When we use Lever, we can look at five different calendars at once and schedule a candidate for five different interviews. I don't think that we're able to do that with Greenhouse. Lever just makes it easy. If we have to schedule multiple interviews in Greenhouse, we will have to schedule them individually. We have had instances where people have wanted to interview four different people in the same afternoon, and Lever made it easy. It is not as easy with Greenhouse. We can’t do it all on one screen.
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.

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.
