May 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

The ability to upload documents to each candidate's profile. Seeing the number of candidates in each phase is nice as well.

Cons

Wish the notes were displayed in a more user friendly manner. When posting positions, the font/text/overall look does not look the way it should.

### "Does the job, would like to see some more features but good value for the price"

May 24, 2018

4.0

I work for a non-profit so finding money in the budget for recruiting tools can be a challenge. Applicant Stack is the perfect happy medium. It's not super pricey like other ATS but it does a nice job of housing information in one place and getting rid of those awful paper files. We were a little slow in getting here but hello, 21st century!

Pros

Good value. It offers a good number of features, is easy to use, and convenient. Also love that it's mobile friendly.

Cons

I don't like that if a candidate wants to apply for multiple jobs, they have multiple different applications/profiles. To see notes about the person you'd have to go into every individual job they applied for. Wish this could be changed.

### "Great for Small Businesses"

March 16, 2015

4.5

Pros

I researched a number of Applicant Tracking Systems for my organization, Praescient Analytics, about three years ago. We were a growing start up who was looking for something that could keep up with our rapid growth, but weren't looking to break the bank. ApplicantStack has done 90% of what we needed for a fraction of the cost. Their customer service is excellent. I would highly recommend purchasing ApplicantStack if you're currently trying to do without a formal system or are spending far too much on a platform that has capabilities that just aren't necessary for companies under 200 hundred employees. ApplicantStack doesn't lock you into long term contracts, and it allows you to adjust your level of service to meet your needs.

Cons

ApplicantStack doesn't integrate into other systems outside of Excel exports. If you're looking for your ATS to work seamlessly with other systems, then this won't be your best bet.

### "AppStack review"

October 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like that candidates are easy to move between stages and all communication can be found easily in the profile.

Cons

I wish it was a little more intuitive. For instance, when I've emailed a candidate, it would be nice if the stage got automatically set to "Waiting for email back."

Hi Stephanie! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. There are so many customization's within ApplicantStack to automate your process. You can set that up in your account! I would suggest creating a stage that would trigger an email and the ending stage would be "Waiting for email back" stage. Please contact support if you need any further assistance.

April 19, 2018

4.0

Cons

### "Great Software "

December 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like that all we have to do is submit our ads and the program sends out to all popular job board, once caregivers have submitted their application all we have to do is submit paperwork to the applicant. If we decide to move forward with the applicant its automatically uploaded into our system

Cons

I really do not have any cons at this moment

December 20, 2019

5.0

Great - the customer service is always very responsive and easy to work with, we haven't experienced any downtime with the service, and the pricepoint is great.

Pros

The ease of making so many customizations myself.

Cons

It does have some limitations and not as many "bells & whistles" as some products on the market.

### "Works great overall but has some functionality glitches"

April 19, 2018

4.0

Easy to use applicant tracking system that makes it easy to screen applicants and move them from the recruitment to onboarding stages to finalize everything that human resources needs to do

Pros

Easy to use and is intuitive. Largely error free and it is easy to enter and maintain persons put into the system

Cons

Several forms do not populate properly when submitted by applicants, there need to be character limits/restrictions on text boxes, if too many characters is going to change the way the text appears on the page (sentences overlap each other when on the applicant end everything looks totally normal)

It provides us with candidates but as said earlier, not the results we used to get.

### "Good Software for Large Companies"

June 14, 2019

4.0

It was easy to use and easy to navigate. It made on boarding new hires organized and easy. Helped sort applicants so I feel I wasted less time interviewing and only interviewed the most qualified applicants.

Pros

This software makes it easy to review applicants to an open position, sort them, and get them in for an interview. Automated emails keeps the applicant and hiring manager on the same page. Easy to see important information up front (if they have applied before, if they were rejected before and why, etc.).

Cons

No pricing plan for smaller businesses. Can't really justify the cost unless you are dealing with hundreds of applicants at the same time.

Being able to keep all of my applicants in a system that was easy for review.

Pros

I love being able to review previous candidates. When I have a new opening I am able to go back and review candidates that applied and offer them another potential opportunity.
