GetPruf vs Greenhouse Real Talent
Greenhouse Real Talent is a built-in fraud-spam filter inside Greenhouse ATS. GetPruf works outside any ATS and produces a shareable, audit-ready PDF report. If you are on Greenhouse, they can be complementary. If you are not - GetPruf is the only option.
Executive summary
Greenhouse Real Talent only works for Greenhouse customers - a small minority of mid-market hiring teams. It filters spam and obvious fraud inside the ATS but does not produce defensible scoring or exportable documentation. GetPruf works outside any ATS, produces audit-ready PDFs, and publishes its methodology. If you are on Greenhouse, GetPruf adds external evidence they cannot provide. If you are not, GetPruf is the only one of the two available.
When Greenhouse Real Talent wins
- You are already a paying Greenhouse ATS customer. Real Talent is included - zero-cost add-on.
- You want to filter obvious spam at the top of the funnel (applications from bot networks, mass-submitted resumes). Real Talent catches these.
- You do not need exportable documentation or audit trails beyond the ATS. Everything stays inside Greenhouse.
When GetPruf wins
- You are not on Greenhouse. That is 95% of mid-market hiring teams. Greenhouse Real Talent is not an option.
- You need an exportable, shareable PDF report for hiring committees, MSP clients, EEOC defense, or board reviews. Greenhouse keeps scores inside the ATS.
- You want published methodology. Real Talent's scoring is not publicly documented. GetPruf publishes the full formula.
- You want the same screening standard across multiple ATSes (some teams use Greenhouse for engineering + Workable for ops, etc.). GetPruf is ATS-agnostic.
