Case Study: Hudson River Trading achieves scalable, automated onboarding and stronger employee belonging with Greenhouse Software

How Greenhouse Onboarding gives Hudson River Trading the agility to build belonging in a distributed and global workforce

Hudson River Trading, a quantitative trading firm with about 500 employees across nine global offices, needed a scalable way to welcome new hires while keeping company values front and center. LoriBeth Manzolillo and Hannah DiBruno had cobbled together onboarding with Google Sheets, Trello and dozens of Zapier automations, but the brittle system became error-prone and unsustainable as the company grew and hires became increasingly distributed.

Building on their Greenhouse Recruiting partnership, HRT adopted Greenhouse Onboarding to automate task workflows, replace 40+ custom Zapier automations, and deliver choreographed introductions and buddy emails that foster belonging before day one. The result: fewer errors and reminders, location-specific task assignments for distributed teams, faster onboarding of large classes and interns, and more HR time for strategic work—plus plans to further streamline data flow by integrating ADP.
