### "Feature rich software but needs better reports/search functionality"

October 29, 2018

4.0

I would recommend applicantstack. It is worth it for the money.

Pros

The software is easy to use. It has a lot of features. Especially like the communications features where you can email candidates while keeping a log of the communication. Also, forward candidates to hiring managers.

Cons

I found the reports functionality not as use friendly and a little lacking. It wasn't easy to make a report to search for past candidates in a specific state or city under specific jobs.

### "Good Product"

October 17, 2018

4.0

Good

Pros

Electronic signatures, All forms in one spot

Cons

Sometimes when exporting the software not all completed areas of a form show up and I have to export 3-4 times. The application itself cannot be exported as a document and I am unable to share the application with Managers who are not users of applicant stack. The information does not feed into our payroll system.

### "I am satisfied with the product"

December 20, 2019

4.0

Overall I find the product useful to me and my staff. I'd like to see additional features added that would allow for sharing with colleagues, either within my team and outside of the team for referrals.

Pros

It conveniently allows me to have a single point to track my hiring. It allows for me to organize and share candidates, track my interviewing notes and aids me with the final decision making process.

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to navigate and locate items

### "Has made the process from HR to hire streamlined. "

May 8, 2018

4.0

Streamlined hiring process

Pros

Ease of communication and documentation as to where in the review and hiring process things are. Anyone can jump in and know where to continue the process. Our HR department is not located in the same building. It is easy to know where each other are in the process.

Cons

Sometimes difficult to see attached resumes and compare information with other applicants. It took some time to learn how to navigate and use all the features.

May 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

All the customizable options and being able to make templates are very useful. Also being able to have the different levels of access and viewing rights is good.

Cons

Not being able select only some notifications to come through and to turn off others. I'd like to be able to turn on the notifications for some of the jobs we post but keep them off for others.

### "Paperless with ease "

December 10, 2019

5.0

We have fewer people coming in to complete paper applications and I don't have to keep track of applications or worry about the staff misplacing paperwork. I can answer an application status without rummaging through stacks of paper. This has been a timer saver for sure. I love the job posting features!!

Pros

The convenience and functionality of being able to review applications and forward interview requests and details. I can see at a glance who has completed on boarding paperwork and run reports to compare the skills of our applicants.

Cons

I have not been able to forward additional paperwork to applicants without moving them to hired. We can't pay invoices online.

### "Great Hiring Solution for Smaller Companies"

December 3, 2019

5.0

It makes new hires extremely easy, from posting a job opening to having them sign the onboarding paperwork. Seamless.

Pros

ApplicantStack is a great software solution for hiring a new employee, and it allows for an almost "all-in-one" experience. You can post open positions and create an online job application form that meets your needs. You can track whoever is applying, and you have the ability to schedule interviews all within ApplicantStack. Once you've made the hire, you can also manage the onboarding process on ApplicantStack itself. All the paperwork can be electronically signed on the software as well, so it really makes everything easy to manage in one spot.

Cons

Honestly can't think of anything negative to say. This has been the ideal software solution, and it's been extremely easy to use. Applicants have also said only good things.

### "ApplicantStack makes our application process more efficient than what it was in the past."

April 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

User friendly and very intuitive. I find ApplicantStack to be extremely easy to maneauver through. It's very self-explanatory. And I also appreciate how it has the ability to save info from past application postings.

Cons

I utilize the system only when we are filling a position within my department. We have a low turnover rate, so I only use ApplicantStack once a year (appx). Each time, I have to have my password reset because of my infrequent use. I know password utilization is required for security purposes, but this is something that I always have to work through when signing on.

April 19, 2018

Many: easy to use, easy to post jobs and review applicants.

Pros

I like that you can look at previous applicants, if they have applied for other positions before. Very easy to post a job.

### "Good platform, plenty of customization available with some time and effort to put into it"

April 5, 2021

4.0

Overall my experience with the platform has been great. Once we spent the time customizing it the way we wanted it's been very easy to use and meets all of our applicant management needs.

Pros

The best thing about Applicant Stack is that multiple levels of management and HR can all interact with applicants for multiple positions throughout the process and see what the others are doing. The fact that the statuses, stages, emails, surveys etc. are so customizable makes the system very flexible.

Cons

While there are numerous customization options available they are not always easy to make. The location of all the different pieces and parts that go into the application processing flow are not as intuitive as they could be.

December 18, 2019

5.0

Applicant Stack made the hiring process much easier: keep up with applicants, checking for duplicates, weeding out the unqualified applicants. It saves a lot of time.

Pros

I love how the software show if an applicant has applied for jobs previously. I also like the grading of questions to automatically disqualify applicants.

Cons

Can't think of anything. An app would be nice.

Reason for choosing ApplicantStack

Organization, features and ease of use for the price.
