Greenhouse与IBM达成合作，宣布集成AI招聘工具
文/KYLE WIGGERS
找到合适的求职者并不容易。根据CareerBuilder的一项调查显示，大约42％的雇主担心他们无法找到所需的人才，而72.8 ％的雇主表示他们正在努力寻找相关的候选人。但人工智能（AI）可以提供帮助，或者说是Greenhouse Software可以——一家总部位于纽约的B2B人才收购创业公司。
据外媒9月17日报道，Greenhouse宣布与IBM合作，将Watson Talent和Greenhouse的客户服务整合在一起。
（It today announced a partnership with IBM that’ll customers of both Watson Talent and Greenhouse integrate the two services.）
Greenhouse首席执行官Daniel Chait说：“Greenhouse得知那些有大量招聘需求的公司已经取得成功。” “我们与IBM Watson的合作和直接集成标志着我们解决方案中的一项重要创新——使客户能够扩展他们的团队，同时也为其提供出色的候选体验。”
新的和现有的Greenhouse客户，包括Warby Parker，Airbnb和Cisco Meraki等2,600多家公司，将不受限制地访问IBM Watson 候选助手，这是一套AI工具，可以基于求职者的个性，技能和兴趣将工作与候选人匹配（反之亦然）。当然，这也是Greenhouse现有仪表板的补充，它允许公司收集各种渠道的数据（例如员工是否通过LinkedIn或GlassDoor提交了工作样本）并生成候选“记分卡”以帮助面试官对申请进行分类。
在候选助手功能中，有一个聊天机器人直接与职业页面集成，并回答有关申请流程的基本问题，以及Watson Rank，一个自然语言处理和预测平台，将简历与适用的工作相匹配。
根据IBM的说法，候选助手平均将应用程序转换率提高三倍并减少候选人弃权，其用户获得面对面访谈的可能性增加64％。
“Greenhouse的客户正在高速增长，需要以更加个性化的方式吸引高质量的求职者，”IBM Watson人才与协作解决方案总经理Bob Schultz在一份声明中表示。“合作伙伴，我们正在帮助Greenhouse及其客户提供卓越的候选体验，并在AI的帮助下快速指导求职者找到合适的位置。”
Greenhouse和IBM并不是唯一的将人工智能应用于招聘问题的公司。Hiretual 最近为其自动候选采购技术筹集了500万美元。 Vervoe 在8月推出了一个人工智能平台，用于评估申请人的在职技能，并自动推荐最佳射手来招聘经理。今年夏初，市场在职ZipRecruiter首次推出了候选校准，该校准让雇主对潜在的工作匹配进行评级，以便在其数据库中找到类似的候选者。
但至少到目前为止，Greenhouse的策略足以赢得像Riverwood Capital这样的投资者，后者在7月参与了5000万美元的融资。自2012年以来，这家初创公司共筹集了1.1亿美元。
在筹款公告发布时，Greenhouse公司首席执行官Chait表示，该公司将利用新资本来扩展其多元化和包容性功能，该功能可以组织人口统计数据，并建议用户在撰写招聘信息、进行访谈和举荐时可以更公平地行事。

智能招聘平台Greenhouse 获得5千万美金融资，总融资超过1.1亿美金来源：techcrunch
对于任何一家公司来说，找到合适的人才都是生死攸关的问题——尤其是规模较小的公司，它们可能没有谷歌等规模较大、系统完备的公司所具备的强大工具(或口袋书)。
智能招聘平台Greenhouse希望让这个过程变得简单一点，并引起了投资者的注意。
该公司表示，已从Riverwood Capital筹集了新一轮5,000万美元融资，使其总融资达到1.1亿美元。Greenhouse公司肯定不是唯一一家最近开始获得大量资金的公司，它试图打开人才获取的过程，使其更受数据驱动。但随着成本和难度的收集大量的数据在不同的人类活动已经出现新的机器学习工具,招聘背后的问题也可能是一个可以得到很多的帮助使用相同的数据科学严谨,一个聪明的谷歌搜索结果。
该公司首席执行官丹尼尔•查特说:“招聘工具和软件都是为上一代求职者设计的，求职者的思维方式可以涵盖在网站上收集简历的基本知识。”“我们发现，在人才市场上取得成功的公司能够吸引到合适的人才，在领英(LinkedIn)的人才库中找到差异制造者，在聘用谁、提供成功经验、利用数据进行优化等方面做出非常明智的决定。”他们需要工具来实现这些目标，而且比招聘软件要广泛得多。
典型的消费者对Greenhouse公司的体验可能是网站上的一些招聘信息，雇员可以在这些网站上提交公司想要的申请或附加信息。在这个框架下，Greenhouse为公司提供了找到适合它们的应用程序的途径——无论是像GlassDoor这样的应用程序，还是在互联网上有更孤立的人才群体的更小的利基市场——并为这些可用的角色找到合适的员工。所有这些行为的数据都被收集起来，这反过来又有助于Greenhouse为企业提供更好的建议，帮助它们找到适合自己需要的潜在雇员。
大家也知道在国内也有一些招聘平台参考学习Greenhouse，加上之前的Hired 获得3000万美金融资计划全球扩张，还有一些招聘类平台获得了融资，所以在招聘领域的机会依旧很大，因为劳动力在减少，尤其美国市场的失业率3.8%导致市场上劳动力根本就是供不应求。
Intelligent recruiting platform Greenhouse picks up another $50M
原文来自：https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/12/intelligent-recruiting-platform-greenhouse-picks-up-another-50m/,
Finding the right talent is a make-or-break situation for any company — especially smaller ones, which might not have the robust tools (or pocket books) of larger companies like Google that have a complete system in place. Recruiting platform Greenhouse hopes to make that process a little bit easier, and it has caught the attention of investors.
