The investment is a loud endorsement of Greenhouse after a turbulent year for the startup, which provides software to companies to track job applicants and bolster recruiting efforts. After the Covid-19 pandemic hit the United States in March, Greenhouse laid off almost a quarter of its employees as it watched hiring plummet across the entertainment, hospitality and travel industries.

Chait, a serial founder who’s previous company advised global banks on technology strategies, says he saw firsthand the need for better back-office technology for recruiting tasks within human resources departments, before he launched Greenhouse in 2011 as a co-founder. While the company has grown, it has been almost 3 years since Greenhouse last raised capital, when it secured a $50 million series D funding round led by Riverwood Capital in 2018.
