Workday HCM customers (Workday Recruiting better integration), staffing agencies (Bullhorn better fit), or budget-conscious SMBs (Workable/Recruitee cheaper).
Tech-forward mid-market companies (50-2,000 employees) wanting structured interview workflow and broad integration ecosystem.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Greenhouse’s product card in our Top 10 Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) for 2026:
- ! Pricing escalated post-TPG acquisition (2020)
- ! Customer support quality has declined consistently
- ! Call-for-quote pricing creates buyer friction
- ! Reporting depth thinner than Ashby
- ! AI features arrived late vs Ashby/Lever
