The program worked very well for my needs.

Hi Jenna! Thank you for writing a review about ApplicantStack. Please contact support so we can get more information from you about the issue you are experiencing. All the applicant and employee onboard paperwork should be in one record. I am not sure I understand the issue you are describing.

Cheap enough for small budget organizations.

### "I find it frustrating to use. Navigation seems very complicated"

May 8, 2018

3.0

I hired someone.

Pros

It keeps candidates out of my personal email stream. It is better than a scratch pad of paper. Barely.

Cons

Navigating in the tool is insanely backward. I expect left to right top to bottom. This navigation was put together with no thought to workflow or how people use software.

Hi Tayloe, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. I will forward your feedback to our development team. It would be extremely helpful to understand exactly what you are looking for and why you think the process is backwards. A lot of thought was put into designing the process as most of us at ApplicantStack are former HR executives. Please contact support so we can better understand what you would like to see.

I really like having everything about an applicant in one location and not having to go three different places to locate important info.

### "Very useful tool to prescreen job applicants."

June 13, 2018

4.0

Finding qualified job applicants.

Pros

It is easy for applicants to fill out and submit their applications. When they complete the application, they get a receipt and we get a notification.

Cons

Until you get use to the layout, navigating can be cumbersome. Once you get familar it is pretty easy to use.

The mass email function , you can delay a message to be sent to an employee, the ability to export a job and the information and the history of of the applicant.

### "Makes reviewing resumes easy"

October 12, 2018

5.0

As a hiring manager, I asked for more direct access to the resumes for the applicants. I knew what I was looking for, but was worried that the process would be cumbersome for me. With HR giving their initial review and then passing those who passed muster over, ApplicantStack made it the interview process easier for me, as I could add notes to applicant records.

Pros

Having a list of applicants and their application dates sortable, as well as allowing notes kept with the profile

Cons

Navigation was clunky -- one incorrect click would lead me down rabbit holes .

October 12, 2018

5.0

FANTASTIC and would recommend to other companies if given the chance!

Pros

I enjoy the accessibility your site provides when reviewing applications. The ease of the format makes is very navigable. I can quickly look at anything I need to and eliminate or pursue anyone with the click of a mouse. Efficiently change their status or even contact them directly through your site! Very well structured!

Cons

I honestly do not have any issues with this site.

It is not the prettiest looking software but that's not that big of a deal for us

February 4, 2021

4.0

I highly recommend it to any organisations interested in managing their applicants efficiently.

Pros

Absolutely love the database offered for applicants and employees - ease of use systems with application responses and overall interface. Ten out of ten.

Cons

Maybe some bugs that I have noticed when processing applications that arrived late. In some cases I have noticed glitches, but nothing too significant.

4.5

I had come into an organization that had no ATS in place, and was as organized as they could be without one (Using Outlook email folders/stacks of paper resumes). Upon referral from a former colleague, I gave ApplicantStack a test run and was quite impressed with the ease of use and functionality. I was literally able to implement ApplicantStack within a matter of days, as opposed to some of the "big box" ATS systems that might take weeks/months. Since implementing ApplicantStack, our candidates now have an easy place to apply directly to our openings! We also took advantage of allowing ApplicantStack to directly integrate our website with the career site they created; I was amazed as to how they were able to get it to look and feel exactly like our own corporate site. Our candidate traffic has increased dramatically, and our efficiency of resume review has also gone up. One of the best parts for our hiring managers is the ease of the candidate review phase...most of our managers are on the road a lot, and with one quick email they can easily access the candidate's profile and attachments without taxing their email inbox. Finally, the customer support from the ApplicantStack staff has been unmatched! I have also referred ApplicantStack to another colleague in the staffing industry.

### "Excellent tool; few bugs"

December 10, 2019

5.0

I use it all day every day, it's intuitive and easy to use, and it has helped with the hiring pipeline.

Pros

It's easy to use, easy to create pipelines, exceptional for keeping track of hiring orders and hiring needs as well as keeping info on each candidate.

Cons

the texting; fields for texting are too small to see what you've written. Also you don't always get notified right away when someone texts you back. It's difficult to paste in the text box field. I have to "paste and match style" then erase a part of the pasted content and re-type it for it to recognize the content as being there. It's a bit odd.
