Why switch
Why teams are moving off Greenhouse
Opaque pricing
Greenhouse and Lever do not publish prices. The yearly fee is quoted by company size and goes up as you grow.
Features behind higher tiers
Advanced reporting and some automations sit in a higher tier or an add-on.
Forms and stages bent to fit
Application forms, scorecards and feedback screens are hard to change without technical help.
Reports that take too long
Built-in reports are slow to set up when you need a quick answer about your pipeline.
Ownership
You own it. No lock-in.
- You own the code and the data.
- It can run in your cloud, in the region you choose.

How it works
How we build your ATS in five days
For a standard org. After launch, we keep updating the ATS with you under one flat engagement.
Standard org: up to [TODO] open jobs, [TODO] candidate records and [TODO] integrations. Larger orgs are scoped on the call.
Migration
How to migrate from Greenhouse
We export everything before your contract ends, map it, run both systems for open jobs, then switch before your renewal date. Lever moves the same way.
01
Export your data
We pull candidates, jobs, applications and feedback through CSV reports and the Greenhouse API, or the Lever data export. Resume download links expire after about 7 days, so we save the files first.
02
Map it to the new ATS
We map jobs, stages, scorecards and users to the new ATS, and merge duplicate candidates.
03
Run both systems
Open jobs run in both systems while your team checks the data.
04
Switch before your renewal date
We move the career site and integrations, then switch before your renewal date, so you do not pay for two systems at once. Tell us the date and we plan the work around it.

FAQ
Questions about building your own ATS
Can I build my own ATS instead of using Greenhouse or Lever?
