### "Good high level feature, hard to use some features "

December 10, 2019

4.0

Overall quite satisfied. Some of the features need to be a bit more user friendly. Perhaps the GUI to be updated to make it more intuitive. Thank you.

Pros

It was easy to see how many new applicants are there on daily basis. Also, the KO feature was very useful.

Cons

It was hard to go from one candidate to other. Also hard to use some of the features, like selecting a candidate for review and sending e-mail to appropriate people to review.

Thank you for writing a review about ApplicantStack. Please let us know what we can do to earn a 5-star rating across all categories. Please contact support so we can get more information from you about the issue you are experiencing. You should see a "Next" and "Previous" link when reviewing candidates. I found this extremely useful when reviewing hundreds of candidates when I was a recruiter! Regarding emails - I am not sure how you have it set up but it can be set to notify the internal team automatically. that is the beauty of an automated system like ApplicantStack !

### "ApplicantStack"

October 16, 2018

4.0

It has been very pleasant, very user friendly.

Pros

I like the ability to keep organized all our resumes from many applicants and being able to sort them and send communications out in a timely manner.

Cons

I wish there was an easier way to print out the information new hires fill out...if I could have the full W4 form, the full direct deposit form are two examples.

### "The system is simple and easy use."

April 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

Simplicity of the system and the ability to custiomize the system without having to contact some one every time.

Cons

There is nothing that I don't really like about the system except for the formating of the listing.

April 20, 2018

Hi Adrian! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. Please contact support so we can assist you with any formatting issues. We recommend you copy the job listing into ApplicantStack as text and add the formatting back in using our built in formatting tools. This will eliminate some extra formatting that some programs (such as Word) add that might not look as good on different job boards.

### "User view of Applicant Stack"

December 13, 2019

4.0

Great tool for capturing the holistic overview of our applicants.

Pros

Information is well organized. User inputs are accepted and acted upon quickly. Easy to sort on applicant classifications.

Cons

Some parts of the UI are not user friendly. As an example, it would probably be better to have a status button that drops down to a status classification vs. a button the defaults to 'Move to the Next Level" with a small drop down arrow where this can be changed. Invariably I will select the larger button while 'aiming' for the small drop down and the status that results is not what I intended. Requires effort to correct. Also would be helpful to maintain context so the back button could be used to navigate.

### "easy"

April 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

straightforward, easy to use and convenient . I find qualified candidates on here all day long. Makes recruiting so much better!

Cons

Sometimes the system can be a little slow, and it also logs you out after like 20 mins of inactivity. With me going back and forth between screens this can be a little inconvenient at times. Maybe change the duration of the inactivity?

December 10, 2019

5.0

Easily track applicants thru out the hiring process. Makes for a smooth transition from time of applying to hired.

Pros

After trying several different programs I selected Applicant Stack for ease of use, features, price and the results I get.

Cons

Have t found anything yet that I don’t like.

### "ApplicantStack"

December 10, 2020

4.0

Overall, my experience with ApplicantStack is positive.

Pros

The thing I like most about this software is the History tab where I can see what actions and changes multiple users have made to a job.

Cons

The thing I like least about this software is the default setting for searching jobs. It takes selecting from several different drop downs to get where I want to go.

October 19, 2018

5.0

Try to fill sales positions. ApplicantStack brings me candidates in one simple folder.

Pros

Central location of all candidates. This makes it easy to review those responding.

Cons

Need a separate folder to keep candidates I want to follow up with. I would like to move them out of the long list.

Hi! 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. I am not sure I understand the issue you are describing. The candidates are all in jobs and stages within those jobs. You can add another stage to your process, if that would work for you.

February 22, 2018

4.0

Pros

ApplicantStack helps us recruiting the candidates with a well defined approach. It helps managing the candidate resumes and helps filter these as per our needs. Assessment can be easily assigned to the users.

