It’s official: Greenhouse has once again been named the #1 applicant tracking system (ATS) in G2’s Fall 2025 reports. What makes this recognition so meaningful is that it comes at one of the most challenging times in recruiting history.

Recruiters today face pipeline overload like never before – from AI-generated applications and rising fraud to shrinking budgets and fragmented tech stacks. Through it all, customers continue to trust Greenhouse recruiting software to help them cut through the noise, bring clarity back to hiring and keep their businesses moving forward.

Based on reviews and feedback from real customers, Greenhouse was featured in 223 reports overall, with 94 badges earned. Across G2 reviews, 94% of users rated Greenhouse 4 or 5 stars, and 99% reported overall satisfaction. Greenhouse also ranked #1 in 51 key reports, including: 

• Grid Report for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) 
• Enterprise Grid Report for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
• EMEA Regional Grid Report for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) 
• Mid-Market Grid Report for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
  
  

One platform for everything you need to hire

Every recruiter knows the pain of trying to stitch together a dozen different tools. One for scheduling, another for sourcing, yet another for reporting – each adding cost, complexity and more time wasted. Instead of empowering recruiters, it pulls them away from what matters most: finding and securing the right talent.

Greenhouse changes that story. By consolidating everything into one platform, we make it possible to do more with less, without sacrificing quality or control. From sourcing to scheduling to reporting, Greenhouse gives talent teams everything they need to move quickly and confidently.

“Coordinating large, complex interview loops used to be a logistical headache, but with Greenhouse, our team can set them up quickly and confidently, saving hours of manual work.”
– Kristin S., HR Generalist, Mid-Market, Americas

Greenhouse Scheduling, templates, automation and collaboration tools help eliminate tedious tasks, leaving recruiters with more time to build real connections with candidates.

All your hiring and onboarding data in one place

In today’s hiring environment, data isn’t optional. It’s the difference between making informed, confident decisions and getting stuck in endless cycles of guesswork. But too often, recruiting and onboarding data are both fragmented – buried in spreadsheets, spread across tools or accessible only to analysts.

As Ryan M., a Senior Technical Recruiter in EMEA, shared: “I use Greenhouse on a daily basis, and it’s clear that it’s built for recruiters and by recruiters.

It’s obvious that real recruiters have had input in the features and reporting dashboards available in Greenhouse.

I’ve used many other recruiting tools, and, honestly, none of them come close to the level of functionality and user experience that you get with this platform.”
– Ryan M., Senior Technical Recruiter in EMEA

Greenhouse flips the script by putting actionable data directly into recruiters’ hands. With built-in reporting, unified onboarding that carries hiring insights seamlessly into the new hire experience and the upcoming launch of even more robust insights with Greenhouse Analytics, talent teams gain the clarity they need to act faster, optimise processes and make smarter decisions.

Fight pipeline overload and make the right hires, faster

Let’s be honest: the top of the funnel is messy. That’s why Greenhouse customers lean on our automated tools, like customisable email templates so they can engage quickly, and Talent Filtering and Talent Rediscovery to quickly surface the right talent.

Margaret M., Chief People & Experience Officer, Mid-Market, Americas, shared her team’s experience: “Greenhouse makes building and customising recruitment workflows incredibly easy. I can tailor stages, emails and approvals to match our hiring process. It’s flexible enough to work for everything from high-volume roles to specialised searches, and the reporting tools help us keep a close eye on progress.”

And soon, Greenhouse Real Talent™ will be a game-changer for how TA teams manage overloaded pipelines, surfacing qualified candidates faster while also detecting and preventing fraud, spam and misrepresentation.
