Aster vs Greenhouse

Greenhouse is one of the most established applicant tracking systems, built for large organisations that want to design a highly structured, heavily configured hiring process. It is powerful and deep. Aster takes a different starting point: it reads, scores and ranks every applicant for you, and gets a growing team hiring in an afternoon rather than a quarter.

Where Aster is different

  • AI screening and ranking on every applicant, not a paid add-on
  • Interview scheduling and candidate self-booking built in
  • Set up and hiring the same day, with no implementation project

When Greenhouse is the better fit

If you are a large enterprise with a dedicated recruiting-operations team and complex, multi-stage approval workflows across many departments, Greenhouse's configurability and integration marketplace are genuinely hard to beat.

Switching from Greenhouse

Moving to Aster is straightforward: export your candidates and jobs, import them, and Aster parses and re-ranks everyone against your open roles. Most teams are running live in a day.
