> companies that use Greenhouse for applications

What's wrong with Greenhouse? I've seen several companies use it, and other than being just another bog-standard applicant tracking system I haven't seen anything particularly bad. I would love to know what the scoop is here.

My experience is almost a 100% correlation with being ghosted, so I'm assuming there's some quick and easy filters that I get dropped for. So I'm not wasting time without emailing with or talking to someone first.

Okay, so the issue is less Greenhouse specifically, and more generally applicant tracking systems (ATS) in general. Fair enough, I have found pretty much the same, direct internal referrals are the best way to go. Networking is about more than the Internet.

		Maybe, although even direct contacts either way without an introduction or referral has been a much better experience. I can't say without being a customer of Greenhouse myself, but I suspect they have some SaaS sauce or cross-company application data that hits me somehow for quick filtering out.
