The best love affairs? They aren’t dramatic (sorry Romeo and Juliet). They’re a partnership. That theme extends to connecting the right duo of software for the best results in hiring, too.
To start, in hiring the best talent, you likely seek diversity and inclusion. That’s equally critical to your business and values! We know you think of it all, and want to create the most hospitable experience. Look no further.
To that end, in the HR software space, Greenhouse is one of the best tools for organizing and creating the strongest hiring experience.

Like an in-step, in-pace dance partner, Concord two-steps with Greenhouse by extending that great experience for hiring contracts.
Here are the 5 steps to hiring with Greenhouse, and then managing employment documents with Concord. We’ll also help you get started with Concord!
1. First, What Makes a Great Hiring Experience?
These days, the hiring climate is competitive as work structures evolve. Candidates are seeking a consistent and clear application experience, advises Glassdoor—as well as shared values.
A great hiring experience, and onboarding process, signals how healthy and organized your business is.
Navigating the process behind the scenes with the right tools takes some of the heavy lifting off your shoulders. It should also make your organization much more attractive to candidates.
The stats are in: Businesses that focus on a great candidate experience up the quality of new talent hires by 70 percent, says Glassdoor. The hiring process is your new talent’s first experience of how they can expect to work with you.
However, these are some of the main reasons candidates and new hires give for a poor experience:
- Lackluster onboarding
- Fuzzy or ambiguous communication about job roles and duties
- Inconsistency in employee engagement and empathy
Unfortunately (edited), only 12 percent of new hires readily say that they had a good onboarding experience.
What, in fact, makes a great hiring experience?
It begins at the first touchpoint, where you set the stage for how competent and caring your organization is.
So, include the following:
- Let candidates know what to expect at every stage of the process.
- Keep communication simple, and clear.
- Train employees on interviewing skills.
- Send immediate feedback when sending a rejection letter.
When you manage that process well internally, it will show externally. The right tools give you an advantage over your competition.
2. Connect Tools That are Best-in-Class for Superior Experience
