Their Pitch

The only hiring platform you’ll ever need.

Our Take

It's a comprehensive hiring platform that manages everything from job posting to onboarding. Replaces the chaos of juggling job boards, spreadsheets, and email with one centralized system.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**Interview scheduling that takes 3 hours per candidate** → AI matches interviewers by expertise and availability, candidates book their own slots
  • +**Fake applications wasting your recruiters' time** → Identity verification and spam detection filter out the noise before humans see it
  • +**New hires getting lost in onboarding chaos** → Automated task sequences that sync with your existing HR systems
  • +**Hiring decisions based on gut feelings and post-it notes** → Standardized scorecards that surface patterns and disagreements across interviewers
  • +AI generates job descriptions and interview questions - no more staring at blank pages

Best For

  • >Your hiring team is drowning in spreadsheets and losing great candidates in email chaos
  • >You're coordinating interviews across multiple people and time zones make you want to scream
  • >You hire 20+ people per year and need real data on what's working (and what's not)

Not For

  • -Teams under 50 people — you're paying for enterprise features when basic tools would work fine
  • -Companies hiring fewer than 10 people per year — the overhead isn't worth it for occasional hiring
  • -Budget-conscious startups — this is premium pricing for a premium product

Pairs With

  • *BambooHR (where employee data actually lives after you hire them)
  • *LinkedIn Recruiter (to source candidates before they hit Greenhouse)
  • *Zoom (for the actual video interviews that Greenhouse schedules)
  • *Checkr (for background checks that happen after you decide to hire)
  • *Calendly (though Greenhouse has scheduling built-in, some teams prefer their existing setup)
  • *Indeed (one of 1000+ job boards where your posts automatically appear)
  • *Slack (where your team celebrates new hires and complains about mandatory feedback forms)

The Catch

  • !The sticker price is just the beginning — integrations and advanced features can double your costs
  • !You'll need someone willing to become the 'Greenhouse admin' or hire a specialist
  • !Takes 2-3 weeks for your team to get proficient, longer if they're used to simple tools

Bottom Line

The enterprise-grade hiring platform that costs enterprise prices even for mid-sized teams.
