More noise

Manual sourcing is slow, inbound is noisy and relevant candidates are hard to find quickly.

Lost signal

Sourcing often means guesswork and chasing replies. No way to see who is real, looking now or why they might be right for the role.

Our solution

Greenhouse uses real signal from active jobseekers to recommend candidates that fit the role.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the jobseekers in the MyGreenhouse network?

They’re people actively looking for work who keep a free profile in MyGreenhouse. Millions of jobseekers use it to apply to roles and track applications. They choose to be recommended to employers for roles that fit their experience and skills. Each recommendation shows context like work preferences, history and recent activity.

How are recommendations chosen?

Recommendations start from your job post and the hiring criteria your team sets, like the experience and skills that matter most. Greenhouse matches those against active jobseekers’ profiles and activity. A recruiter reviews every list and decides who to contact.

Do jobseekers know they can be recommended to my roles?

Yes. Jobseekers opt in to being recommended and can turn it off at any time. They can also mark one role each month as their Dream Job, so you see who considers your role their top choice.

Does this replace LinkedIn Recruiter or agencies?

Greenhouse sourcing gives your team a new source of talent inside Greenhouse Recruiting. Teams can start each search with active, relevant jobseekers before turning to outside sourcing tools or agencies. There’s no separate sourcing system, extra seats or manual imports.

Is it available in Greenhouse Recruiting today?

Greenhouse sourcing is in closed beta with select Greenhouse Recruiting customers. Contact your account representative to share your interest and join the waitlist to get access as availability expands.

Does AI decide who I contact?

No. Greenhouse surfaces recommendations with context on why each jobseeker could fit. Your recruiters review every recommendation and choose who to contact and how to reach out.

What is the difference between sourcing and recruiting?

Talent sourcing software helps recruiters find and engage candidates before they apply. Most sourcing tools search profiles pulled from the web or a single network. Greenhouse sourcing recommends active jobseekers already in the Greenhouse hiring ecosystem. Matches are based on your job post and criteria and appear right inside Greenhouse Recruiting.

What is a talent pipeline?

A talent pipeline is the group of qualified candidates you’re engaging for current or future roles. Your talent pool is the wider group you can draw from. Greenhouse CRM organises prospects by pool or stage. Sourcing recommendations add active jobseekers to your pipeline right when a role opens.
