Greenhouse alternative
Greenhouse defined structured hiring. Selenios executes it with agents.
Greenhouse is the reference for structured hiring: competency scorecards, interview kits, funnel reporting and a very broad integration ecosystem. For US tech teams with mature processes, it remains a hard standard to argue with.
The difference is who does the work. In Greenhouse the structure is carried by people: someone defines the scorecard, someone interviews, someone fills it in. In Selenios, AI agents execute that structure — they interview, score against the criteria and complete the scorecard — and the team reviews instead of transcribing.
Point-by-point comparison
| Dimension | Greenhouse | Selenios |
|---|---|---|
| Philosophy | Structured hiring: processes, kits and scorecards the team fills in. | The same structured framework, executed by AI agents and reviewed by the team. |
| Initial screening | Manual review and application questions; AI available via modules and partners. | AI screening interview over WhatsApp or voice minutes after applying, native to the platform. |
| Scorecards | Templates each interviewer completes. | Generated automatically from the interview transcript, with evidence per competency. |
| Candidate channel | Email and portal, with partners for other channels. | Native WhatsApp, voice and email, with automatic fallback between channels. |
| Market and ecosystem | Very broad integration ecosystem, enterprise maturity, strong in the United States. | Focused on Latin America and multilingual processes; integrates with Greenhouse rather than competing for system of record. |
| Cost | Enterprise model; worth requesting a quote for your size. | Built for teams that do not want to add recruiters at the pace of volume. |

- You hire frontline or high-volume roles where WhatsApp outperforms email.
- You want to cut pre-screening time without growing the team.
Frequently asked questions
