Great ATS for scaling and large companies.

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall it's been great. One of the better ATS's out there and definitely worth the investment. Great integrations and generally really easy to use. There are some opportunities, but I see them working on these constantly.

Pros:

The ease of access, continuous improvements, and integrations are all great

Cons:

The reporting functions can definitely be improved upon, but I am seeing some improvements thus far.

Overall a good ATS, still some minor room for improvement

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall it is good. It has taken a while to get to used to the new UI though

Pros:

I like the workflows that are built in. It is easy to see scorecards in a way that makes hiring decisions easy.

Cons:

I don't like that I can't see when a candidate responds to an email or that I can't "reply" to an email. There lacks an ability of a single email thread with a candidate. I would also like to know if a candidate "accepts" calendar invites.

Not so great. The legacy view is better, and other ATS' allow more automated work

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: It's ok. I would like to see the legacy view returned, and to be able to automate things that I can do on other platforms.

Pros:

I like the legacy view, which is clean, and simple to use. I rated it a 5 because Greenhouse is forcing the new view which is not user friendly and everyone is struggling with it.

Cons:

I have used many ATS' and Greenhouse is not one of my favorites. The questions and answers that you can pre-populate are shown in block formation which can be difficult for someone like me, with ADD to read. I've also used platforms that allow me to create an email campaign that will automatically email candidates on the days that I choose, and Greenhouse doesn't offer that

Great hiring team experience - recruiter friendly as well.

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Very positive. We enjoy the product and the candidate experience seems to be un-notable, which is WAY better than hearing about it being a pain.

Pros:

Greenhouse is pretty user friendly. Excellent and easy hiring team experience. Recruiter experience is relatively seemless. Changes can be very abrupt but UI is still easy, just takes some getting used to.

Cons:

Changes and personalization's are not always intuitive. Sometimes you really need to hunt and the template process is TIME CONSUMING. Finding the things you need to change can be difficult if you did not set everything up and are not a super user.

Easy to use ATS

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: I've been using Greenhouse for years in various jobs and it is always my favorite ATS to use.

Pros:

Greenhouse is user friendly and easy for hiring managers and recruiters to use. I love the automated reminders for feedback and others tasks and the automatic posting on job boards.

Cons:

I wish we could post to more job boards more easily and also that the remote or hybrid options and salary transparency rules could be a bit more customizable.
