Case Study: trivago achieves faster, more agile hiring with Greenhouse Software

Responding to labor market changes with agility at trivago

trivago, the Düsseldorf-based travel-search company (part of Expedia Group), was scaling past 800 employees and facing hundreds of applicants per role. Their legacy recruiting tool couldn’t support the company’s need for customized team processes, reliable reporting, clear hiring-manager communication, fast candidate screening, or confident GDPR-compliant data handling.

By adopting Greenhouse, trivago gained customizable job experiences, robust reporting, and automated screening that let recruiters focus on top candidates. The platform combined structure with flexibility—allowing steps to be rearranged when needed—improved recruiter strategic insight, enhanced candidate experience in a tight market, and reduced average time to hire to 50 days.
