Greenhouse
Recruiting software sold in Core, Plus, and Pro tiers, with each tier adding to the one below and prices quoted individually.
When to consider it
Consider it when you want structured hiring processes and documented integration options, and expect your hiring volume or process complexity to grow.
What to weigh up
Pricing is quote-only and depends on tier, hiring volume, and organisational complexity. US, EU, and APAC hosting silos are described, but transfers to the US are also covered in its security material, so confirm your silo and onward processing.
Facts before the demo
- Hosting
Greenhouse runs on AWS with US, EU, and APAC silos. The EU silo uses Frankfurt (eu-central-1) and Ireland (eu-west-1) for disaster recovery. The security overview does not say how accounts are assigned to a silo. Confirm your account's silo and any processing outside the EU.support.greenhouse.io (opens in a new tab)Checked Oct 2026
- Career-site languages
On Core, Plus, and Pro, each job post's application language can be set to one of 18 languages, including English, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. The job name, description, and custom questions must be written in the target language yourself. Greenhouse suggests a separate job board for each language you post in regularly.support.greenhouse.io (opens in a new tab)Checked Oct 2026
- API access
The Harvest API is available on Core, Plus, and Pro and can read and change data such as candidates, jobs, and offers. Version 3 uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials; the help centre gives 31 August 2026 as the end date for v1 and v2, so integrations need to run on v3.support.greenhouse.io (opens in a new tab)Checked Oct 2026

- User limit
