Greenhouse Software

Pros

very easy to automate workflows, great UI, easy to learn as a manager, great filtering capabilities, love this tool!

Cons

It's not super intuitive to know how to automate the sharing of job postings through your social channels. It works, but it's hard to know how to turn it off or edit it.

Pros

I have used Greenhouse as a way to view candidates currently in my organization's recruiting pool. It's easy to go through the candidates and see their information & resumes. Also shows the current state of the candidate in the process.

Cons

It could be frustrating if you don't see all information about a candidate and don't know why (the reason could be you haven't been granted permission).

Pros

It's a crm for applicant tracking. It does its job with free frills. Ability to integrate with calendars is a major value driver for scheduling

Cons

UI is poor and often hard to navigate. Some functionality like groups of people assessing candidates is harder than it needs to be

Pros

I love how easy it is to move candidates through process.

Cons

Sometimes, and this is pretty rare, you can accidentally add a duplicate.

Great piece of software with a bad support however, if they improve this part of business it would be a huge competition for Workable and Lever.

Pros

Overall Greenhouse is a great piece of software and real kudos for their engineering and design team. It has more than 200+ integrations which is incomparable to any other ATS system. It has an option to invite third parties to participate in recruitment processes (eg. recruitment agency or RPO agency) what is great in todays' world. There is a full GDPR support, clear UI (however worse than Lever and Workable) and a lot of additional products to expand capabilities of Lever.

Cons

Customer Support, it is really slow and sometimes I didn't get any answer from them. I asked more than three times to contact me because I'm interested in buying Greenhouse and they didn't respond at all. It per se convinced me not to recommend this product.

Reviewing candidates for external hires and promotions.

Pros

I can quickly and easily review candidates I interview to hire or to let recruiting know I am not moving forward. I also like the referral feature for internal purposes.

Cons

There are more steps to go through for reviewing candidates than the old software my company used (Workday).

Pros

Greenhouse has made tracking candidates so much easier! Having the ability to track referrals has been amazing.

Cons

I have no complaints so far with Greenhouse!

Pros

Very easy to navigate and learn. Customer support is quick and fast with a lot of online resources. Provide great templates for interviewing and interview kits. Integrates with a lot of sourcing platforms.

Cons

Pretty solid platform. It is a bit pricey.

It's been great! The one time I noticed a bug, the support team was extremely helpful and it was resolved within an hour of me noticing. They even sent me an email to let me know once it was resolved. Otherwise, it is super streamlined and easy to understand- I think anyone could come in and understand how to use it without in depth training.

Pros

Ease of use, very intuitive. You can also run reports to analyze data through it to figure out hiring trends and come up with better plans.

Cons

No cons that I can think of- sometime it does not sync perfectly to other apps, but its hard to say if that is a Greenhouse issue or an issue with the other apps.

The best ATS on the market

Pros

The flexibility and the customer support and partnership

Cons

Nothing - they continue to integrate with new vendors and are open to adding new features

Overall, I am glad we use Greenhouse. It is not fully perfect as a software, but it is certainly helpful and has interesting bells and whistles.

Pros

Greenhouse is what we use to bring together our recruiting team and hiring managers when finding the perfect fit for our company. It's aesthetically pleasing, very helpful for creating a complete tracking system for candidates, and shines brightest as a space to collectively share our thoughts on candidates. We use greenhouse religiously at my company, and I like the transparency that the service provides.

Some additional helpful tools: Greenhouse allows you the ability to customize questions/fields for applicants, which helps us to identify the strongest candidates at the submitting stage. You can also track how well your posting is doing -- it tracks where applicants come in from, which is helpful for our hiring team.

Cons

As mentioned in the title, the software is not fully intuitive. I've spent more time than I like clicking around trying to find a candidates original resume and cover letter. It feels like some features are buried or hard to find -- Greenhouse could do some work to direct traffic a bit better.

Pros

Greenhouse is super awesome. I love my specific dashboard that is updated and has lists of things I need to get done every day. Creating candidate profiles is easy, moving through the interview process is easy, and I love that I can tag the hiring manager in a profile to have them review.

Cons

I don't like how difficult it is to change interviewers after an interview is scheduled. It makes it challenging to send them new scorecards.

I love using it for recruiting metrics and allowing our team to see instant results.

Pros

It's so easy to use and intuitive to exactly what needs to be done! It's great for tracking candidates and knowing what needs to be done next.

Cons

I wish this integrated with other softwares, but other than that, no complaints!

This is my favourite ATS. Definitely recommend it for a company 100 people + looking to continue growing.

Pros

Fantastic Integrations
Easy to use
Clean UI
Great for team collaboration
Interview tool kits and prep for hiring teams
live chat - which is fantastic! As other ATS's get back to you in 24-48 hours
You can change interview workflows in real time
Great in depth reporting system

Cons

The only thing that could be made easier is closing off a req that is attached to multiple req ID's. The numbers make it a bit confusing.

My overall experience with Greenhouse is it has greatly increased my recruiting efficiency, allows me to pull reports and use recruiting data to help properly forumulate hiring goals and time.

Pros

The ability to pull reports and share in an easily viewable mode with hiring managers and executives is excellent. Also, it makes candidate maangement incrediblly simple and automated.

Cons

The one con of Greenhouse is the ability to search for jobs when they are multiple jobs of similiar names.

Pros

Streamlines approvals and the posting of openings immensely! Very easy for all employees to add referrals.

Cons

Overall easy to use tool, but there are some UI experiences that could be improved. Once a candidates is posted, it's not intuitive to find and see their custom information, particularly if you've asked questions as part of a form.

Pros

Greenhouse is a great online platform when it comes to hiring. Our recruitment head let me use this when we were looking for more team members and I absolutely love how minimal yet detailed the entire software is. The best thing I loved using is seeing what other company members think about potential hires, which makes it a lot easier to assess candidates. Absolute must for recruiters and HR professionals.

Cons

Based on using it, I don't remember anything that really made the experience unpleasant so no cons for now.

As mentioned, we use this software exclusively to manage our hiring process and have found tremendous benefit in using it.

Pros

Very well structured and allows you to track progress of hiring candidates very well. Publishing vacancies to online job boards are so easy.

Cons

Not really a problem, but I've found sometimes that the pre-set questions for interviews sometimes stifle you if you're not careful. The reminder to fill in scorecards are also a bit of a pain, but in a good way since it forces you to formalise your thoughts.

Great experience -I've recommended it to at least 3-4 other tech companies and have completed user research studies and given product feedback to help enhance the product experience. Greenhouse really listens to their customers' wants and needs and tries their best to build it into the product roadmap for you, and most times they do.

Pros

I've been a greenhouse user across 2 different tech/startup companies and it is the ONLY ATS that I would trust to handle and manage all of our candidate processes. The UI/UX is seamless and easy to use, and the reporting/metrics are very user-friendly for pulling. Greenhouse is the modern recruiter's best tool to keep things organized and flowing nicely, ensuring that no candidate slips through the cracks and by providing visibility to hiring managers and teams.

Cons

Greenhouse is a pricey software, so be aware that it is an investment, but one that will help streamline any recruiting process. Greenhouse is constantly updating/changing the interface (usually to improve the experience), so don't be surprised if you log in one day and all the sudden can't find something where it used to be. But their customer service is really good if you do happen to run into any questions/concerns.

Pros

It was easy to record my feedback and I had a simple template to fill out when I finished my interview.

Cons

I am not sure how effectively the feedback was used in the final selection process.
