### "Overall very good. "

April 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

Tracking, ease of reading and navigating. I like that you can look back and determine who was repeat apps, and that you can classify them easily based on where they are in the process. I like that you an set up emails and such to send auto.

Cons

Can be somewhat cumbersome to get jobs posted. It is at times slow based on how much info you can put in the listing. Would like to be able to put pictures on there, but can't because it makes it operate too slow.

Good

Pros

It is easy to use and the price is great. I like how you can view all the positions in the home page. I like how you can interact with the candidates through applicanststack.

Cons

If you update the software it does look different and some things look rearranged. I have had techncial issues in the past and getting to a person was difficult. All that was provdied were guides online. Sometimes talking to a person is best.

Hi Claudia! Thank you for writing a review about ApplicantStack. I am not sure what you are referring to when you update the software. When we make an update, we announce the changes in the announcement section. The best way to receive support is via our support portal. We feel this is the most efficient way of receiving support since multiple teams can reply and add value.

Very happy with what Applicant stack does well.

### "Great value & helpful tool!"

December 18, 2019

5.0

Prior to ApplicantStack, our application process was manual without automation. My experience thus far since upgrading to an automated software has been life-giving. It has freed up time in my weekly schedule and allowed me to focus on the more important aspects of my job. The set-up was intuitive and customer service was friendly and helpful all along the way.

Pros

\- customizable forms - downloadable finished applications - multiple users - automated emails - central job launch platform - highly affordable

Cons

\- design/visual appeal is lacking - interface is not customizable

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing ApplicantStack

The price point could not be beat, which was huge for us as a small-budget non-profit. Additionally, the customization options and amount of account access (5 accounts) for my coworkers at this price point was unmatched.

Streamline application process that frees up more time for other things.

I love the ability to build an Application Workflow to effectively move candidates through each stage of the hiring process.

### "ApplicantStack Review"

October 15, 2018

5.0

The largest improvement over our previous ATS is the ability to rate candidates; comes in very handy when you have a boatload of candidates applying for the same positions!

Pros

The intuitiveness with which it is used; barely need to train new users. Reduces training time needed before they are off and running, only needing to deal with the more technical of questions.

Cons

There really is nothing to dislike. There are helpful articles in the "Help" section to answer most questions about using the ATS.

### "Glad we chose ApplicantStack"

December 18, 2019

4.0

I would imagine that our company was on a short list of initial users, a number of years ago. I was seeking a solution for our hiring/recruiting/tracking at the time, because we were starting to grow and advertise more postings all the time. Your software was a very good solution. I am no longer in the role I was in when I selected your product, and our company has grown substantially, and advertised hundreds of positions using Applicantstack. It has been reliable, and a very important piece of our recruiting success.

Pros

It's a very good solution for recruitment/tracking, with lots of features

Cons

Some areas could be streamlined, much like in other software programs

I am able to track applications that are submitted to my organization

Pros

This system appears to be easy for applicants to submit applications and attach resumes. It is just as easy for employers to pull applications and track hiring information

Cons

Would like more options to customize my site set-up. It appears to me that the "canned" set-up has a lot to offer, but it is not easy to mitigate customization. Also, I would like to have more than two user and I have not been able to make that happen.

Pros

### "Great Product"

October 17, 2018

5.0

I was a bit hesitant to go digital with our hiring process, but once we made the switch, I can't imagine going back. Tech support has always been friendly and accommodating, quick to get back with me when I have questions.

Pros

ApplicantStack keeps our hiring process streamlined. We no longer have to dig through piles or files to find relevant information about prospective employees. All our hiring paperwork is digital, from application to orientation materials.

Cons

I suppose the forms can be a bit tedious to create at times, but this isn't something you have to do often enough for it to be a problem.
