### "Ease of Use"

October 12, 2018

I like being able to track the applicants from the very first inquiry right through to being a new hire!

Pros

Applicant Stack is easy to use yet isn't limiting in what you can do.

Cons

Some of the reports are confusing, and it's difficult to find what you need sometimes in reports.

### "Easy, inexpensive & works!"

October 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

The user interface is easy to use. I get a great value. This site makes my small company look professional and therefore I can compete with the big corporations.

Cons

I wish I could add sites such as Craigslist and others not listed.

Hi Leticia! Thank you so much for the awesome review about ApplicantStack. For Craigslist, you can use the manual posting links. You can use the manual postings links for any job board to gather your candidates within ApplicantStack and process them through your workflow.

### "Completely Changed How We Hire"

October 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

The built in job boards that we could link to our account and post elsewhere across the internet. Also, the workflows are great, the addition of questions and knocking out candidates is also nice.

Cons

Auto fill forms from other websites sometimes don't work quite right.

### "Time Saver"

March 19, 2016

4.5

Pros

We have been using applicant stack for years. This has been a helpful tool in my hiring. We have on average 20 new applications a week and by using applicant stack I am able to at a quick glance see where each applicant is in our hiring process. This has saved me time and embarrassment

Cons

I like how the software keeps a running long of things I have entered with each candidate but I wish that the look of the history was different.

### "A Great resource for managing a large number of applicants"

May 11, 2017

4.0

Pros

Setting aside the ability to manage candidates in an efficient manner, I would say I like the support provided by ApplicantStack. I am very particular about ensuring I meet the needs of our team. Customer representative and her team have provided nothing less than excellent support in problem resolution, consideration of new features and overall functionality.

Cons

I would have to say the reporting functionality could be significantly improved. The ability to generate reports that meet the needs of our company is not as intuitive as it could be.

October 12, 2018

Pros

Very easy to use, I create a number of job posting each month, the templates are extremely helpful.

Cons

I find the presentation rather bland, although it doesn't affect the functionality at all. A brighter less sterile look would be nice.

### "Great recruiting tool-organizer, planner, time management"

March 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

Software lets us to easily see the applicants for the role we are recuriting for. It's relatively easy to see their cover letters and resumes, and all interactions between candidates and recruiters are logged so provides history, etc

Cons

Dont like the fact of lack of responsiveness and it doesn't always turn word docs or PDFs into the the clearest images.

Overall, we were very pleased with their software. Their customer service team was always responsive.

We have had the most success using Applicant Stack for hiring new employees than any other method we've tried. Its been great.

Pros

Its been very easy to learn and use. When we've decided to change the wording on the application, Applicant Stack was responsive and very helpful

### "Applicant Stack"

December 10, 2019

5.0

Pros

It is very easy to use and navigate. Love how I am able to email the prospect applicants right from the site and get a response there as well. Also the history feature where I can look back to where I left off is great if I am waiting for an applicant to get back to me.

Cons

The least thing I liked about the software is that it does not connect to the software we use after we have hired the caregiver. It would be great if it auto populated the information into our software to have rather than entering all the information .

### "Generally a good experience"

May 8, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like the dashboard system. I like the variety of information that it holds. I also enjoy that the applicant 'keeps' former applicants and I can review them later.

Cons

I need to click through so many things it is easy for a potential applicant to get 'lost' in one of the many 'review' phases. We used to be able to add notes to more sections, that feature is gone now. I would really appreciate the ability to add notes. I would also love to be able to view the notes that other people have written.

### "Basic"

December 20, 2019

4.0

Fair

Pros

I think it collects the data from prospective employees well.

Cons

However, it seems that the workflows are disjointed and many features could be added to filter out candidates that are either under-experienced, geographically undesirable or way out of the salary range for the position.

May 10, 2018

This allows me to screen candidates in an efficient manner.

Pros

The simplicity. When I was initially trained on the software, I found that it was an easy learning process.

### "I think for the most part, applicantstack is effective in collecting and organizing our applicants"

May 25, 2018

5.0

I use one application to organize all of our applicants in one easy to use forum.

Pros

I like that I can change the status of an applicant and that it is an easy to use software. I like that I can easily log on and see who applied in the last twenty four hours.

Cons

I think the only thing I consider a nuisance is the fact that I cannot directly choose the stage of an application on the "Change stage" portion of the file.

### "Effective for managing open positions and applicants. Good noting system and communication."

May 9, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like the "stages" and the communication system within the site. The ability to classify the applicant and the organization of the applicants is helpful.

Cons

I would like to see the navigation a little more friendly. I find myself clicking the wrong icon sometimes thinking i'm in "position" screen and hoping to see the candidates and end up in the job listing screen. Yes I should have learned by now but this lends me to think that since I haven't there's a intuitiveness missing to the site.

April 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like the view filters and being able to assign tasks with email reminders as often as needed is really helpful. I also like being able to view history so I don't have to keep track myself of what interactions occurred with the applicant.

Cons

Not being able to rate and prioritize candidates within the program, means I have to use another document to do so.
