How we evaluated Greenhouse
This review rests on the 28 facts this page shows, each checked against the source listed under “Sources”, most recently on . We did not test the product hands-on: the score uses only those verified facts, as our methodology explains; third-party ratings, where we quote them, never count in the score.
Our verdict
Greenhouse fits hiring teams that want structured interviews, a sourcing CRM and audited security in one applicant tracking system, from early-stage companies to enterprises. Prices are by quote only, and texting, sourcing automation, the audit log and the developer sandbox sit in higher plans. It is less suited to buyers who need published prices or want HR records and payroll in the same system.
Strengths

Core includes structured interview kits, scorecards, scheduling, sourcing with a talent CRM, reporting and an AI Notetaker.
Evidence: Hiring team collaboration: Yes5
Large integration directory and open APIs

Weaknesses
Quote-only pricing
No prices are published. Cost depends on the plan, hiring volume, organizational complexity and required features, and every plan card leads to a demo.
Evidence: Pricing model: Quote only2
Features gated by plan
Texting and Sourcing Automation start at Plus, while the audit log, developer sandbox and unlimited CRM events are in Pro only.
Faster support costs extra
Standard Support runs Sunday 6 PM to Friday 6 PM Pacific time. A 30-minute, 24x7 response target for urgent issues needs Premium Support, at an unpublished fee.
Evidence
Support hours: Sunday 6:00 PM PT to Friday 6:00 PM PT (Standard Support); Support Center available 24/7; Premium Support P1 response target 30 minutes 24x78
Hiring only, not core HR
Greenhouse covers recruiting, sourcing, onboarding and reporting. It is less suited to buyers who want payroll and HR records in the same product.
Evidence
Modules: Greenhouse Recruiting (applicant tracking), Talent sourcing and CRM, Onboarding, Reporting & insights, Voice AI interviewing, Real Talent (fraud detection, identity verification, candidate matching), Candidate portal (MyGreenhouse)9
