Bottom line

Structured hiring ATS for mid-market and tech, with scorecards, interview kits and a large marketplace. Quote-based, with MCP in open beta.

Stands out for: Structured hiring plus marketplace depth, with a hosted MCP now in open beta.

Watch out for: No published price, and the MCP is open beta rather than generally available.

Overview

Greenhouse is a structured hiring ATS for mid-market and tech. Shared scorecards, interview kits and a large integration marketplace sit at the centre of the product, and it is the ATS of record. There is a hosted MCP at mcp.greenhouse.io in open beta for Core, Plus and Pro, plus an API.

Teams pick Greenhouse when the interview process is the product rather than a kanban board. Pricing is quoted rather than published, so budgeting needs a sales conversation.
