Reviews of Greenhouse
Alternatives Considered:
Happy Greenhouse User
Comments: Overall pleased with Greenhouse and think it's a solid ATS.
Pros:
I chose to use Greenhouse because it was the tool that made the most sense and aligned closest with the recruiting process I built for Calendly. Their scorecards and stages are similar visual and stage how we approach recruiting perfectly. They have been incredibly innovative recently with their new features and upgrades and I continue to be impressed by the product roadmap.
Cons:
I think their reporting is not intuitive and feels clunky. I don't think they have a great visualization into pipeline for non recruiters. So if a hiring manager or executive wants to see how a specific role is progressing I don't think it's easy for them to do or see. There are also a lot of clicks to get somewhere or get back to something.
Amazing tool to simplify recruitment onboarding
Comments: Companies that wish to automate their hiring process but don't want to build their own software will find this solution useful. Due to a lack of available workflows and connectors, this is not a good fit for major corporations.
Pros:
Greenhouse was utilized for screening applications, taking interview notes, and ranking potential hires. So that we wouldn't repeat ourselves or leave anything out, Greenhouse's fundamental principles were distributed to us in advance and we were tasked with asking about those specific topics during the interviews. The hiring manager then looked over our evaluations that we had submitted.
Cons:
Build in a way for interviewees to take notes while using the site, rather than having to do it later. Applying AI to evaluate and rate how well a candidate's resume and cover letter address specific job requirements.
Feature rich ATS with loads of integration options
Pros:
I think one of the better ATSs in the market for agencies and recruitment teams, tried several. Greenhouse has one of the most mature tech stack in terms of available integrations. Integrates with sourcing tools like Calendly, HackerRank, HeroHunt.ai and DocuSign.
Cons:
What can be improved is the the automation features, it's quite hard to get an automated outreach flow going for instance.
Alternatives Considered:
Be prepared to be frustrated
Comments: This has been probably my least liked system I've worked with in a long time. I unfortunately cannot recommend it to anyone.
Pros:
Being able to schedule emails is probably the only useful thing I've gained from using this system.
Cons:
It was extremely difficult for implementation. The support during and after implementation has not been good. It's not set up in a manner where multiple people can be working on the same requisition. It also does not do well with large amount of candidates. Many of the views you have in the system are limited to seeing 10-30 individuals in a list. So if you have more candidates than that, you're adding in many clicks to navigate all your candidates.

Greenhouse is an intuitive and easy to use ATS!
Pros:
Greenhouse is easy to use for both administrators and employees involved in the interview process. The automation helps us manage a great candidate experience with less effort.
Cons:
Some job setup features, such as the interview plan, could be easier to change from other areas of the tool.
