ApplicantStack has been very effective in finding good quality people. It is easy to use and we get many new employees off of here.
We switched to ADP and it was horrible. We decided to switch back to Applicant Stack.
Great User friendly website, good website to use, easy to apply, good reporting & metrics structure, good way to be focussed on the market.
I also own two businesses. It is odd to me that in one business the cost is $30 more a month than the other one for some reason.
Easy for all ability levels to on-board to. The customization ability to our needs helps and we are able to change it immediately if need be.
I wish I had some applicant stack gear, sometimes we may have some small technical errors when the system shuts down but who doesn't, if it does its back up in no time.
They are very responsive, fair, eager to help and always solution oriented. The system has done so much for making our hiring process and reporting data more efficient and valuable across our network.
I found it a little frustrating when I posted a job in the site and Indeed.com would not post as they required more detail.
Overall, I have had a pretty good experience with Fountain. I think that it's a great platform and mediator between the candidate and interviewer.
The implementation was difficult, we lost our Account Rep in the process. It was a lot of self discovery versus the support we had expected.
The customer service has always been excellent and their ability to grow with the needs of their clients is worth mentioning.
There is no drop down arrow anymore to notify the use that there is a duplicate application/account.
Overall, Fountain has fantastic features that make the hiring & on-boarding processes easier to deal with and this came with a great price point as well.
The interface can be really messy/ugly and sometimes difficult to sync with google calendars and other softwares used during hiring process.
The product is very easy to use and Fountain is always looking to upgrade and improve their platform. Candidates tend to love it.
Fountain's focus is on functionality and obviously less so in the UI. There's limited design customization which makes it hard to utilize certain features.
Mark K.: Hi, my name is Mark. I'm a lead generator. I give Applicant Stack a five out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below. We use Applicant Stack to track the incoming applicants and candidates from the start of the application process all the way through hiring or the do not pursue phase. One of my absolute favorite things about Applicant Stack is A, how customizable it is and also how intuitive it is. We bring on a ton of different new people. We're a very, very large company. So the fact that it is simple to use and pretty intuitive is a major benefit to us as well as the reporting is very beneficial. So we can draw up pretty much any type of report and call any type of data that we can imagine. So it is a very, very versatile product. The one thing I wish I could change about Applicant Stack, and again, this may be a use your error type thing, but is the exporting of the reports. There's other programs out there that export the data already in a nice, neat, pretty picture. Whereas once you export the data out of Applicant Stack, at least in my experience, you have to manipulate it in order to get the graphs and the charts that you want.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