Cons

Reporting can be exported in the CSV format from the ApplicantStack dashboard. Candidate information is managed in an organized way.

### "seems fine. Never confident I am leaving notes when I think I am. Transitions not smooth "

May 15, 2018

4.0

this was answered already

Pros

ability to see my applicants. this is silly that there is a min number of characters. blah blah blah

Cons

Not smooth transitions between screens/tabs. Don't know that I am actually leaving notes I am not writing gibberish to meet the character limit.

### "New to ApplicantStack"

April 15, 2021

2.0

Pros

I appreciate that the customer service is always fast and responsive to help new users. I received little training on how to use this tool and I've needed to seek out help from them many times.

Cons

The user experience navigating the functions of ApplicantStack are not intuitive. You have to know exactly what buttons to push and when something doesn't work it's not simple to understand why. They need to add some pop up tutorial that will help the user understand why something doesn't work.

### "Wonderful funneling system for job applicants form various sites"

March 18, 2016

5.0

Pros

Product completely streamlines "in-coming" form virtually any job-site we're subscribing to. We can check all applications on just one site: Applicant Stack. Using it for several years (3+) now and support is very responsive in helping customize as and when needed: That's the best part, rather than working with a product where you are constrained to a one-size-fits-all environment.

Cons

The interface could be a little easier on the eyes but that is a very minor trade-off when juxtaposed with all the time AND resources saved with the streamlined and functional structure.

### "Applicant Stack Review"

December 20, 2019

5.0

Overall, Applicant Stack has kept everything organized and helps us reach more candidates with each ad we place because it hits multiple job boards rather than just going with one newspaper ad in one paper.

Pros

I enjoy using Applicant Stack because it keeps all the candidates organized, in one place, and I can communicate with them. I like seeing the history for each candidate as well.

Cons

I think Applicant Stack can do a lot more for me than I am currently using but I just started using it so I am getting used to all the features.

### "Easier and efficient; allows for immediate communication with applicants. "

April 26, 2018

5.0

It provides for easy communication with applicants. It is user-friendly and provides accessibility to all applicant documents. It allows me to be efficient in addressing the hiring needs of academic programs.

Pros

Its one-stop shopping features. Easy accessibility to all of an applicant's information and the ability to inform them of hiring decisions at all phases of the process. The sample responses are also helpful.

Cons

Now that I understand and know how to fully utilize all of the features, I cannot think of a negative or "least" problem.

March 18, 2016

5.0

Pros

All of my CAREGiver applications are readily available for review/update via internet access so I can work anywhere. The product is easy to use and easy to train new users on. I am very satisfied with the support I receive from Applicant Stack, whether it is by phone or email, very friendly, respond quickly.

Cons

If you change any information on the phone screen template the system updates all of the previous applications with this information. I would also like to be able to modify a report as I had been able to do this when we first started using this product.

Lets us collaborate on hiring easily and keeps the hiring process centralized and organized.

Pros

I like the questions I can put in specific for each job. I also like having a workflow I can track the applicants through and I like the quick set stage function to manage the workflow.

### "Increased professionalism while saving a lot of time!!"

January 12, 2011

5.0

We evaluated several Applicant Tracking Systems and unanimously voted on Applicant Stack. The ease of setup combined with the options to personalize the work flow and user experience were key factors behind our decision. We highly recommend you do the free trial, which may well lead you to a quick purchase!

Pros

\* Ease of setup \* Customization of work-flow \* Triggered/automatic emails for each stage in process (saves time and ensures consistent communication) \* HR team and owners can easily have unique access to view applicant information, leave private notes, etc. \* Applicants are carefully led through a customizable and pre-defined work flow from "new" applicant to "hired" or "no job offered"...allows quick glance to see what needs to happen next with each applicant. \* All communication between applicant and company is kept in central user information section. \* Immediately recognizes and warns company of duplicate applications

Cons

In the ideal world would like option to have different work flows and different triggered emails depending on which opening is applied for.
