### "Certain aspects are really great. It is easy to use to manage so many applications. "

June 5, 2018

4.0

It saves time.

Pros

I like the automated emails. It saves time. I also like that I can edit them and add new ones when I need to.

Cons

Applicant source tracking is difficult with the current system. I would like to be able to look at specifics when I run a report. For example: If i run a report to see how many applicants came from job fairs, I would like to be able to look at those applications specifically, not just get a number.

### "Home Instead"

December 18, 2019

5.0

So far for over 1.5 years I have used the system to recruit CHHAs for home health. It has provided me with over 50 workers and employees so far. Great system!

Pros

User friendly. Reminders are nice. Emailing candidates are great!!

Cons

Wish that the system had more automatic options

### "The system meets our needs. It was easy to implement and is affordable."

May 24, 2018

3.0

Pros

The user interface is intuitive. I didn't receive training, but figured out the features and functionalities quickly. Posting positions, reviewing applicants, and emailing candidates are very easy.

Cons

Formatting position postings is clunky and never quite looks consistent. I spend a lot more time than I would like to formatting and aligning text. We should have a style guide or template that allows us to paste in text quickly and move on.

### "Simple from the beginning!"

December 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

From the beginning this product was simple! From my first phone call inquiring about the product to the final implementation steps, the whole process was simple. Furthermore the use of the system is equally easy. We have found that it only takes a few minutes to train a new person on the use of the system.

Cons

We have not had any issues with the functionality or usability of the system.

### "Manage applicants with ease"

December 1, 2020

5.0

Applicant stack makes it simple to communicate without even talking. Our HR knows what's going on every step of the way, and so does the management team with a simple click of the button

Pros

Applicant Stack makes it easy for my team and I to collectively see what's going on with an applicant at any given time, even if I'm not the one actively using it.

Cons

There are certain circumstances that require me to have multiple Applicant Stack pages open which is a little annoying but other than that no issues that I've come across.

### "Applicant Stack has been a great source of applicants for us."

May 25, 2018

4.0

With Applicant Stack, we typically have new applications daily, it helps us keep track of our hiring process, and we are able to place notes in each candidate profile to let us know if there is anything we should be aware of or why they were moved to the particular stage that they are in.

Pros

I like the ease of moving applicants through the process. The ability to generate appropriate emails to the candidates at each stage of the onboarding process is a huge help as well.

Cons

Honestly, I have no major issues with the software. Everything has been great, overall. There is nothing that I see as a drawback with the software.

May 31, 2018

April 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy to use and convienent for the employees to apply. Great abilty to add to our web site and social media.

Cons

Some of the reports are difficult to generate and hard to filter for the results needed. Perhaps an easier filter method.

### "ApplicantStack does a great job tracking all of our employment applications. It is very easy to use"

April 19, 2018

4.0

Jobs post in multiple locations in places where people are actually looking for jobs. This gives all of our postings great exposure and helps us be efficient in our hiring. Like many professionals, I have a lot of job responsibilities and ApplicantStack helps us to get our job openings out to the right candidates.

Pros

The search capabilities are user friendly. I am able to quickly sort through applicants using multiple criteria.

Cons

There isn't really much that i dislike about using ApplicantStack. I know there is much more functionality that we could be using, but have not needed to.

### "I think it is easy to use. I've never needed cust. support so I can't really rate that ."

May 14, 2018

3.0

Pros

easy to navigate. Easy to access the resumes if there is one attached. It's convenient to be able to put notes In for each person so you can check back when you need to. It Helps when interviewing several candidates.

Cons

My access is limited, so I can not go straight into the candidates for my departments. I have to go in through emails of new candidates sent from Human Recourses. I would like to be able to have access to go directly into my candidates. Maybe I just need a bit more training on the software.

### "ApplicantStack works well for the size of recruitment we are doing. "

May 10, 2018

3.0

Great storage tool for all our candidates. Easy to use

Pros

User-friendly for administrators, low cost, customer support is responsive and helpful. Easy to create candidate profiles if they have applied outside of the system.

Cons

Would like to have more control over what hiring managers can see/do. More reporting options or ability to create own reports.

We have used a number of different staffing tools in the past but ApplicantStack is far superior. It is very user friendly and does everything you will need to meet your staffing requirements.

Pros

### "New Features"

February 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

I have been using ApplicantStack for several years now. I was less than excited at the update due to some items such as "Do Not Pursue" not being so easy to get to as thet previously were. I love the new update where the "Do Not Pursue" and Initial Review drop down are at the top by the applicants name. Very functional.

Cons

I would like to see a drop down that includes "Top Prospect" and "Potential" and "Do Not Pursue" at the top. It would be much more user friendly than the one on the side. Especially when reviewing many applications.

### "Very easy to use and efficient in finding quality personnel"

May 10, 2018

5.0

It gives our applicants options on how to apply to work for us other than coming in and filling out an application. It is easy to link to our website for more ease of applying

Pros

You are able to group quality applicants away from weaker applicants through the grading system. ease of use. straight forward. notifications with a link to the applicants profile come through email when there is a new applicant so you don't have to weed through others to find the new one.

Cons

I wish it was easier to mark applicants as quality or not quality right from the start. Applications that do not meet the minimum qualifications should not be able to come through the system (i.e. no high school diploma, nonvalid ID, etc)

### "Applicant Stack Review"

December 10, 2019

4.0

Pros

It is nice how we are able to communicate with our applicants as they go the the hiring stages.

Cons

I don't like that the applicants aren't sent directly to our office software. We have to manually enter each applicant as they come in. There should be a way to sync up our software with applicant stack so they are automatically entered into our system.

December 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

It's a very efficient platform for technical as well as non-technical users. It's very easy to see submitted applications and get to the information easily. We've used the software for years and don't find ourselves longing for other features.

Cons

We would love to be able to disguise the URL using DNS masking to contain our jobs page within our own branding model. An iOS app would be a helpful addition as well.

ApplicantStack is a great program to serve as an ATS to track and organize applicants as well as the offer letter process.

### "Multi-functional"

November 30, 2018

4.0

Overall it's functional and you can do much with it although it's not a total "one stop shop"

Pros

I like that you can contact the applicant directly through the software and that you can move an applicant back and forth from different categories with relative ease. I also like that it saves the history of what was sent/done with each applicant.

Cons

I don't like that when applicants are imported from certain sites, the information is not conveyed correctly and an address or city will show with ???? instead of valid information.
