Greenhouse Reviews & Product Details

Greenhouse is probably the most comprehensive ATS available. In my experience, it's been helpful for both smaller and larger companies. Any time I've ever had a question or didn't know how to do something, customer support has been there to help me quickly and efficiently. As a talent acquisition professional, it's the tool I use every day. Although it can seem overwhelming, I find it pretty user-friendly, from basic use to its ease of integration with other tools we use internally. Implementation is pretty simple as well for both non-tech-savvy users and experts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that makes Greenhouse stand out the most is the amount of customization you can have across all jobs. This, however, comes at a price: it's very easy to end up with messy data with all that customization if teams aren't on top of consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how flexible Greenhouse is when it comes to setting up every aspect, whether it be permissions or job-based.

The interface is generally easy enough to navigate that most new hiring managers need minimal training to get started.

The Greenhouse team is very helpful and knowledgeable and always willing to help with any issues and suggest solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The email relay they use has issues with ending up in spam and junk folders, this can be remedied but it does crop up again from time to time. It would seem something they should be working to fix given their competitors use a different system to prevent this.

It would benefit from a view as a feature so that you can easily see permission-level views, instead of needing to create an account to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greenhouse is very intuitive and easy to operate as an ATS. I really like the end-to-end workflow from requisition creation, approvals, and candidate applications to sourcing and managing interviews. It’s seamless to export candidate profiles directly from LinkedIn into Greenhouse, and the offer process is simple and efficient. I also appreciate the flexibility to customize or add fields based on regional requirements, and the dashboard provides clear, actionable data for quick insights.

I see an opportunity to improve the search functionality so it can retrieve more relevant candidate results from the entire database. Enhancing keyword matching and filtering would make it even more effective for recruiters handling large volumes of profiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Greenhouse incredibly user-friendly, which stands out compared to other similar software like Workday and Taleo. Its intuitive interface significantly reduces the ramp-up time for our TA team, making onboarding much quicker and more seamless. I appreciate the excellent support team, consisting of chat and assigned customer success managers, who are consistently responsive to immediate concerns. The product team is impressive, constantly iterating and rolling out new features that enhance the usability of Greenhouse for talent acquisition teams. Moreover, Greenhouse integrates effectively with other platforms within our tech stack, such as Calendly, BrightHire, and UKG, which streamlines various processes such as scheduling and interview management. Overall, Greenhouse makes the application process easy for candidates and simplifies our recruiting efforts across the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features are not currently built into Greenhouse. I want a feature that allows copying permissions from one user to another, which would streamline the process of managing user roles. Additionally, the lack of capability to revise referral links and the limited fields available for API connections are constraints that need attention. The integration with Calendly could be enhanced to allow scheduling directly from the candidate view instead of just the candidate pipeline view. Also, the filters in the candidate search/application review section need to be more effective, which would improve the overall recruitment workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting capabilities could be more advanced, especially for detailed or custom metrics. The mobile app needs to be improved. It offers very little functionality. It's hard to navigate and the usability is very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greenhouse has become an indispensable part of our tech stack. Even as a small team with a heavy workload, we’re able to move fast and perform at a high level - thanks in large part to tools like Greenhouse that support our agility and impact as a Talent Acquisition team.

It’s a powerhouse (in the best way). The platform is flexible and packed with functionality, so whenever we run into a challenge or want to try something new, there’s almost always a way to make it happen within Greenhouse. It’s definitely built for teams that move fast and need systems that can keep up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’ve identified a few areas where Greenhouse could be fine-tuned to better align with our specific business needs. These aren’t major platform issues - more so nuanced use cases that, if addressed, would help us get even more value from an already strong system.

While we don’t have an ongoing need or the bandwidth to regularly engage with the advanced support options Greenhouse offers, we would really benefit from a deeper system review 2-3x per year. These periodic check-ins would help us optimize our setup and ensure we’re staying current with new features and platform improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greenhouse makes hiring less of a circus act. The interface is clean, automations save a ton of time, and collaboration between recruiters and managers actually works smoothly. It’s like someone finally built an ATS that doesn’t hate its users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greenhouse can feel a bit too structured. Customization is limited, reporting can be clunky unless you’re a spreadsheet wizard, and integrations occasionally throw tantrums. It’s powerful, but you’ll probably need patience and coffee to make it bend to your workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is incredibly user-friendly and highly customizable, making it easy to tailor it to our specific hiring needs. It has greatly streamlined our recruitment process, from posting jobs to managing candidates, all in one seamless platform.

The implementation team was phenomenal – they provided expert guidance every step of the way and were always available to help with any questions or challenges. Their support made the transition smooth and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few quirks that can be a bit frustrating. For example, Hiring Managers can't set themselves as the Hiring Manager for Offer Approval purposes when submitting a job. This requires a bit of a workaround, which adds extra steps to what should be a simple process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a highly intelligent ATS that offers a wide range of customization options tailored to different contexts. It enables you to work in an efficient, integrated, and comprehensive manner. One of its greatest strengths is the depth it provides for data analysis, allowing you to explore insights extensively.

During the implementation phase, Greenhouse's Team was extremely attentious and made everything easiest. Even with some language and cultures difference, they didn't made it a barrior and was always putting a lot of effort on making it as soft as it could. This was very important for us to have a successful implementation and Roll Out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the interface is straightforward and the features and icons are logically organized at each stage of the journey, I feel it could be made a bit more user-friendly. Additionally, some custom field details do not always fit the needs of users from other countries and cultures, like Brazil. It would be great to have options for further localization to better accommodate customers of different nationalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Greenhouse's excellent scheduling capabilities, which make organizing interviews much more streamlined. Its ability to integrate seamlessly with other software, especially Metaview, is incredibly beneficial. This integration allows us to automatically sync interview transcripts with candidate profiles, enhancing our workflow efficiency. Additionally, Greenhouse’s intuitive design and comprehensive features meet all our needs as an applicant tracking system. I also find the automation and AI functionalities they have implemented recently to be of great utility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to see a natural language prompt that allows me to find candidates in our candidate database similar to a ChatGPT prompt. I'd also like to see that for reporting, where I could use a natural language prompt to generate certain views or reports or dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
