### "Review"

October 23, 2018

5.0

Benefits are huge in terms of keeping candidates organized and keeping a pipeline of candidates for future opportunities. Hiring Managers can view position(s), candidates and see history. Onboarding function is excellent too for keeping track of candidate on boarding paperwork.

Pros

Really good to keep resumes and candidates organized and have a good pipeline of candidates.

Cons

When using candidate search function when you click on a candidate then want to return to list it takes you back to start of list. Would be good to go back to where you were on the list not to have to scroll through again.

### "it has been great resource and easy to use"

April 26, 2018

5.0

tracking and reporting

Pros

The easy to use and post positions online. You keep the applications for future use and can add notes for reference.

Cons

I do not like that I have to send all my request online. I would like to be able to speak to a person regarding questions or advise. My communication currently is via email.

### "Unifies many voices in the process of hiring! Super helpful! "

April 19, 2018

5.0

Streamlined hiring experience; data collected over time; simplicity of communication with candidates and colleagues alike.

Pros

I like that there is one repository for all candidate information, even if 6-8 people are involved in the process of getting someone hired. I like that you can check in real time about the status of a candidate. I like that it keeps track of all the (many) attempts various candidates might have applied for a same (or different) positions within the organization. I like that it is web-based, and accessible from anywhere.

Cons

It can be temperamental, sometimes, in sustaining the email notification settings (I find inconsistencies about various notifications at times). But I can always access it.

### "Excellent Applicant Tracking System!"

April 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

Ease of use, capability to sort and ease of posting new positions. Very user-friendly and streamlines the application tracking process along with sending/forwarding to departmental hiring managers. Has useful reports and is customizable to fit applicant questionnaires, document attachment requirements, etc.

Cons

N/a - I can't think of any issues. This software is very user friendly and streamlines the applicant tracking process.

### "AppStack Review"

November 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

I appreciate the access to such a wide variety of applicants without having to check multiple sites. Consolidates the hiring search process.

Cons

I wish there was a way to reject partial applications; where an application will not be submitted to the employer if areas are not filled out accordingly. This feature would help to get ahead on deciphering between serious applicants verses those not unable/unwilling to follow the required steps of applying.

### "Applicant recordkeeping made simple"

October 23, 2018

5.0

I love ApplicantStack. We post the position and immediately start receiving notifications to my email in box alerting me to applications. I can review them at my own pace, rating them as appropriate for follow up, whether I've had a phone interview, in person interview, rejected them (and why), etc. I can also forward to my manager for her review and approval. I like that I can send a notification to the applicant directly from ApplicaStack alerting them to our decisions. Once I've hired someone, the applications remain within ApplicantStack for compliance reporting at the end of the year.

Pros

All applications are housed in one place. You can sort them however you need to. You can rate and set each application at whatever stage you deem appropriate. Also it's nice to have a lower level review before forwarding for manager review. It's a good place for maintain a history of job applicants for compliance reporting.

Cons

I have no cons to list, I think it's all great.

### "App Stack recruiter "

December 10, 2019

4.0

My over all experience with it is fair, I feel like we had a difficult time transitioning into Applicant Stack from our previous system that was very basic. I am not sure how many issues we have resolved though.

Pros

easier as an employer to fill out documents, easier to see the candidates you are working with, a lot can be done on applicant stack instead of using personal email or phone, being able to search with multiple filters

Cons

a lot of steps to move someone through, testing (for nurses to complete) cannot be done through the software; have to use third party, a lot of bugs we are working out, texting only allows 140 characters. difficulty to switch "managers" of a new hire.

### "Functional to fit a small budget"

December 10, 2019

5.0

I've had to adjust information to allow for the onboarding of a rehire. It would not let me get to the new onboarding without removing the applicant's previous information.

Pros

The ability to upload documents for e-signature.

Cons

I have to create a posting, then go back in and set the specific close date or else the job will not close.

Reason for choosing ApplicantStack

Price point combined with functionality.

### "Repeat Customer "

April 23, 2021

5.0

We now have a system to track applicants instead of sending your resume to an email. All of our resumes are in one area. My implementation representative was great.

Pros

Ease of implementation. Ease of the program. Cost!

Cons

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. Might be helpful to have this information from the start.

Reason for choosing ApplicantStack

I used this program with a previous employer and really liked it.

### "ApllicantStack. Makes recruiting easy"

October 17, 2018

5.0

The features allow you to quickly review and process applications. It captures decisions and enables communications to be managed in an efficient and constructive way

Pros

The automated features that mean you can process applications quickly and efficiently.

Cons

It would benefit from an automatic reminder of applications that need reviewing over a longer period of time, for applicants that are not quite ready for employment but might be at some future point.

April 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like that it keeps record of all positions and applicants. I also like that you can keep record of who was interviewed, and hired.

Cons

I wish it talked to our system in HR so we didn't have to manually input all applicants manually in our HRIS system.

Since we integrated ApplicantStack's onboarding, our productivity has greatly increased. We have our own forms with esignatures and our new hires have appreciated the automated import of their basic demographics.

Pros

Direct posting to external job boards and onboarding.

Hard to look up applicants by partial last names since last update.

ApplicantStack is a time saving software that distributes ads to multiple sources and provides historical data that can be recalled and reused.

### "Good for Candidate Sourcing"

December 10, 2019

4.0

I like using ApplicantStack because it allows me to create custom templates that I can save and keep track of where the applicant is at in the process.

Pros

I like that I can keep track of where a candidate is at in the process. I can rate each candidate and make notes on their status.

Cons

It can be confusing to create a new job ad and took me a couple of times to figure out how to open up the job posting to job board.

Reason for choosing ApplicantStack

I did not purchase ApplicantStack or make the decision on what product our company uses.

### "ApplicantStack has been an easy system to use, and have continued to provide updates to improve it."

April 25, 2018

4.0

It was cost friendly and easy to search candidates.

Pros

It's easy to use and fairly intuitive. They've continued to add new features which I've found are really helpful.

Cons

It would be nice if they had the ability to create a pool to put candidates in, instead of having to add them to a draft requisition. Also, it would be nice if they had a mobile app to accompany the online experience.
