### "CAREGivers"

October 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

We can have the history of the emails where we communicate with the Applicants.

Cons

Probably the least thing I like has nothing to the software, but it has to do with the jobs getting lost on the job boards and having to relaunch the jobs.

### "It's been positive. System can be confusing when updating settings, but using it is good."

May 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

The tracking of applicants is a very nice feature, as well as the ability to email applicants throughout the process and when updating stages.

Cons

It can be very confusing to update settings on Applicant Stack. This is especially true when trying to make changes to signatures on emails.

### "Overall, I enjoy using Applicant Stack"

May 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like how easily it communicates with ClearCare and sends the information over after clicking "Conditional Job Offer". I also like the ease of creating one posting that automatically posts to numerous websites.

Cons

I would like if it updated more than every 30 days to put our listings to the top of the search sites.

### "Application & Questionnaire"

June 3, 2010

4.0

Actually have a scoring/rating icon in the box next to the questionnaire where you have the delete, edit, clone, etc. icons so it is just a click of that icon and go straight to the scoring of that questionnaire.

Pros

The application is perfect and they set it up exactly the way it was designed. On the questionnaire you are able to score applicants according to qualifications and certain questions you mark for scoring.

Cons

Application - cannot view all # of applications by scrolling through pages where they are listed. Example - out of 462 applications we received, it will only let me view 221 of those according to stage. Still haven't figured out how to view all regardless of the stage. Questionnaire - The scoring/rating section is not easily obtainable, still have to search on how to rate my questions and when you make any changes to a questionnaire they will not take because they are linked to previous applications. So at that time you have to recreate new questionnaire with changes and attach to job and make sure you delete the other or unattach the other questionnaire. Kind of a pain when you are in a hurry.

The Cons listed where mostly misunderstandings of how the system works, which we cleared up in a support call.

Pros

Very easy to use and very easy for candidates to apply to a job posting. Easy to respond to candidates.

### "I am impressed so far with Applicantstack"

May 31, 2018

4.0

Improved applicant tracking and staff recruiting

Pros

The ability to post jobs over various platforms and sort applicants. Applicants can upload resumes on other platforms and we can download them via ApplicantStack

Cons

I would like to se reports showing the percentage ratio of clicks to applicants on a given post. Still pleased overall though.

### "Great Value for the money"

October 12, 2018

5.0

Able to reach a broader group of applicants for less money.

Pros

I like the flexibility it gives. I don't have to be committed to a long term contract...I only use it when I need it and that saves our company money.

Cons

The software is a little cumbersome. I sometimes have to hunt and peck to find what I am really looking for.

January 21, 2020

5.0

Pros

We used ApplicantStack for 4 years and whenever we had an issue or request it was handled very quickly. The dashboard was great and easy to use. It was easy to customize to our needs.

Cons

The resources were great but it took us awhile to set up the library's and the system when we first started.

December 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

ApplicantStack is easy to use. You great a wide variety of functions in one software. I particularly enjoy the on-boarding process.

Cons

Some applicants have trouble completing an application once they have submitted one, even if it has been quite a while.

### "Affordable and functional ATS"

October 23, 2018

5.0

We have been using this for about 4 years. ApplicantStack integrates with our website, shares jobs on specified external job boards, simple work flow, and allows for a lot of customization and flexibility in the application process. It serves our needs well, I'm sure there are many more features we haven't even touched yet - I use it at a fairly basic level once we had it set up.

Pros

We opted for ApplicantStack because it 'checked the boxes' of our ATS requirements, and was by far the most affordable offering with the must useful features, for our company's needs. I really like that is pushes out job postings to multiple sites such as Indeed, LinkedIn, etc. That saves us quite a bit of time and applicant management.

Cons

The interface feels out dated and a little clunky.

### "Good Applicant Tracking product for a mid size company"

April 15, 2021

4.0

The staff that I dealt with during the preview and roll out period were knowledgeable and helpful. The support team is also very helpful and they are available via email and always respond within a day.

Pros

I like that Applicant Stack integrates with Corvirtus for applicant competency testing and the value for cost is very good.

Cons

I am finding that oftentimes the automated emails being sent via the ATS wind up in the applicant's junk or promotional mailbox vs. their inbox and that has negatively impacted the applicant experience. I also wish that there was a how to / resource document library.

Alternatives considered

[Workable](https://www.capterra.com/p/130175/Workable/)[Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/)

Reason for choosing ApplicantStack

Ultimately it came down to cost. I needed to streamline the recruitment process and Applicant Stack was able to provide a product that improved my efficiency for a fraction of the cost. It is not super user friendly and does not have all the bells and whistles, but it does get the job done.

### "Applicant stack is very easy to use and beneficial for our comapny."

May 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

How user friendly it is and well organized. It is very easy to keep candidates organized by their stages.

Cons

The only way it shows duplicate applicants is if they enter the exact same email again. I wish it would send the "assessment" for the candidate directly after they apply and that it wasn't an additional step that we had to send out.

### "Applicant Stack for UDC"

October 19, 2018

5.0

It is useful and better than going through paper documents and thus it is quite useful.

Pros

That it provided all information in a searchable easy to use tool.

Cons

Some of the information is really to small and although it is comprehensive it is hard to read.

Value for money. Comprehensive and easy to use as configured. Cost is very reasonable. Customer service is responsive.

### "One stop solution for application management"

October 19, 2018

5.0

ApplicantStack is an effortless software that helps to track application, sort vacancies with ease, keeps timely track of candidates and their applications with minimal effort and generates timely reports.

Pros

Now HR teams don't need to worry about application management. ApplicantStack is one stop solution from updating job profiles to shortlisting them. It minimises multiple manual functions of the administrative team

Cons

The biggest drawback is that it creates a unique ID while sending a job vacancy to a candidate because of which the vacancy mail might get ignored.

I am always amazed at how quickly I get a response back from ApplicantStack with any inquiries or issues. Their technical support is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Pros

It is very easy to navigate and customize this system. I can create and run my own reports and easily pull up applicant data.

Cons

Like any system, it does have its limitations, but they are all really minor and I can't even think of anything off-hand.

### "Awesome Software"

December 13, 2019

5.0

We needed an organized system where everything we need was right in front of us no need for digging or extra clicks

Pros

Everything is in front of me I can navigate easily between apps and my mind works quickly so the less time it takes to get through something the better for me as my time is limited when I'm working.

Cons

I got locked out and no one can tell me why. I had to get a new account and lost all my emails luckily I write down their contact info so I can reach back out to them after that issue.
