First-of-its-kind solution to help job seekers stand out in an increasingly automated hiring market

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, leading hiring platform Greenhouse announces its Dream Job feature has been named to TIME's Best Inventions, an annual list featuring 300 extraordinary innovations changing our lives. Dream Job, launched in June 2025, gives job seekers an edge in today's highly competitive market by allowing them to designate one application a month as their "Dream Job."

Unlike offerings simply designed to process applications at scale, Dream Job allows recruiters and hiring managers to filter through a lens of interest and enthusiasm. Candidates using Dream Job are reported to move through the hiring process at approximately 4x the rate of those who do not, and report being hired more quickly. Dream Job launched as a feature in MyGreenhouse, an inside track for job seekers with real-time updates on their applications and alerts about new opportunities that align with their experience. To date, more than 1.5M job seekers and 6,500 companies, including Everlane, Flexport, Guild, Huntress, and NPR, have joined MyGreenhouse since its launch in April 2025. 

"The job market today is fundamentally broken; candidates are frustrated and feel like they're shouting into a void, while recruiters and hiring managers are overwhelmed by the sheer number of applications they receive. Greenhouse's Dream Job lets job seekers tag one position per month as their top choice, helping recruiters and hiring managers quickly zero in on high-intent, high-likelihood candidates," said Daniel Chait, co-founder and CEO of Greenhouse. "We're honored to be recognized as one of TIME's Best Inventions in 2025 and are committed to building solutions that make hiring more human and effective."

To compile this year's list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process, paying special attention to growing fields—such as health care and AI. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact. See the full list here: time.com/collections/best-inventions-2025/
