&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Greenhouse held up well for us past the honeymoon phase, mainly because the scorecards kept hiring managers accountable even once the initial rollout excitement wore off and everyone went back to being busy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Greenhouse and Teamtailor score well but for different reasons, which matters. Greenhouse wins on structure and accountability for hiring managers. Teamtailor wins because candidates don&#39;t feel like they&#39;re trapped in an automated system. Both solve real problems, just different ones.

### Comment 3

&lt;p&gt;For mid-market recruiting, Greenhouse stands out to me because structured scorecards and defined interview plans give recruiters a consistent process even when several departments and hiring managers are involved. I’d be curious which of these platforms recruiters found easiest to keep hiring managers actively using after the initial rollout.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Rippling angle here is interesting to me, recruiting connecting directly to payroll and IT provisioning sounds useful but I&#39;d want to know how the ATS functionality itself holds up compared to a dedicated tool.&lt;/p&gt;
