Greenhouse’s Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is recognized as a leading platform for organizations seeking to modernize and optimize their hiring processes. What truly sets Greenhouse apart is its data-driven approach. It empowers talent teams to make smarter, faster, and more equitable hiring decisions.

Here are four essential metrics that demonstrate how Greenhouse’s ATS can revolutionize your recruitment outcomes.

Time-to-Hire: Accelerating Talent Acquisition

Time-to-hire measures the number of days between when a candidate applies and when they accept an offer. This metric is critical for organizations aiming to secure top talent before competitors.

Greenhouse’s structured workflows, automated scheduling, and centralized candidate management dramatically reduce bottlenecks and manual tasks. These features lead to faster decision-making and shorter hiring cycles.

Companies using Greenhouse have reported significant reductions in time-to-hire. Some have achieved up to a 38% decrease in time-to-fill for key roles.

This efficiency not only improves recruiter productivity but also enhances the candidate experience by minimizing delays.

Offer Acceptance Rate: Winning Over Top Candidates

The offer acceptance rate reflects the percentage of job offers that are accepted by candidates. A high acceptance rate signals that your hiring process is competitive, timely, and aligned with candidate expectations.

Greenhouse provides real-time insights into where candidates drop off. It enables teams to identify and address issues—such as slow offer delivery or misaligned compensation—before they impact results.

By streamlining communication and ensuring a consistent, positive candidate journey, Greenhouse helps organizations boost their offer acceptance rates. Many users often surpass industry benchmarks of 90% or higher.

Quality of Hire: Ensuring Long-Term Success

Quality of hire is a forward-looking metric that evaluates the performance and retention of new employees. Greenhouse’s ATS supports structured interviews, standardized scorecards, and collaborative feedback.

These features are designed to reduce bias and ensure fair, data-backed hiring decisions. By capturing detailed feedback and enabling side-by-side comparisons of candidate evaluations, Greenhouse helps hiring teams select candidates who are more likely to excel and stay with the organization.
