Our take
Quality candidates are in demand and have options. It's not easy for companies to make the perfect hire. They face recruitment challenges. Firstly, they have to find the right people to interview. And secondly, they have to demonstrate that they have the right job for them.
Greenhouse is a hiring software company that helps companies optimize their recruitment and become great at it. With over 7,500 customers, the company supports some of the world's most successful companies such as Buzzfeed, Booking.com, HubSpot, and J.D. Power.
In January 2021, TPG Growth acquired a majority stake in Greenhouse with an investment of approximately $500M to support their commitment to improve diversity and reduce inequality in the hiring process.
Since the acquisition, Greenhouse has experienced significant growth, increasing revenues from $86.4M in 2021 to $266.3M in 2024. Its fair to say, the company is seeing great success and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