The company said it has raised a new $50 million financing round from Riverwood Capital, bringing its total funding to $110 million. Greenhouse definitely isn’t the only company that’s starting to pick up a significant amount of funding recently by trying to crack open the process of talent acquisition and make it a little more data-driven. But as the cost and difficulty of collecting enormous amounts of data on different kinds of human activity has dropped with the emergence of new machine learning tools, the problems behind recruiting may also be one that can get a lot of help from employing the same data science rigor that powers a smart Google search result.
“Hiring tools and software in the market had been built for the previous generation, with an applicant tracking mindset to cover the basics of collecting resumes on your website,” Greenhouse CEO Daniel Chait said. “We saw that winning companies in the talent market were ones who were able to attract the right talent, identify difference makers in a sea of LinkedIn profiles, make really smart decisions in who to hire, deliver winning experiences, use data to optimize. They needed tools to accomplish those goals and much broader than the recruiting software.”
The typical consumer’s experience with Greenhouse has probably been a bunch of job listings on a website somewhere, where an employee can submit an application or additional information that the company wants. Under the hood, Greenhouse provides companies with ways to find the right funnels for their applications — whether that’s something like GlassDoor or smaller niches on the Internet with more isolated pockets of talent — and discover the right employees for the roles that are available. Data is collected on all this behavior, which in turn helps Greenhouse give better recommendations for companies as to where to find potential recruits that fit their needs.
All that has to be packaged together with a generally nice user experience, both for the typical consumer and for the companies. That can boil down to actually understanding the right questions to ask, the right requirements to post in a job listing, and also making sure the process is pretty quick for people that are applying for jobs. Greenhouse implements scorecards to help interviewers — which can turn out to be a big group, depending on the position — determine whether or not candidates are the right person for the job in a more rigorous manner. And Greenhouse also hopes to work with companies with its tools to eliminate bias in the recruiting process to produce a more diverse set of hires.
“Companies are continuing to invest in recruiting and talent acquisition software,” Chait said. “As issues of talent and hiring have become more central at the C-suite, companies continue to invest in this area. Companies are starting to see the difference between HR and talent acquisition as its own specialty. If you’re a big company that has an all-in-one HR suite, it’s all well and good to have payroll and benefits in your org chart in one place, but when it comes to hiring, it’s very dynamic.”
