Well workday has its advantages but Greenhouse solves hiring team challenges.

Greenhouse is the standard, it is the most expensive but it's worth it. If you wanted to spend less, I'd suggest Lever but that will also mean cutting on some neat features that could improve your recruiting process.

Employees that come into work are needed to clock in to get paid for the amount of time they are working per day. They will log on to Darwinbox and clock in as soon as they can. Some will use the PTO they have available to use. HR will be able to make payroll in a timely manner for employees.

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.

Cons
  • It can improve its UI a little better and make it look more user friendly
  • It can provide a deep analysis about things and should provide a download feature for the analytics shown
  • It should increase its scalability for large organisation as i think it wont be able to handle it

  • 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.

Usability
Great tool, however the bugs mar its user experience. If solved for, and if the UI is improved on, it will be an amazing tool

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
