April 30, 2026 4.0 It is my go to website for all recruitment and onboarding needs. It stores all the necessary information for all the processes. Pros How it helps keep all aspects of the recruitment and onboarding process organized, streamlined and efficient. Cons It doesn't filter out duplicate applicants and can have a buildup over time. The customer support can take a few days as well. Review Source DC Dee C.

We have had minimal technical issues, the application is easy to use and make modifications to Pros I love how customizable it is. Its very user friendly. It is direct and to the point. Their reporting is fairly good as well Cons Their customer service is not the best. They take awhile to get back to you and there have been times where they do not have a solution. Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing ApplicantStack Pricing and ease of use.

April 17, 2025 3.0 Pros You have GOT to get me the ability to mass disposition candidates. I need it or I need a new ATS. We are flooded with foreign applicants and all our jobs require US Citizenship.

We have a person we can call anytime with any problems. We did not have that with the last software. Pros Given the program's cost, I do not see any benefits to switching to AppStack. The pro is better communication. Appstack also does a better job of weeding out bad applicants. Cons The scheduling process. There is no way to integrate the schedules into our Google calendar accounts or our actual software Axiscare. Switched from [Predictiv](https://www.capterra.com/p/10022424/Predictiv/) Lack of communication. Allowed people to get through the deal breaker questions. Review Source EH Elizabeth H. Payroll and Accounting Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Elizabeth Hakim's 12/12/2024 ApplicantStack Review" December 12, 2024 4.0 In general, is fairly user friendly and intuitive. Fore the most part, we've been pleased with the amount of programming for the price. Pros I really appreciate the program's cost effectiveness and how useful is for small to mid-sized companies Cons I didn't like the fact that doesn't have a reference check program or a vendor partner (like Harver). It would also be nice if client support contact information was listed on the main screen after login. Finally, I wish we could reset applicants' passwords to the system ourselves. Alternatives considered [UKG Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/480/UKG-Pro/) Reason for choosing ApplicantStack Cost and user friendliness were the main factors. Switched from [UKG Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/480/UKG-Pro/) We used UKG through a third party vendor and it was not cost effective. Review Source Response from Swipeclock January 23, 2025 Thank you for your detailed review, Elizabeth!

So easy to post jobs to public job boards and edit and make changes. Pros It is easy to use. Very adaptable to different situations. We love the program because even when people are not good with electronic applications, we can provide a paper one and upload it and still use the ATS system. It is also VERY cost effective! Cons I can't really think of anything at the moment. It seems to do everything we need it to do. Alternatives considered [Paycor](https://www.capterra.com/p/133745/Paycor-Perform/) Reason for choosing ApplicantStack They were too expensive and not as user friendly.

December 3, 2024 5.0 I am so incredibly pleased with the capabilities of . This software has saved myself and team hours weekly in our communication with one another, streamlined candidates especially those who repeatedly apply. Makes a huge difference in efficiency and communication within the team with the transparent notes section, so we can track the entire process with each candidate. As well as see if we previously interviewed someone for another position so we make the best use of our team's time. It also makes the process so much smoother for the candidate, we have all the information at our fingertips easily when they call back on a status for a position, or to schedule an interview after we left a voicemail. It makes us look so put together and polished. The automation on the rejection letters also shows the professionalism and streamlines the process so much saving us so much time while giving the candidates the clarity they seek. Pros What I love about is it enables me to easily track the status of new, pending, and old applications/resumes. It streamlines the entire communication process with our team by the notes section and assigning stages. And the automation of rejection emails saves us thousands of hours along with increasing awareness with our applicants, as just because they weren't the right fit for one position they very well may be for others. It has made the hiring process, interviewing, and pre-screening so efficient that even the candidates are impressed when they call back to schedule an interview after we left a voicemail, and within seconds we have all of their information and resume at our tips. It makes us look like the professionals we are. Cons The only constructive criticism I have is so minor, if there was a way to select and possibly there is a large group of people to send all rejection letters out for the same time for the same position without having to do so manually, but this feature may already be in place I just don't know about it. Review Source Response from Swipeclock January 6, 2025 Thanks again for your valuable feedback—we’re excited to continue supporting your team’s efficiency! NP Nancy P.

As well lets use put candidates in different stages at all times.

Pros The fact that all documents needed for onboarding can be easily be sent to the candidate and kept stored for use later if needed and easily able to transfer over to Axis care for our needs.
