Recruiter at Emerge
An affordable and easy-to-use product that is really intuitive and is one of the most stable applicant tracking systems
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.

Customizable and very centralized but quite expensive
I like the fact that you can adjust the views for who's using the system. I'm an administrator, so I have access to the entire solution, however, I can crop it down for my field staff to go in and do basic views on their own recruits, on their own recruitments, et cetera. It's customizable to the level of customer that's using it. That's probably the most valuable feature. I have all of our applicants in one place and then each department, depending on who's doing the recruiting for them, can go in on a department level. Everything's all in one place, however, so it's very central.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It provides very good flexibility to create filters, so I can look at candidates' progress across different stages and follow candidates to get updates about where they are in the cycle."
"I think the ease of use is one of the most valuable features."
"Greenhouse has a better search function than other products and finds candidates quicker."
"The solution is pretty solid and stable, and I have had more issues with other ATSs than I ever did with Greenhouse."
"It provides very good flexibility to create filters. Therefore, I can look at candidates' progress across different stages. I can also follow candidates to get updates about where they are in the cycle."
"I like the fact that you can adjust the views for who's using the system."
"It's customizable to the level of customer that's using it. That's probably the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"The biggest thing for me was that Greenhouse sucked a lot of time when we were trying to schedule, whereas Lever made it very fast and easy."
"There are dashboards that I can see, but for pending things that I have to look at, it should provide alerts."
"Probably the biggest issue with Greenhouse is that the scheduling portion isn't very strong or smart."
"If we have to schedule multiple interviews in Greenhouse, we will have to schedule them individually."
"The solution is quite costly. The pricing depends on the number of licenses which depends on the number of users."
"Having the feeds more easily developed and implemented would be ideal. I'd like them to be more plug and play so we can put them into our HCM, our human capital management system. For what it costs, that should just be part of the deal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The one thing I didn't like, and what caused me to move from Greenhouse, was that they wanted to bump us up almost 20% over what the previous cost was."
"The tool is pretty affordable for startups and medium-level companies."
