AccuRecruiter vs. Greenhouse

The system was flexible for candidates interested in applying to apply from any location, and then the system allowed for our department to log in from anywhere as well to track the hiring process. We have utilized AccuRecruiter for some job requisitions. While we were okay with the system as the recruiting side of the team, we had some issues with our IT systems team with integration considerations.

Greenhouse merges very well with most of the Job Board we use such as Indeed, Linkedin Recruiter and others. It makes it easy to import date from these job boards onto the system. However, more can be done when it comes to bulk candidate import, I think there should be a feature that allows us to adding bulk candidates at a go.

• The applicant tracking process helps our teams keep organized especially given there are different stakeholders reviewing and making comments/decisions.
• Providing an option to test or screen applicants helps make our job easier because then we don't need to sift through and spend time on applications that would be evidently screened out.
• The video-based recruitment process helped our department save time because of the flexibility provided, especially during the remote times of the pandemic.

Incentivized

• Customization of interview plans, questions, interviewer roles for multiple positions
• Manages efficient and timely candidate, hiring manager, and interviewer communication
• Integrates with other tools needed in the hiring process such as sourcing tools and onboarding systems
• Provides analytics and reporting to allow for data insights and process improvements
• Provides an Onboarding feature that makes the hiring cycle seamless from first interview to hire date

• When we were working with our IT systems team to use AccuRecruiter, there were some hurdles that would need to be assessed such as if/how it can integrate better with our organization's current system.
• There was a lack of ability to do reliable background screening of the candidates.
• Reporting options can always be improved for example providing more charts and tables that are more ready to click and view.

• Greenhouse Security is simple, but not that granular. For example, everytime new recruiter joins, we have to give them access manually one by one. There is no one click or an easy way to auto assign security unlike other systems that we use such as Workday.
• Greenhouse reporting is very lacking. Even though we are on the highest tier, we cannot extract data through this delivered feature. For example, scorecard custom questions. We have to do this through SQL.
• Greenhouse Audit Log is also lacking. It is not useful at all. We cannot even see what job info changed and who changed it even though we are on the highest tier now.

I think Greenhouse is an effective, easy way to interview and score recruits -- especially as our organization grows in size

The overall interface is very easy to understand and it is capable. There are a lot of very useful functionalities that help in productivity as simple as tags for the coordinators to manage their day to day tasks. The continuous improvements greenhouse brings to the users are really impressive. We use quite a few integrations with it and they help the job even hassle free.

I have never needed to call Greenhouse for support. I am not the primary account holder, nor do I use Greenhouse enough to merit calling support. I delegate that responsibility to the Recruiting team. They have never mentioned any experience with Greenhouse technical support, either bad or good. I would assume that they would tell me if the support was poor.

I think we could have used more delivered functionality and less customized which now results in more maintenance

A lot of new features and Recruiter friendly Interface is what made us to choose Greenhouse over any other competition in Market. Cost is another factor as Greenhouse is available at a very competitive price in Market. This is an overall package for all your recruitment, Engagement and reporting needs.
