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

Helping us source candidates, manage interview processes, and collect data to improve our recruiting efforts.

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

Easy to use. The team always comes up with new features. They listen to the feedback we provide and deliver. I like that the different stages can easily be personalized. I allows a smooth team work.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

CRM function could be better. More specifically, once the requisition is filled, I wish we were capable to maintain visibility of past candidates and easily be able to reach out. Also, I wish it was possible to schedule a call with a prospect, without housing them in a specific req.

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

We use Greenhouse as ATS. I work and communicate with different hiring managers, and recommend candidates to my other fellow recruiters. It saves time to just be able to tag a candidate. I also like the different ways you can integrate other systems into Greenhouse.

"Greenhouse Review"
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Easy to use interface. Able to customize quite a lot of different options.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Sometimes there are odd glitches, i.e - when turning candidates down via emails sent from GH you have to constantly select when you'd like to send the email from a drop-down.

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

GH is doing a great job keeping candidates organized for me. What I love is the tagging option, where you can keep tabs on your silver medalist candidates. It also allows me more time to work on other projects due to streamlining processes.
