Greenhouse is a great collaborative tool so an entire team can keep an eye on all of the candidates coming in. It's easy to delegate work and still have great visibility Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Making sure everyone has the appropriate permissions is important but it is also tedius and frustrating when you can't complete a task based on your lack of permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it will track applicates per job posted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It does not have a Do not use future, only a do not contact for email. Should be clear when a candidate we have talked to and had a bad experience with is a DNU.
I dont like when your browsing applicants you can not continue past 30 resumes. i dont like when you merge a duplicate profile that it brakes the search to tab through the 30 candidates.
You cant search numbers really in greenhouse, it has to be a specific format or it wont find it, even then with correct numbers often it wont find it.
Search partial names and most of the time it wont find your candidates.
duplicate profiles pop up all the time and they just use a different email but they stem wont show as duplicate profile, greenhouse should have a way of identifying if resumes are similar based on a name.
Have an easier way to merge profiles that they system does not automatically detect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's one of the best, most streamlined and user-friendly ATS I've used. The interface isnt overcrowded, everything you need is easily accessible, you can customize as you need.
The implementation roadmap makes the whole process a breeze and it's easy to get support as needed. Their chat feature is 10/10.
Being a TA manager, I use the platform daily and it helps me stay of top of my multiple positions. It also makes collaboration with hiring managers and other interviewers much easier. When they release new features, I find they're well thought of and on point. The AI feature is great and helpful to pinpoint relevant candidate more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The admin side is a little more chaotic, it would need a little more TLC to be easier to figure out.
Adding more "preview" options while customizing would be great also.
Improving quality of the French translation is needed.
Adding a Microsoft Teams integration would make it much better, just like their Slack integration I've used before.
The integration with Bamboo HR is not working great, but I believe it's due to issues on the Bamboo side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greenhouse has completely transformed the way I manage recruiting. It makes my life so much easier I always know exactly where I’m at in the hiring process, what I need to do next, and nothing ever falls through the cracks. Everything is beautifully organized, from candidate communications to interview feedback, and it all flows seamlessly.
One of my favorite features is the reporting. It’s honestly amazing. I can pull all the stats I could ever need in just a few clicks pipeline health, time-to-hire, source quality, you name it. Whether I need a high level overview or a deep dive into specifics, the data is right there and super easy to use.
Greenhouse keeps all my accounts in perfect order, helps me stay on top of every step, and gives me full confidence in the entire hiring process. If you're in recruiting and want a tool that truly supports you, this is it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing, its literally leaps and bounds better than Taleo Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greenhouse stands out for its intuitive interface and customizable workflows. I especially like how easy it is to collaborate with hiring managers and keep everyone aligned throughout the recruitment process. The scorecards and structured interview kits help create a consistent and fair evaluation process, which has been a game-changer for improving candidate experience and hiring quality. The reporting dashboard is also super helpful for tracking pipeline progress and identifying bottlenecks quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Greenhouse is a powerful tool, the reporting features could be a bit more user-friendly for non-technical users. Some of the custom report building can feel a little clunky, especially when trying to pull very specific data points. Additionally, the integration setup with certain HRIS platforms sometimes requires extra support to get everything working smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've used Greenhouse every day for nearly 4 years.
I sincerely appreciate how user-friendly the interface is and have really enjoyed some of the recent time-saving upgrades.
Another thing-- I *LOOOVE* the Pipeline view to quickly move through a high volume of applications, and I love that now you can see the custom application questions at the top.
The historical data is irreplaceable. Very helpful to see a candidate has applied previously and why they were not selected/ whether we want to talk to them again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One small thing-- when a candidate applies in one role, but you want to move them over to another position that is a better fit- that experience is a little clunky. Information can get lost. No bueno. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greenhouse is easy to navigate and has great integrations with necessary apps. We find it easy to train on, especially with the help tools. We are able to use the recruiting side as well as the onboarding side to keep all new hire processes streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We wish there were better reporting, that would include better views on time reqs were opened then closed, number of candidates, start date, pay range, etc in one report. Also, a direct help phone number instead of chat would help for things we need immediate answers on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greenhouse is very user friendly and offers multiple levels of functionality and integrations to support all levels of the recruitment process, to include sourcing, internal company recruitment, and external candidate user experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While there are many integrations, some of the integrations with other software tools can be a bit manual. As such, the use of the integrations sometimes becomes redundant, as it might be simpler to use the external software itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greenhouse houses everything you need to make your interview experience successful for both hiring teams and candidates. There are customizations, templates and reminders to help make your process unique, and focused on diversity at every turn. It's a great all in one tool for recruitment teams. You can find reporting functionality for any part of the process, and honestly they are always coming up with new reporting features! It's truly an awesome tool- I enjoy using it very much as does my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some tools integrations you have to refresh regularly which can get annoying, also the reporting isn't as robust as say Looker or another actual reporting tool. Some hiring managers who have never used Greenhouse struggle to find things and comment on usability. But, most get it eventually with some direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We implemented Greenhouse about three years ago- and compared it against several other options but decided on Greenhouse based on value and the many integrations they offered. We love that it has a lot of customizability with an interface that is easy to learn and work within. I love that they make it easy to make their product work for your hiring team, while also encouraging good habits and good record-keeping. They are open to ideas for improvement and added functionality, and I especially appreciate how proactive they are about sharing their product roadmap. They have great training tools for all levels of users and are incredibly mindful of the candidate experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A minor issue, but wish they had a bit more customizability with the job kick-off, and allowed forms and attachments for jobs not just candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greenhouse does a great job at organizing candidate pipelines and making the recruiting workflow feel structured and trackable. Its customizable scorecards, interview kits, and integration capabilities with tools like LinkedIn and Calendly help create a much more consistent and professional candidate experience. I appreciate how easy it is to collaborate with hiring managers and interviewers through a single platform, without relying on endless back-and-forth emails. The reporting tools are also fairly robust, making it easier to show progress and recruiting KPIs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greenhouse can feel clunky and unintuitive at times. Simple tasks — like moving candidates between stages, rejecting multiple candidates at once, or adjusting requisition fields — sometimes take way more clicks than they should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
