A more effective hiring strategy

There’s a curve that companies climb as they improve their hiring process – we call it the Greenhouse Hiring Maturity curve. To best understand how to improve hiring at your company, it’s key to assess where you fall on this curve: chaotic, inconsistent, systematic or strategic.


At Open Forum: Hire with Confidence, you’ll hear from top talent experts and participate in a live workshop to identify specific tactics to move up this curve, and get even better at hiring.
