Hirenga vs Greenhouse – A Lighter, Smarter ATS for Small Businesses
Why growing teams are choosing Hirenga over complex enterprise tools
Greenhouse is one of the most powerful ATS platforms on the market — but with that power comes complexity, cost, and a steep learning curve. If you're part of a small or medium-sized business, managing hiring in-house without a full HR team, Greenhouse might feel like overkill.
Hirenga was created to solve that exact problem.
It's a lightweight, AI-powered ATS designed for small teams who want to streamline their hiring process, evaluate candidates faster, and save time — all without getting lost in endless configuration options.
✨ Key Differences
🎯 Built for Your Size
Hirenga is designed for teams that don't have time to configure every little setting or run multi-step onboarding flows. It’s plug-and-play.
Greenhouse is made for companies with HR departments, talent ops, and often dedicated recruiters.
🧠 AI Where It Actually Helps
Hirenga includes smart, built-in AI features:
- CV parsing and data extraction
- Candidate scoring based on job criteria
- CV summarization
- Auto-generated email replies (rejections, next steps, etc.)
Greenhouse has great automation tools, but relies heavily on integrations and setup. No native AI scoring or summary features.
🧩 Workflow That’s Visual and Simple
Hirenga gives you a clean Kanban board to manage applications. Just drag candidates from “Applied” to “Interviewing” to “Hired.”
Greenhouse has a powerful but complex pipeline system — flexible, yes, but not ideal for small teams who just need to move fast.
💸 Transparent and Accessible Pricing
Hirenga has clear, affordable pricing available on the site. No calls. No demos. Just sign up and go.
Greenhouse uses a sales-driven model with pricing typically suited for larger organizations.
⚙️ Setup in Minutes, Not Weeks
Hirenga can be used right away — upload CVs, build a job form, start tracking.
Greenhouse usually requires onboarding, integrations, and training to unlock full functionality.
👥 Who Should Choose Hirenga?
- Founders and small team leaders managing hiring internally
- Ops managers looking for structure without complexity
- Startups tired of Excel and manual email replies
- Anyone looking to spend less time on admin and more time talking to great candidates
🚀 Big ATS Features, Without the Big ATS Bloat
Greenhouse is a great choice — if you’re a 200+ person company with a recruiting team and budget to match.
But if you’re like most growing teams and you just want to:
- Track candidates visually
- Score them with AI
- Automate replies
- Hire faster
Then Hirenga is the better fit.
