Case Study: Auto Trader achieves increased candidate diversity and inclusive, data-driven hiring with Greenhouse Software

How Greenhouse is helping Auto Trader improve candidate diversity for better business outcomes

Auto Trader, the UK’s largest automotive platform with 1,200 employees and more than 77 million cross-platform visits a month, needed to modernize recruiting while preserving its heritage brand. Head of Resourcing Hannah Yates found their previous ATS and manual processes made it hard to run structured, evidence-based hiring and to access DE&I data, limiting their ability to promote diverse and inclusive hiring across automotive and tech roles.

By adopting Greenhouse’s structured hiring and inclusion features—scorecards, single-source reporting, and built-in demographic tools—Auto Trader streamlined data collection, reduced bias, and made DE&I insights easy to act on. The results include a 10% rise in women hires and an 8% rise in hires who identify as people of color in FY24, candidate experience scores up from 72% to 88%, about 90% candidate response to equal-opportunity questions, and faster, more personalized hiring practices.
