Gigin vs Greenhouse — what each does, and when you need both.
Greenhouse is the leading structured hiring ATS — 7,000+ customers, 400+ integrations, the gold standard for interview kits and scorecards. Gigin is the agentic hiring platform that sources, screens, and shortlists before candidates reach an ATS. The question is not which is better. It is which you need — or whether you need both.

Which path fits your team?

|---|---|---|
| You use Greenhouse and need AI sourcing and screening | Gigin + Greenhouse | Gigin integrates with Greenhouse. Gia adds the pre-hire execution layer. Your Greenhouse workflow is unchanged. |

| You are evaluating both from scratch | Start with Gigin | Gigin includes the ATS plus Gia's sourcing and screening layer — one platform from day one instead of two. |
| You have enterprise Greenhouse with deep customisation | Keep Greenhouse + add Gigin | The integration risk of replacing a deeply customised Greenhouse is high. Add Gia on top instead. |
| You want structured interview kit depth above all else | Consider Greenhouse standalone or with Gigin integrated | Greenhouse's scorecard system is best in class. Keep it if structured interview consistency is the priority. |
FAQs
Gigin vs Greenhouse questions
Yes. Gigin integrates directly with Greenhouse. Gia handles sourcing, calling, and shortlisting — shortlisted candidates appear in your Greenhouse pipeline at the stage you configure. Your team manages the structured interview workflow in Greenhouse as normal. No disruption to existing workflows.
The main things to consider: Greenhouse has 400+ integrations — significantly more than Gigin's current 8+. If your team relies on specific Greenhouse integrations that Gigin does not yet support, the replacement path may need to wait for those integrations. Greenhouse's interview kit depth is also best in class — if your organisation has invested in structured hiring training around Greenhouse's scorecards, the transition involves rebuilding that structure in Gigin's configurable feedback system.
Greenhouse is per-seat annual ($6K–$70K+ depending on headcount). Gigin is credit-based — you pay for what Gia does, not for team size. For a team of 10 recruiters doing 50 roles/month, Greenhouse's per-seat model is typically more expensive than Gigin's credit model for that volume. For a 3-person recruiting team doing 100 roles/month, the credit model's volume cost needs to be compared to Greenhouse's headcount-based price. Request a quote to compare directly.
