GreenhouseATS scope, costs and alternatives

Where this ATS fits

Core documents interview kits, scorecards, scheduling, reporting and SSO. A European employer adding brands or offices should compare Plus, while audit requirements may justify Pro.

Site Admins can configure retention on current tiers. Rejected-candidate rules can be assigned by office, but hired-candidate rules apply across the organisation and require single-purpose consent. The timer begins after hiring or rejection from all applications.

Price the proposed plan

The current plans page lists Core, Plus and Pro without numeric rates. Plus adds the BI Connector, sourcing automation and texting; Pro adds audit logs and developer sandbox/sync. Request a written quote for the required combination.

What changes the decision

Current documentation supports automatic anonymization if enabled; with it disabled, action is manual. Moving a candidate back into consideration can reset the timer. Activity Notes require explicit inclusion to remove names from that field; selected anonymized data also disappears from reports.

• No negotiated rate, implementation schedule or verified support performance.
• The inspected material does not prove every required HRIS/payroll integration or data-residency condition.
• Privacy settings require the buyer's own approved policy.

What to demonstrate before buying

In the demo, use one person applying to two countries, reject only one application, then both. Show automatic anonymization settings and failure notifications, plus the resulting activity notes and reporting. Compare only the tier that includes the actual approval, access and audit requirements.

• Ashby Plus: Compare combined recruiting analytics, while recognizing its manual retention action.
• Recruitee Optimize: Compare approvals, a test environment and implementation support.

Which alternatives belong on your shortlist?

• Tellent Recruitee

  Start is capped at five active job posts. Advance documents unlimited postings, multi-language/multi-location support and a branded multi-page careers site, so its published scope is closer to this European scenario.

  Trade-off: the retention clock starts at application. When profiles merge, the latest application determines retention; manually specified periods can take precedence through the furthest date. Support states GDPR automation is available on Advance and Optimize.

• Ashby

  The vendor places Plus in the 101–1,000-employee range, matching this 200-person scenario. Foundations is for up to 100 employees; its displayed starting configuration should not price the larger company.

  Trade-off: ashby explicitly says flagged candidates are not automatically anonymized or deleted. Staff must take action. If multiple rules apply, the longest retention period controls. An overridden date can take precedence, including during CSV imports.
