"Customizable Yet Challenging Recruitment Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I like how Greenhouse offers better organization and tracking for our recruiting process. It simplifies posting jobs and has an easy interview scheduling process and scorecard process. The customization is what I like best about Greenhouse. I can make templates for emails, offer letters, offer packets, interview setups, scorecard setups, and job creation. This flexibility ensures the system works for us even as our needs change. Additionally, we've never had any issues with Greenhouse and have never considered moving off of it, which speaks to its reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

There is a bit of a learning curve with the system if you're not already familiar. Because it's so customizable there are a lot of settings and capabilities, but you kind of have to know they exist. It's not always the most intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth, User-Friendly Hiring with Incredible Implementation and Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse delivers a smooth, user-friendly experience for both candidates and recruiters. Their implementation team was incredible to work with, helping us tailor and configure our setup during a high-growth phase and broader technology rollout. Their ongoing customer support has been just as impressive—always responsive, collaborative, and quick to help us find the right solutions as our needs evolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Some of the back-end configurations can be difficult to navigate, and the talent filtering and resume review experience can feel less intuitive than expected. While the platform offers strong customization overall, there are areas where additional flexibility would better support more complex or evolving hiring workflows.

"Effortlessly Streamlines Hiring with User-Friendly Interface"
5/5
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I love Greenhouse for its ease of use and the ability to efficiently collect and review resumes. One of the best features is being able to look back and see a candidate's history, which helps us understand past decisions and get up to speed quickly. Greenhouse makes it easy for our lean and remote team to coordinate and collaborate when leaving feedback after interviews. The scheduling process runs smoothly and swiftly, which is invaluable to us. It's usually very easy to train new users because Greenhouse has a pretty user-friendly interface. Also, the customer success team has been very helpful when we've had issues, making them easy to book time with, walking me through the platform, and answering my questions. I've been pleased with their level of service. Overall, Greenhouse has definitely made our hiring process more efficient and smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

The reporting functions could be a little smoother. The way data is collected could be improved, as it's currently not as smooth as I'd like. Also, Greenhouse could improve its integration with Google Calendar. Every time I schedule a meeting, I have to manually add the 'join with Google Meet' button, which is annoying and wasting a lot of time at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great ATS for Our Size, but the UX Can Feel Clunky at Times"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

For the size of our organization, this is probably the best ATS. From req management and driving candidates through the recruitment process. In addition, it integrates well with our FP&A tool, Anaplan, on the backend and then HireRight for on-boarding/background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

It is clunky at times with it's UX. e.g. Hitting back button resets updates, not everything can be automated. It would be ideal if certain customized fields would appear if certain drop downs are selected. For instance, if we have a second line leader being input as the hiring manager, it should automatically give permission settings on what they can view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable Offer Templates Streamline Our Recruiting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I like how customizable the offer templates are in Greenhouse and how easily we can update or edit existing ones. I appreciate how well it tracks applicants, whether they are applying to multiple positions or using one profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

We send our offer letters through Adobe and it would be nice to be able to customize the look of the emails/sender of those emails more so they are more recognizable to candidates when they get the email. I also wish there was a better way to send multiple documents to employees with their offer as separate attachments rather than it all appearing as one large packet that they have to scroll through.

"Valuable Features Marred by Poor UX"
2/5
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I like being able to tag candidates. This feature makes Greenhouse more valuable because it helps us with future leads. Often there isn't a need for a candidate we find on LinkedIn or whatnot, but they do show future potential. We know we will open that role at some point, so being able to tag accordingly (ie-Illustrator) on their profile once we add a prospect is convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

Greenhouse's user experience is quite poor from my experience. As a digital product agency that's focused on user experience, I find that Greenhouse's user experience doesn't feel intuitive at all. When I'm going through my workflow, things just aren't where you expect them to be, and I don't really understand how to set things up. It's clunky and feels like it needs a whole overhaul.

"Integrated Automations and Reporting That Keep Us Accountable"
5/5
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

The automations are integrated into our Google Workspace. It’s our single source of truth for TA, and it helps keep everyone accountable. It also integrates with our technical tooling for technical assessments.

The reporting feature has also levelled up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

On forms, you cant attach a document, only a link. But on emails you can attach a document.

It would be easier if we could attach documents to our form templates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Navigation with Room for Autofill Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Greenhouse?

I find Greenhouse quite easy to navigate, especially for job applications, which makes it stand out compared to other systems like Workday. I appreciate the ease of navigation and how the overall font and styling look friendly. The job application feature is something I use a lot, as many companies prefer the Greenhouse application system. Also, the initial setup of Greenhouse is quite easy, with no hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenhouse?

The auto-fill system could be improved. Sometimes it comes with a glitch, answering some questions correctly while for others, I have to manually delete information and redo it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
