Our commitment to DE&I
Building a culture of belonging
Here’s how we’re working to promote fair and equitable hiring, a people-first culture and diverse perspectives in our product, our culture and our community.
Unlocking human potential
We believe human potential is the most powerful force for progress and success we have. Building a culture of belonging that puts people first – where every person is supported to bring their most authentic self to work – is how we unlock it and enable our people to do the best work of their life.
Our commitment to fair and equitable hiring
At Greenhouse, our commitment to DE&I and building belonging is at the centre of everything we do. It’s how we fulfil our mission to make every company great at hiring. It’s how we create an inclusive, equitable culture at our own company. And it’s how we contribute to the kind of world we want to live in.
We’re creating tools that help build inclusive companies
Helping companies reduce bias within their hiring process is integral to unlocking the potential of people and companies. Thousands of companies make hiring decisions using Greenhouse every day – that’s why building DE&I into our product as a foundation, not a feature, has been our priority from day one.

Diversity, equality and inclusion solutions
Greenhouse DE&I features are designed to mitigate unconscious bias and ensure candidates are evaluated fairly throughout every stage of the hiring process so you can make objective hiring decisions. That’s how you build more diverse teams and a more inclusive workplace.
Candidate Name Pronunciation feature
Correctly pronouncing candidates’ names isn’t just common courtesy, it’s a crucial behaviour for achieving true workplace inclusivity.

We’re creating a people-first culture
We’re committed to building a workplace where everyone feels that their voice is heard, their ideas are valid and their whole self is valued. When someone is free to be their most authentic self and fully engage with their work, anything is possible.

We’re putting our beliefs into practice
At Greenhouse, we’ve made a commitment to advocate for positive change wherever we can. That means creating a Greenhouse DE&I Council and holding ourselves accountable for progress within our company. It also means supporting initiatives that build belonging and champion a people-first approach to hiring within our greater community.

Building belonging is the key to unlocking human potential at work. Greenhouse Co-founder and CEO Daniel Chait explains why.

Today, only 1% of founders backed by venture capital in the United States are Black. We joined Tech for Black Founders to help change that.
We’re committed to sharing what we learn
To succeed in creating a sense of belonging and building a people-first culture, there needs to be a company-wide commitment to keep learning, practicing and sharing. We believe in the importance of amplifying the voices of DE&I experts and sharing what we learn with our customers and community of hiring practitioners.
