December 10, 2019

5.0

Great program and easy to use to manage job posts and candidates. Easily side panel for setting configurations and self explanatory.

Pros

Very easy to use and navigate, user friendly. After I was trained on the system for 1 day, I was able to navigate easily and use it on my own without any trouble.

Cons

I did notice when I send an email in Applicant, sometimes the message goes through as a duplicate and the customer tells me they received the same email twice.

### "I can get questions answers FAST. Projects can get approved instantly. It's a great tool for teams."

May 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

Being able to communicate instantly without my in-box filling up. My team can get questions answered fast. Projects get out the door quicker, ideas can flow in one channel instantly, communication is better, people feel more comfortable sending a quick message than calling or talking in person.

Cons

I use Slack on my iPhone when I'm away from my desk. I don't get the messages in a timely manner. My team thinks I am not paying attention to our Slack channel.

Hi Deb! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. I am not sure why you mention Slack in your review. That is a completely different product. Any ApplicantStack notification should be just about instant via your email. Please contact support it you are having any issues with your ApplicantStack account.

### "My experience was great. "

June 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

I was able to see not only full applications but the Inquiries as well. It was a big help with bringing Caregivers in and finish their application progress.

Cons

We have some issues when Hiring over due to a date being put in the Issuing State for Drivers License. Thats it!

### "Overall, my experience with ApplicantStack is positive. It is easy to use and extremely helpful. "

April 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

I love the organization! It's so helpful that it allows us to create shared notes on candidates, tracks communication, and keeps everything organized and dated.

Cons

I can't think of anything major. One internal issue we've had is that several of us make notes on candidates that get sent in to our HR rep who will then either set up interviews or release candidates. It can be confusing as to how to mark that candidate in such a way that the HR rep knows that its been assessed by every person providing input.

Hi Kara! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. I will forward your feedback to our development team. I would love to know more information about how you are doing your review process. Please contact support so we can help you with it. I would suggest creating a feedback form and have each user complete the feedback on the candidate. The HR rep could be notified and when (let's say) all 3 feedback forms are complete the rep can then evaluate the feedback for the next steps.

May 25, 2018

4.0

Easy access for applicants to apply to our company.

Pros

It is very easy for the applicants to use. We have a continuous flow of applicants, which is great! I find the stages very helpful. It allows me to keep track as to where I am with each applicant. I also love that I can send correspondence directly from the system.

Cons

I don't find the reports easy to run. The data is not organized well and I find it very difficult to create a custom report.

### "I find it challenging to review and weed through the applicants using this software. "

May 9, 2018

3.0

Organizing the hiring process.

Pros

It organizes the hiring process in one place. I like the ability to send emails in bulk to applicants. I like the ability to assign a task to someone else.

Cons

There's no way to rank applicants based on looking at their application materials while I'm reviewing them to enable me to go back and review the most promising candidates.

Wonderful addition to our recruitment!

Pros

ApplicantStack is well laid out and organized. It makes hiring and tracking very easy for our team.

Cons

The last time they updated the search function added not only the applicant's name but what position they applied for. It is too congested for my liking.

### "I really like ApplicantStack!"

October 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that ApplicantStack includes so many different aspects of HR information--it's so nice to have timekeeping, PTO, and tax information all in one place. I also love that my staff can access all of that information themselves--it definitely helps keep things of my plate.

Cons

I don't always love the way the punch system is set up. Sometimes it's hard for my staff to tell when they've successfully punched, so they end up creating multiple unnecessary punches every so often.

### "I use it all day at work. Works great!"

May 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

that when the candidate emails me in Outlook, it links to their AS profile. Also, that I can group particular candidates by category and review them that way.

Cons

Sometimes it freezes or is slow. Which causes issues while I'm on the phone conducting an interview. I have to stall them until the system picks back up again.

### "Overall a great experience"

March 21, 2016

4.0

Pros

It's awesome that Applicantstack posts our job ads on different sites which saves a lot of time and money and brings more applicants. I like how all of the sections are organized. I can easily find applicants in whatever stage of the application process they are in and view under their history section every communication or process they have completed with our company. The automatic follow-up after people inquire, begin, or complete an application is very helpful in keeping applicants informed and engaged. Once reports are setup its helpful to be able to track our progress.

Cons

I needed help setting up some of the reports so it would be more helpful if the reporting section was more user friendly. Also I would like to be able to customize the application templates on my own.
