Greenhouse organises your pipeline. Gigin works it.
Greenhouse is one of the best ATSes in the market. What it does not do is source candidates, make assessment calls, or deliver shortlists. That is what Gigin does — and for teams that still want Greenhouse's structured workflow, Gigin integrates with it.
What Gia handles
- Sources from 75M+ candidate profiles
- Calls every applicant within 3 minutes
- Delivers a ranked shortlist — no manual screening
- Live in one day
Who this page is for.
| You are on this page if... | What this page answers |
|---|---|
| You are on Greenhouse and want to add AI sourcing and screening without replacing it | How Gigin integrates alongside Greenhouse — which capabilities Gia adds and how shortlists flow into your pipeline |
| You are evaluating whether to replace Greenhouse with a more integrated platform | What the full Gigin platform covers versus Greenhouse, and what you would gain and give up in a switch |
| You have outgrown Greenhouse's enterprise pricing and want a more volume-based model | How Gigin's credit-based model compares to Greenhouse's per-seat annual contract at your hiring volume |
| You are on spreadsheets and considering Greenhouse but want to understand your options | Why Gigin may be a more complete first platform than starting with Greenhouse alone |
What Greenhouse does well — and why that matters.
| Greenhouse strength | Why it is genuinely valuable |
|---|---|
| Structured interview kits and scorecards | Brings consistency to the interview process — every hiring manager uses the same criteria, every candidate is assessed on the same dimensions. Reduces subjective hiring variance. |
| Deep ATS workflow management | 7,000+ customers have validated Greenhouse's pipeline management. The workflow is mature, configurable, and well-documented. |
| 400+ integrations | The largest integration ecosystem in the mid-market ATS category. Connects to sourcing tools, assessment tools, HRIS platforms, and almost every tool a recruiting team uses. |
| Hiring manager collaboration | Purpose-built for cross-functional hiring — hiring managers can provide feedback, review scorecards, and track pipeline without being trained on complex software. |
| Established brand credibility | Most US hiring managers have used Greenhouse. No internal adoption friction — the team already knows the interface. |
What Greenhouse does not do.
| Gap | What it means for your team | What Gigin does instead |
|---|---|---|
| Does not source candidates | Recruiters still source manually or need a separate sourcing tool subscription | Gia sources from 75M+ profiles using role context — one approval triggers outreach immediately |
| Does not make assessment calls | Inbound applicants sit in the ATS until a recruiter manually calls them — often 24–48 hours after application | Gia calls every applicant within 3 minutes — first-mover advantage on every inbound application |
| Does not initiate | Every action in Greenhouse requires a human trigger — a recruiter moves a candidate, triggers an email, or advances the stage | Gia acts without a human trigger at each step — sourcing, calling, shortlisting happen autonomously |
| Does not deliver shortlists | Greenhouse tracks what recruiters do; it does not do the work before the recruiter acts | Gia delivers a ranked shortlist with assessment notes — recruiter opens the pipeline ready to act |
| Does not eliminate the screening pile | An ATS does not reduce the pre-hire workload — it organises the output of that workload | Gia eliminates the screening pile by handling assessment before the candidate reaches the ATS |
The two paths for Greenhouse users.
Path 1: Add Gigin to Greenhouse
Gigin integrates with Greenhouse directly. Gia handles sourcing, calling, and shortlisting. Shortlisted candidates appear in your Greenhouse pipeline at the stage you specify — Applied, Shortlisted, or a custom stage. Your team's Greenhouse workflow is unchanged. Structured interview kits, scorecards, and hiring manager collaboration all continue in Greenhouse. Gia adds the pre-hire execution layer that Greenhouse does not have.
Path 2: Replace Greenhouse with Gigin
Gigin's native ATS covers the full Greenhouse feature set — pipeline stages, candidate workspace, structured feedback, team collaboration, and offer management — plus Gia's agentic sourcing and screening layer. One platform, one login, one view from req to offer. Choose this path if you want to consolidate your stack and do not need Greenhouse's integration depth.
Most teams start with Path 1. If your team has significant Greenhouse workflows built around it — interview kits, hiring manager training, structured scorecards — start with integration. Gigin adds the capability Greenhouse is missing without disrupting what is already working.

Migrating from Greenhouse — what to expect.
| Concern | Reality |
|---|---|
| We have 3 years of candidate history in Greenhouse | Gigin supports bulk import of candidate records via CSV. Historical candidates are added to your Gigin talent pool with their historical data preserved. |
| Our hiring managers are trained on Greenhouse's interface | Gigin's hiring manager view is a simplified shared pipeline — typically easier to adopt than Greenhouse's full interface. Hiring managers see their roles, add feedback, and track offer status. |
| We have custom integrations built on Greenhouse's API | The specific integrations you use can be replicated in Gigin for platforms Gigin supports natively. For custom integrations, Gigin's API is available on the Enterprise plan. |
| Our interview scorecards are built in Greenhouse | Gigin supports configurable structured feedback forms per role type. Existing Greenhouse scorecard content can be replicated in Gigin's feedback framework during onboarding. |
| We are mid-contract with Greenhouse | Most teams run both platforms in parallel until the Greenhouse contract ends — Gigin for new roles, Greenhouse for roles in progress. This is the lowest-risk transition path. |
FAQs
Greenhouse alternative questions
Yes. Gigin's native ATS covers the full Greenhouse feature set — pipeline management, candidate workspace, structured feedback, team collaboration, and offer management — plus Gia's agentic sourcing and screening layer. The specific decision depends on how embedded your team is in Greenhouse's integration ecosystem and whether you need the 400+ integration depth Greenhouse provides.
No. The Gigin-Greenhouse integration is configured in the Gigin dashboard using your Greenhouse API credentials. Setup takes approximately 30–60 minutes with Gigin's customer success team. No IT involvement is required.
Candidate records can be exported from Greenhouse via CSV and imported into Gigin's talent pool. Historical assessment data and interview feedback from Greenhouse is preserved in the export. The import is managed during the Gigin onboarding process.
Gigin uses a credit-based model — you pay for what Gia does, not for how many seats your team has. For teams with large recruiting teams but moderate hiring volume, Gigin's credit model is typically less expensive than Greenhouse's per-seat annual contract. For teams with small recruiting teams and very high volume, the comparison depends on your specific credit block. Request a quote with your volume to compare directly.
Gigin currently integrates with 8+ platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, Workday, JobDiva, LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter) with more being added. If you are on Path 1 (adding Gigin to Greenhouse), you retain the full Greenhouse integration ecosystem while adding Gia's capabilities. If you are replacing Greenhouse, confirm that your critical integrations are supported before switching.
