What is Greenhouse?

Greenhouse is an applicant tracking system for employers that run structured hiring, from scaling companies to global enterprises. It covers sourcing and a candidate CRM, job posting to 1,000+ job boards, interview kits and scorecards, scheduling with candidate self-scheduling, an AI notetaker, e-signatures, onboarding and reporting. Its Real Talent tools flag fraud and spam applications, and Voice AI runs a first-round voice interview as a separately priced product. It sells three plans, Core, Plus and Pro, and quotes every price based on hiring volume and complexity. Plus adds texting, sourcing automation and a BI connector; Pro adds an audit log and developer sandbox.
