Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“I'd suggest starting with Workable if you want transparent pricing ... or Greenhouse if you're willing to invest more in a structured hiring process” Kimi K2 · AI recruiting assistants · direct prompt · first choice
“Greenhouse and Lever are the top recommendations due to their scalability, integration capabilities, and fit for structured recruiting processes” Mistral Small · Interview scheduling · direct prompt · first choice
“pick a structured, recruiting-first platform like Greenhouse or iCIMS when consistency, reporting and hiring manager adoption are priorities” Muse Glimmer 30B · Applicant tracking syste · comparative prompt · first choice
“Ranked #1 ATS on G2's Winter 2026 reports across Overall, Enterprise, Mid-Market, and EMEA categories with a 98% user satisfaction rate” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Applicant tracking syste · direct prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Avoid full ATS suites like Lever/Greenhouse unless free tiers suffice, as they're pricier for scale.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Interview scheduling · budget prompt · hard negative
“lists HireVue among the companies under investigation for potentially providing consumer reports without adhering to FCRA requirements, alongside Workday, Greenhouse, Lever By Employ, Ashby” Muse Glimmer 30B · AI recruiting assistants · negative prompt · soft negative
“products like Greenhouse, Lever, and Workable are better suited to internal hiring than external or high-volume staffing, so they can be a poor fit for agencies” Perplexity Sonar · Staffing agency tools · negative prompt · soft negative
“user reviews (G2, Capterra) frequently cite: Limited customization ... A steep learning curve and non-intuitive setup process.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Talent intelligence · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Greenhouse. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 419 of the 454 answers that named Greenhouse and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page greenhouse.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.
Names read as Greenhouse
What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Greenhouse; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?
Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Greenhouse's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Greenhouse, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Greenhouse by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Greenhouse is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name Greenhouse, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
