### "Great Applicant Tracking Software"

December 13, 2019

4.0

Applicant Stack allows us to efficiently move candidates through our recruiting process. It also allows us to efficiently go back through candidates that we felt would be great fit for the organization, that we didn't have an opportunity for the first time around.

Pros

It was very easy to begin using. There are plenty of bells-and whistles that we are not currently using, and this did not slow down the process of getting us up and running. We can immediately start with the basics, and then build at our pace.

Cons

Honestly, the biggest con isn't with the Applicant Stack software. Its with our inability to integrate it with our current HCM platform.

### "Good software for a small company"

October 23, 2018

3.0

Experience was good, but it is extremely difficult to get a customer service rep to respond to calls or emails. This is one area that is heavily lacking.

Pros

I like AS because it is very user friendly and easy to train new employees on.

Cons

Has some limited capabilities compared to other ATS systems. Heavy lack of customer support.

Hi Shannon! Thank you for writing a review about ApplicantStack. I am sorry you feel we lack in customer support. Usually we score extremely high in support based on customer reviews. Are you using our support portal? Typically, our support agents respond within minutes of receiving a ticket during normal business hours. We also have an extensive help center which includes videos. We want to make sure you are happy with every aspect of ApplicantStack. That is of the utmost importance to us.

### "ApplicantStack Review "

December 13, 2019

5.0

ApplicantStack allows much faster processing of the applicants, shows detail process of onboarding, and supports having documentation for HR audits.

Pros

Easy to use, navigate. Love the option of having emails go through the ApplicantStack but also have them forwarded to my regular mail box.

Cons

I would like for it to auto populate same fields, especially from resume, and references for easier processing.

### "Not user friendly "

October 19, 2018

average I would also like to be able to close the account myself NOT email support again time consuming

Pros

Not much at all Even posting a job can be a hassle

Cons

ITs cumbersome to use. When I want to schedule an interview its a 5 step process to get the info on my calendar. I want a streamline process where I click their name, click status and it automatically sends them and email and adds to my calendar. It's not that way

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed with ApplicantStack. It seems if you contact support, we can show you how easy it is to schedule an interview. I also want ot point out that we offer weekly training sessions and have a ton of resources in our help center (including videos). It might be as simple as overlooking a button!

### "Great Resource for Job Applications, Tracking, and Candidate Information"

October 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

Layout is great and automated responses create an efficient recruiting process.

Cons

I would like the ability to have a few more stages for candidates and/or ability to add notes to the candidates profile when setting the stage instead of needing to provide feedback then set the stage it could be one action.

### "ApplicantStack makes onboarding a breeze!"

December 18, 2019

5.0

We are able to onboard team members quickly and efficiently and help them have the best first day ever.

Pros

I like the transparency and the tasks of on/off boarding new team members. It helps to ensure a task hasn’t been forgotten. No more pen and paper check boxes, it’s now all electronic and makes the process simpler.

Cons

I wish there was a way to easier assign tasks. For instance, we have 8 offices with multiple roles. Sometimes my role might not need certain tasks for office 2, but does for office 1.

### "I use applicant stack daily to print off information for the new employee liken drug test etc,"

June 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

It is easy to get the information that I need in a timely manner. I like that you can look up the employee's name to get to their information faster. All in all I like applicant stack.

Cons

I wish we didn't have to edit their information. I wish we could just put the information in the system without doing so many steps. Like the drug test we have to edit the information and then once you are finished with that you have to update the information why can't we just update the information?
