Overview
Greenhouse is a cloud-based applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruiting platform built around structured hiring, using standardized interview kits, scorecards, and sourcing/CRM tools to make hiring consistent and data-driven. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in New York, it serves thousands of companies from mid-market to enterprise. It offers a large partner ecosystem plus an open API, and a separate Onboarding product. Pricing is quote-based, tiered by hiring volume and organizational complexity.
The problem Greenhouse solves
Growing companies struggle to keep hiring consistent, fair, and data-driven as interview volume and headcount scale, often relying on scattered spreadsheets and inboxes. Greenhouse solves this for mid-market and enterprise talent teams by centralizing sourcing, structured interview kits, scorecards, and a broad integration stack into one ATS. The tradeoff is premium quote-based pricing and reporting that some teams find limited.
