Greenhouse ATS-Software Umfassender Testbericht 2026

Greenhouse is a recruiting software built for teams that want structure and consistency across every stage of hiring, from sourcing through offer. It's worth considering if your team is scaling and needs interview kits, scorecards, and approval workflows that keep every hire on track. If you've outgrown something like Lever and need tighter control over hiring structure and pipeline reporting, without jumping to a full enterprise HRIS, Greenhouse hits a sweet spot that's hard to find elsewhere.

Greenhouse Overview

Greenhouse excels with its intuitive interface and comprehensive features, making it a top choice for enhancing your team’s recruiting process.

Wie wir unsere Tools testen und bewerten

Wir haben jahrelang unser System zur Überprüfung und Bewertung von Software aufgebaut, verfeinert und verbessert. Das Bewertungsschema ist darauf ausgelegt, die Nuancen der Softwareauswahl und die Wirksamkeit eines Tools abzubilden, wobei der Fokus auf wesentlichen Aspekten des Entscheidungsprozesses liegt. Unten sehen Sie genau, wie unsere Tests und Bewertungen anhand von sieben Kriterien funktionieren. Damit können wir eine unvoreingenommene Bewertung der Software hinsichtlich zentraler Funktionen, herausragender Merkmale, Benutzerfreundlichkeit, Onboarding, Kundensupport, Integrationen, Kundenrezensionen und Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bieten.

Kernfunktionen (25% der Endnote)

Der Ausgangspunkt unserer Beurteilung ist immer die Kernfunktionalität des Tools. Verfügt es über die grundlegenden Funktionen, die ein Benutzer erwarten würde? Sind einige dieser Funktionen in teureren Tarifen eingeschlossen? Im Kern erwarten wir, dass ein Tool den grundlegenden Fähigkeiten seiner Mitbewerber standhält.

Herausragende Funktionen (25% der Endnote)

Danach bewerten wir außergewöhnliche Funktionen, die über das Übliche hinausgehen, das normalerweise in ähnlicher Software zu finden ist. Eine hohe Punktzahl spiegelt spezialisierte oder einzigartige Funktionen wider, die das Produkt schneller, effizienter oder für den Benutzer wertvoller machen. Wir bewerten auch, wie einfach es ist, sich mit anderen im technischen Ökosystem üblichen Tools zu integrieren, um die Funktionalität und Nützlichkeit der Software zu erweitern. Tools mit vielen nativen Integrationen, Drittanbieter-Anbindungen und API-Zugängen für individuelle Integrationen erhalten die beste Bewertung.

Benutzerfreundlichkeit (10% der Endnote)

Wir betrachten, wie schnell und einfach die Aufgaben im Bereich der Kernfunktionen mit dem Tool erledigt werden können. Hoch bewertete Software ist gut designt, intuitiv zu bedienen, bietet mobile Apps, Vorlagen und macht komplexe Aufgaben einfach.

Onboarding (10% der Endnote)

Uns ist bewusst, wie wichtig eine schnelle Einführung eines neuen Systems im Team ist. Deshalb bewerten wir, wie leicht ein Tool mit minimalem Training erlernt und genutzt werden kann. Wir prüfen, wie schnell ein Teammitglied ohne Vorerfahrung mit dem Tool starten kann. Lösungen mit hoher Bewertung erfordern wenig bis keine Unterstützung.

Kundensupport (10% der Endnote)

Wir überprüfen, wie schnell und einfach Hilfe telefonisch, per Live-Chat oder Wissensdatenbank erhalten werden kann. Tools und Unternehmen, die Echtzeit-Support bieten, schneiden am besten ab – Chatbots am schlechtesten.

Kundenrezensionen (10% der Endnote)

Zusätzlich zu unseren eigenen Tests berücksichtigen wir den Net Promoter Score aktueller und ehemaliger Kunden. Wir prüfen, wie wahrscheinlich sie, falls es zur Wahl käme, das Tool für die Kernfunktionen erneut wählen würden. Eine hohe Bewertung der Software spiegelt einen hohen Net Promoter Score wider.

Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis (10% der Endnote)

Abschließend berücksichtigen wir unter Einbeziehung aller anderen Kriterien den durchschnittlichen Preis der Einstiegstarife im Vergleich zu den Kernfunktionen und zum Wert der anderen Bewertungskriterien. Software, die mehr für weniger bietet, erhält höhere Bewertungen.
