About Greenhouse
What is Greenhouse?
An applicant tracking and recruiting platform built around structured hiring: job kickoffs, scorecards, interview kits and consistent evaluation. Its AI features include talent matching, spam and fraud detection on applications, identity verification, and assistants that summarise candidate information for hiring teams. Greenhouse is an AI human resources tool that automates recruitment screening, employee onboarding, performance management, and HR data analysis.
Greenhouse suits Australian companies hiring regularly across several teams. AI matching and screening must not produce outcomes that discriminate on protected attributes under the Sex Discrimination Act, Racial Discrimination Act, Disability Discrimination Act, Age Discrimination Act and state laws, so keep humans making decisions and audit results. Candidate data is personal information under the Privacy Act 1988, and applicants should know how it is used. Offers and contracts must reflect the Fair Work Act and relevant modern awards.

Data Residency & Privacy in Australia
Greenhouse's sub-processor list shows Amazon Web Services hosting with processing locations in the United States, Germany and Australia, following its 2025 announcement of a local data centre. AI features use large language models from Anthropic and OpenAI, both listed as US-based. Ask your account team which region your instance uses and whether candidate data is sent offshore for AI processing.

Getting Started with Greenhouse in Australia
Greenhouse is available directly at greenhouse.com. Start with the highest-volume, most time-consuming HR task (typically resume screening or FAQ responses). Configure the AI with your specific criteria, compliance requirements, and brand voice. Review AI decisions for the first 30 days before reducing oversight.
Outside help is most useful when the tool has to connect to existing systems, handle personal information, or be rolled out to a whole team. AI Lab Australia works with businesses across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide on that setup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Greenhouse
Does Greenhouse store data in Australia?
Greenhouse lists Australia among the AWS processing locations in its sub-processor register, after announcing an Australian data centre in 2025. Confirm with your account team that your own instance is hosted there, and note that AI features may still call model providers listed as based in the United States.
Is Greenhouse's AI screening legal in Australia?
AI-assisted screening is allowed, but employers remain responsible for outcomes. If matching or filtering disadvantages candidates on protected attributes such as age, sex, race or disability, that can breach federal and state anti-discrimination laws. Keep people making the decisions and review results regularly.
Is Greenhouse suitable for small businesses?
Greenhouse is built for organisations hiring regularly across several teams, with annual contracts and no public pricing. A business hiring a few people a year may find lighter applicant tracking tools, or Australian options such as JobAdder, easier to set up and better value.
