Greenhouse is one of the biggest and best-known names in the ATS space, and I can officially say it is back! After a few years of post-VC lethargy and being outmaneuvered by several newcomers… Boom. GH is suddenly not just relevant, but really innovative and almost exciting again! I’ve long been a fan, so I am truly happy to see the turnaround!