Greenhouse is still pretty dependent on its partners, but the startup has a wide array of companies that it works with to ensure that all the right tools are available to clients to find the right candidates. If a change is coming on LinkedIn — one of the biggest homes of candidate profiles on the planet — Greenhouse is going to work with the company to ensure that nothing breaks, Chait said. Greenhouse provides an API-driven ecosystem to ensure that its tools reach all the right spots on the Internet to help companies find the best talent.
But Greenhouse isn’t the only recruiting-driven company to attract a significant round of funding. It isn’t even the only one to do so in the last month — Hired, another recruiting platform, said it raised $30 million just weeks ago to create a sort of subscription model to help funnel the right candidates to companies. But all this interest, including Greenhouse, is a product of attempts to try to find the right talent in what might be unexpected spots powered by machine learning tools that are now getting to the point where the predictions are actually pretty good.

Hiring Software Juggernaut Greenhouse Swallows $35M Series C
“We’re not trying to be the all-singing, all-dancing HR system. I don’t know how to be kickass at payroll” says Greenhouse CEO Daniel Chait. But what his startup is kicking ass at is hiring software. It now has over 800 customers including Slack and Pinterest, almost double the 450 it had when it announced its $13.9 million Series B in March.
That progress, plus dreams of international expansion and selling to even bigger corporations, has won Greenhouse another round that brings it to about $60 million in funding. The $35 million Series C led by Thrive Capital will give Greenhouse fuel to grow abroad and refine its software for larger clients. It’s not a unicorn yet, but will be soon at this rate.
The Greenhouse product fertilizes a company’s recruiting and hiring efforts. It compiles sources of job candidates such as job boards and referrals in a hiring dashboard where companies can A/B test job listings and remind employees about openings to be filled. Then during the interviews it helps hirers coordinate, Greenhouse structures the questions asked and answers received so they’re easily comparable. It all makes going from empty desk to strong hire quicker and cheaper.
Greenhouse’s revenue is set to quadruple over the course of 2015 and headcount is swelling as employees pile onto the rocket ship. But Chait’s top concern is keeping his human resources company human.
Staying personal is easy when the whole company fits around a few desks, but now Greenhouse has 125 employees. “You have a culture, but it’s very implicit, based on the founding team. As you grow, in order to sustain that culture you have to make it more explicit, talk about it, hire based on it.”“We try to act like real people” he tells me. “There’s a tendency of a lot of people where when you show up at work, you put on your worker personality and leave your real personality at home. I don’t think that does anyone justice. If you hire great people, they you should let them be themselves.”
Chait tells me payroll, hiring, and other HR tools all used to be sold in “one big monolithic system from a vendor that did everything.” Think Oracle’s omni-tool Taleo. “I want to make the case to the customer that you can be 10X better at this stuff” by using dedicated software that does a smaller set of things.
At least Chait won’t have to worry about funding for a while, since the Series C brings in more than all its previous rounds combined. He says he chose Thrive Capital because “they’re very smart, very hands-on, very involved. They’re not some corner office banker looking at a spreadsheet.”
Greenhouse has only 10% of its business overseas right now, so the funding will partially go towards more international sales offices and staff. It will also go to development of better infrastructure and compliance so Greenhouse’s software can serve even larger massive clients. There’s a few secret R&D projects in the works too.
Meanwhile, Greenhouse is hoping to keep its focus on functionality while beautifying the interface. When asked about mobile-first hiring startup Lever, Chait admitted its platform is “better looking than ours, it’s pretty.” But he stressed that hiring and setting up interviews is inherently complicated, and warned against over-simplifying it.
“When you start out, you gin yourself up to this idea that there’s this big opportunity but you can only picture so many steps ahead,” Chait says with a tinge of nostalgia for quieter days. “At this point, it’s a really tangible set of problems that we’re trying to solve. The imagination is already there.” While others sing and dance, it’s time for Greenhouse to execute.
