### "ApplicantStack"

October 12, 2018

3.0

My company needed an applicant tracking system (ATS), and my PEO uses ApplicantStack, so it was the first and only solution I could use with them. I ultimately found more success using BambooHR. I also evaluated other solutions in Breezy, BambooHR, Simplicant, and Workable, but I ended up with BambooHR because they had Onboarding and HRIS built-in for a very affordable price.

Pros

ApplicantStack tracks your hiring candidates in one location.

Cons

ApplicantStack doesn't parse Indeed data well into the ApplicantStack fields. When using ApplicantStack through a PEO, hiring managers do not have the ability to correct the data in the applicant's fields. The software runs on web servers that seem very slow to respond. And the web interface is not intuitive to use. Also, our PEO "archives" all the candidate data every month, so I freeked out every month when I couldn't find my candidate data. Luckily, it was still there, it was just "buried" under extra menu clicks.

Great exposure.

The cost associated with the online application software and what it delivers to assist our organization.

### "Simple training and learning. Great applicant review."

June 1, 2018

4.0

Quick postings out into the public and quick response.

Pros

Postings to multiple job boards make use convenient. Easy to navigate website and review old postings. Access to applications and filtering options makes it easy as well.

Cons

Mobile website could be better configured. Hard to navigate and find certain areas at times. Could use more areas of labor in the drop down menu when creating a job posting. Don't always get great applicant flow.

Pros

Keeps all the application organized and online. System is easy to use and easy to navigate with filters etc.

Overall experience is that ApplicantStack is an excellent tool that is part of the toolbox that allows us to quickly capture and identify quality candidates for our recruitment initiatives.

Pros

Streamlines our candidate database for recruitment initiatives

Cons

Functionality is great. Integration with tools like Wonderlic would be incredible.

### "Overall great system for application tracking"

June 4, 2018

5.0

Ease of applicant tracking

Pros

We like knowing that all of our applicants for multiple jobs can all be found in one system and the tracking of each applicant is so simple.

Cons

Ease of use- finding where to change things can be difficult. Navigating to find what you are looking for is not as simple as it could be and we don't love that we have to use the same exact process for every job we are hiring for rather than ability to change it based on job.

### "Simple to use, keeps things in order."

October 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that it keeps everything very organized as far as process goes. When hiring multiple people or sorting through multiple applicants you are able to keep things moving in a very orderly fashion.

Cons

There isn't really much that I don't like about it. For our specific needs it fits them very well. I'm not certain how it would work on a very large scale or a smaller one, but it is good for us as a mid-size business.

### "A good first look at an individual's computer literacy."

April 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

Consistency -- each applicant completes the exact same forms and is required to submit the same type of information.

Cons

Cumbersome - the steps to review an applicant's information are cumbersome. Judging from some applicant's responses the process for them is not user friendly.

### "Applicant Stack Rocks!"

March 22, 2016

5.0

Pros

Well organized, intuitive, easy to use. We enjoy being able to sort applicants by status. We like the easy search field to quickly find an applicant rather it be past (deactivated) or present.

Cons

We do not have a lot but if you are listening: We would like to see the ability to run reports with more detail options. For instance, a report by deactivation reason with a list of the applicants under that reason, by a specific date range. When we have a support question, it can be tricky maneuvering your way to where we send an email requesting help. The system strongly promotes going through the various Q&A’s / blogs to find an answer.

### "Applicant Stack is an excellent recruiting tool."

March 29, 2016

Applicant Stack is an excellent tool for the full service talent development cycle. The software tracks all applicants, sends notification letters to applicants, and allows for edits to job postings. The software also posts the positions with the various job search engines.

Pros

The system is very easy to use. It allows you to customize the applicant process to fit your needs. It maintains applicants electronically and alerts you when an applicant has applied before and for which position. It is an extremely affordable software.

Cons

I have not found any cons with the system to this point.
