Greenhouse Software

Greenhouse is a tool that is looking to make the hiring experience the best one possible. The tool is intuitive and makes interview confirmations a dream.

Pros

Intuitive
Easy to create a hiring experience from start to finish.
Makes sending interview confirmations easy.

Cons

Reporting is not as easy as it is in Lever.

My company uses this for internal jobs that are available. I go into it often but i only stick to using a couple things with the program.

Pros

Very easy to use and to navigate. Functions work smooth and properly.

Cons

Seems cluttered and not appealing to the eye. Usage of the application seems minimal.

It's been good thus far.

Pros

Greenhouse has a top end tool that has been great for referring potential candidates.

Cons

It's a new system and I'm not as familiar with it as I was the last tool we were using.

Pros

Job boards are easily browsed and sorted.

Cons

The entire application needs a better education focus for non-recruitment users.

It creates a helpful path from finding a candidate to their first day on the job.

Pros

This software is extremely intuitive and supremely easy to use. Love to use it to be able to post jobs across multiple job boards.

Cons

The biggest gripe I have is that it is relatively expensive and our HR team has had to really find a way to justify it each year.

Pros

Our HR department says Greenhouse makes it super easy to put together all the basic details you'd expect in a serious job listing.

Cons

The API can be a little counterintuitive at times.

Pros

I like that you can track your applicants and people that you have referred. When interviewing people I think that it is a smooth process of grading candidates and leaving feedback in one consistent area.

Cons

Greenhouse is the best software I have used for recruting but to be fair I haven't used many others.

Would recommend but requires initial investment to make work for your org.

Pros

Easy to use once set up. Makes team hiring much easier.

Cons

Lot of work to set up initially in a way that is useful and easy to use.

Overall, I find that this is an easy tool to navigate and it helps with the administrative work tremendously.

Pros

The software allows us to have all of the information relating to the job opening in one location - from posting to hire.

Cons

I would like it if the interview reminder also pointed out that there is a scorecard for use before you hold the meeting. There are scorecard questions that would help in the interview, but you are not notified about them until you are prompted about the scorecard and dig into the email and links. Make it easier to pull that out for the interviewer.
The software is also not compatible with some search sites. This should be made clear early in the vetting.

Very simple to use- really good UI and UX.

Pros

It is extremely intuitive- very easy to look up jobs, candidates, etc. Did not even need training on it because I could understand it just from exploring the site- makes a lot of sense.

Cons

Nothing really that I can think of actually- I have only used one other ATS and this is far superior so I have no complaints.

excellent experience

Pros

Very intuitive interface, even for first time users. There is no learning curve, from adding candidates to submitting interview feedback. I especially like the "Fly on the wall" feature which allows you to leave notes to other interviewers and recruiters about candidates. You can also get nice dashboard reports of all your open reqs. Never had any performance issues with this site.

Cons

Overall there wasn't a lot I didn't like. The mobile app is pretty spartan, but that's fine for this type of service.

Pros

Very easy interface for candidates which is so important that they have an easy experience as to not scare candidates away.

Cons

The reporting on the back-end is super weak and at least when I was a user it only had a handful of canned reports. Could not get some very basic reporting out of the system.

Pros

GH covers all aspects of the hiring process I consider relevant as a hiring manager (I can't rate the tool from an HR perspective). It's really very very complete. Some parts of GH are very efficient, for example the CV screening UI and the process of sending rejections, which can be scheduled. Collaboration between HR, hiring manager and different interviewers is generally well done.

Cons

The downside to GH is the generally chaotic UI. As someone who uses GH every few months rather than daily, which is probably typical for hiring managers, I find myself hunting for pieces of information (basic candidate information, take home test submission, etc.) and not finding them where I expect them.

Also, sometimes CVs and other external information won't load immediately.

Overall, poor. I use it weekly and for the day to day purposes it's fine but always leaves me frustrated when I try and do anything the most basic function.

Pros

It's pretty simple and keeps everything in one place.

Cons

I can never seem to find old applicants, resumes or anything. The search function is pretty poor and leaves me frustrated. I usually give up when trying to find certain details or information on ANY past canidate.

Pros

Greenhouse provide a customizable experience to any growing company's recruiting program -- the analytics are complete, and the employee dashboard is great.

Cons

I really have had no problems with this software so far. Nothing bad to report!

Pros

The integration with Google Calendar is AMAZING. The ability to change events/times/etc within the calendar and have it reflect within Greenhouse is great and makes for much easier scheduling.

Cons

The fact that I can't send and receive within Greenhouse (or at least have all the emails tracked) can be rough. It can get confusing and hard to keep track within your own email about all the candidates that you have to coordinate with. If you could track your emails it would be amazing.

Pros

I liked that it no only housed candidate resumes but also allowed you to score them and give a summary of how their interview went. The platform is pretty easy to navigate too.

Cons

There wasn't anything standing out that I didn't like about this platform. It's pretty easy to use.

I had my experience with this application when it was IT support, and among them was HR, as well as others, it offers many good things at personnel selection levels.

Pros

I like its interface, in the same way I think that at the recruitment level the HR processes for companies can improve, without any hint, it is evident that it must improve in its processes so that the search of personnel becomes effective.

Cons

really the application is very striking and has things that are worthwhile as a client, however, not everything is good, there are things that in its interface do not have levels of recruitment, for user or client a good application structure is necessary.

Overall I really like using greenhouse

Pros

I like that this software allows me to easily see all available opportunities within my organization and apply with the click of the mouse.

Cons

It can be difficult to navigate at first

Pros

Being highly customizable, this software is perfect while you organize a recruitment operation. Employee Dashboard, analytics, Job Setup etc. has helped to make my job easier. It improves interaction at every touch point and builds a unique hiring plan for different roles. Especially the referral process features like posting and tracking on social media are my favorites. They provide workflows along with approvals. Among these pros, one other I would like to mention is the amazing customer service. Very professional and to the point, they are always solution oriented and efficient. They ensure great analytics, that by checking out the weekly reports on recruitments, you can track the levels of activity and you can add notes and use scorecards for applicants. Much more than a normal ATS, Greenhouse can really step up your game for you.

Cons

Even though there are a variety of reports readily available, I still should create my own in excel by exporting data from outside the application. The absence of a mail merge feature. The search capabilities require improvement. A feature to compare and analyze different candidates would be helpful.
