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.

Simple, easy to access and interface is quite user-friendly.
PeopleStrong is good. The only thing is that they have complete SaaS-based solutions. But sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect. This does not exist right now because we have a separate portal for PeopleStrong. They have been logged in via SSO. But if we want to integrate it via API in the current people system, that feature is not available right now.

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. 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 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 product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"It is priced low."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
 

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."
"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 global scalability and support could improve."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is pretty affordable for startups and medium-level companies."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
