The differences in detail

ATS workflow

Both help you manage candidates, but Panelynx goes further by connecting the ATS with structured interviews and panel decisions.

Structured interviews

Both ship structured interview kits natively. Panelynx keeps the plan, the rubric and the expected answers on the question itself, so the same role gets the same interview whoever runs it.

Scorecards & debriefs

Both can hide other interviewers’ feedback until you submit your own. Panelynx adds the comparison after the lock: one column per panelist, and a badge wherever the panel is split.

AI and insights

Greenhouse Notetaker records the interview and writes the summary. Panelynx never joins or records a call; its AI reads the scorecards and notes and offers a second opinion with its reasoning shown.

Analytics & calibration

Panelynx provides interview quality, calibration and pipeline analytics to help you improve over time. Greenhouse offers strong hiring reports, with more focus on pipeline and operations.

Pricing & buying motion

Panelynx offers simple, transparent pricing with fast time to value. Greenhouse typically has custom pricing for mid-market and enterprise organizations.

Frequently asked questions
Is Panelynx a replacement for Greenhouse?

For a company hiring through its careers page, referrals, direct sourcing and agencies, yes: the whole loop runs in Panelynx. It is not a replacement if you need job-board posting, an integrations marketplace or a mobile app.

Can we migrate our data from Greenhouse?

By spreadsheet. Export your candidates from your current system, then import the file into Panelynx and map the columns. There is no Greenhouse-specific importer, and we do not read your Greenhouse account.

How does Panelynx's AI work?

It reads the written evidence: the scorecards, the notes and the interview plan. It offers a second opinion and shows its reasoning. It never writes a score of record, never moves a candidate and never records a decision.

Which platform is more affordable?

Panelynx prices are published, charged per recruiter seat per month, and hiring managers and interviewers do not need a paid seat. Greenhouse quotes on request, so a like-for-like number is not ours to publish.

Can we run a pilot before making a decision?

Yes. The pilot runs for 60 days on one open role, founder-led, with no card. Onboarding is part of the pilot rather than something you do alone.
