### "This app does a lot!"

April 26, 2018

3.0

Every day that I get on, I find something new that it does.

Pros

I haven't even tapped into the full extent of this application. It does do a lot and I am still learning.

Cons

I like this app I just wish when we were in the recruiting side on an employee they could stay on that same employee when we switch over to the onboarding side.

Hi Karen! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. I will forward your feedback to our development team. However, I would encourage you to contact support since there might be a simple solution to the recruiter remaining with the candidate once moved over to onboard.

### "Good product, makes reviewing and hiring candidates easy"

May 14, 2018

5.0

Ease of managing different applicants

Pros

Navigation and flexibility, it is very easy to find different applicants in multiple stages of the hiring process

Cons

Printing usually prints off the paper regardless of settings. This makes printing applications bothersome

### "Great resource! A game changer for our business!"

April 7, 2016

5.0

Pros

This product is easy to use and easy to train best practices. Working with the reps at ApplicantStack has been nothing but a great experience. They are very responsive, fair, eager to help and always solution oriented. The system has done so much for making our hiring process and reporting data more efficient and valuable across our network.

Cons

I honestly cannot say that there is anything that I don't like about this product or working with this company. They are very proactive and solution oriented. If something doesn't work, they provide excellent service in a timely manner to fix or resolve the issue or explain it in further detail. If we want something done differently, they really do try to find a solution that will work for what we want to accomplish.

### "A solution for a distributed workforce"

December 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

Flexibility. I was able to set up many tasks, ask questions, create forms to have BOTH the candidates/ hires and Hiring Managers to complete so that everything is complete for the personnel file for a distributed workforce. So far I have used the portal for new, and current employees for on-going events such as open enrollment, etc.

Cons

The help files sometimes have broken links, but the help desk is responsive.

### "Good System for Small Business"

December 10, 2019

4.0

Once I was able to dig into the system and get it set up correctly for our company we were able to see increased success.

Pros

The system is mostly customizable and good for most recruiting needs.

Cons

Some features can't be changes. For instance, we would like the default screen to be "All Jobs" vs "My Jobs" and this is not an option at this point.

### "Ways to help"

November 13, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like the fact that all of the application comes directly to my email. You dont have to go on a hunt to see who has applied.

Cons

I dont like the fact that you have to go out of one page into another to hire. I wish you could click a tap and more them over to hiring.

### "Easy, user friendly"

December 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

It's pretty straight forward. Brief training session and the rest was easy to get the hang of. It good for a small size business (what we are) and has everything we need.

Cons

It would be nice to be able to sort the jobs alphabetically or by job code ID. When I want to go back and look for a previous posting, I have to go page by page looking for it.

### "Best App ever!"

October 16, 2018

5.0

App stack is super easy, functional and its everything you need in one place! I love that I can email people straight from the app, but also that I can reply to emails from my email without logging into the app.

Pros

Love the ease of use and the functionality!

Cons

I don't like that if you want to have it open in two screens that you have to log back in.

### "Neutral"

December 20, 2019

3.0

I don't feel like our HR department has had enough time to fully explore what all applicant stack has to offer and what current abilities we have through the software.

Pros

Its very simple to duplicate a job posting and make minor changes. Easy and quick to launch the openings to third party sites.

Cons

The view of the application once printed. Very hard to read.

### "Small Business Wins with ApplicantStack! "

October 15, 2018

5.0

Small business looking for a robust, affordable ATS. Reviewed many. Nobody even came close to the functionality/cost combination AS offered. Once purchased, AS helped integrate to outside website and the platform allows unlimited customization. Our ability to reach and engage candidates has improved exponentially since we purchased AS

Pros

Out-of-the-box solutions. We began using AS right away and worked to customize as we went forward. Immediate functionality was a great thing!

Cons

None. Unless you can make it totally free :)

### "It is easy to use, sometimes hard for candidates to receive emails from. "

May 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like how quick and easy I can post a job to multiple job boards. Sorting and assess applicants is fairly easy to do also.

Cons

When we move applicants through the hiring process some of the required forms get lost when emailed to applicants and they can not find them. This causes the process to hire people to be longer while we resend and try to find lost forms.

On boarding is a new feature we have started using which saves us time for new hires but there are a few issues's we run into when some does not have computer experience.

### "Easy to use among a large team"

December 10, 2019

4.0

I have been able to hire and communicate with a lot of potential hires using this software. It helps me stay organized and meets all of my hiring needs.

Pros

Me and a team of 5 other people use ApplicantStack for our hiring needs. We're able to customize stages for applications so it is easily digestible to anyone using it. This is great because it reduces the amount of communication outside of the website between team members.

Cons

The website design is lacking and the amount of options that are unneeded clutter up the interface. It does take an hour or so to learn, but is not self explanatory.

### "yes to App Stack!"

December 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software will merges well with other software- saving me time. I enjoy the fact that I can create several templates for letters, and that I easily post links to the application. The ability to text applicants is a huge benefit.

Cons

Lest enjoyable is the the fact that onboarding and recruiting are separate. I often need to toggle back and forth-- would love to just have additional tabs on the recruiting end, keeping all "history" together.

### "Excellent software for what our agency needs it for."

June 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

What I like most is the ability to Track candidates stages & automatically send emails. The Customer Service of our AppStack representative has been awesome! The reports for tracking people are also very beneficial, as long as we're setting the stages correctly!

Cons

Some functions could be fine-tuned for better efficiency, and less hassle for the user. Sometimes the generated reports are inaccurate compared to the solid data I track on my own.

This tool is intuitive, easy-to-use, and allows me to comb through job candidates quickly and efficiently.
