Probably the biggest issue with Greenhouse is that the scheduling portion isn't very strong or smart. Scheduling is something that is critical and important and speeds the whole interview and hiring process quite a bit. Some other companies have built the scheduling portion of the tool to be a whole lot more user-friendly. For example, if you're scheduling panel interviews and you've got someone coming onsite for five interviews, with some companies like Lever, you can go in and look at everyone's calendar and it will help find the time and organize the interviews in such a way that you don't have to go back and forth with four or five different hiring managers to check their availability.

The product is easy to use. It's really intuitive. The things are laid out well. The search function seems to be better than other products. When I search for a name, some of the applicant tracking systems struggle to find the name, and I have to keep spelling out the entire name. Greenhouse has a better search function than other products and finds candidates quicker. I haven’t had issues with bugs. I have noticed other products freezing up or acting weird for some reason. However, Greenhouse is a solid solution. It has a really nice layout that tells us about upcoming events.

There are dashboards that I can see, but for pending things that I have to look at, it should provide alerts. For example, if there are 10 new people who are added to the job that I'm involved with, it should provide me with a chart or notification so that I am prompted to look at it. Currently, I have to go and look at the dashboard. There should be a little bit of intelligence to prompt action. They could come up with a baseline or intelligence on how others are hiring for specific roles, such as project management. There should be some industry insights so that our recruitment and hiring could be done better. Such a feature could be useful. It should give us an idea about how other industries are handling the hiring process and benchmarking candidates. For example, what are the things that other people are looking at? What are the things that I am looking at? They can build a lot more intelligence in the system.
