### "Applicant stack is easy to use"

May 8, 2018

3.0

Pros

It works well. I like using the managers notes so I can remember what I read. I like the layout. I like the column that allows me to recall that I want to interview a person.

Cons

I'm not notified when people apply. Also too many clicks from one applicant to another. Things seem to not always be in chronological order

### "Review"

October 18, 2018

5.0

I really like it for our HR purposes! It is a great software.

Pros

I like how everything is all in one place! I work with many coworkers on this site and it is very accessible to use.

Cons

The only con is having it linked with my email. I often get confused on whether I sent an email to a candidate since the email is always linked.

### "My experience has been pleasant. "

April 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

The fact that I can email applicants if additional information is needed and eliminate those who doesn't meet the requirements.

Cons

I wish there was a way the applicants couldn't move forward with the application without throughly completing the application.

### "Applicant stack review"

October 18, 2018

2.0

Pros

the ease for the person submitting an application

Cons

Even though I have a log in, and I have permissions, I could never get in to see the applications and never received the emails. Even after our HR working with customer service, it still never worked. Funny how I get to review but never see the applicants.

### "A Little Confusing"

October 10, 2018

4.0

My experience with ApplicantStack has been fine. It's good for our needs.

Pros

It's great to be able to keep track of candidates all in one place. I like that the software shows me when a person is a duplicate.

Cons

Setting the status is a little confusing. There seems to be multiple ways to do things so I'm never really sure if I'm doing it right.

### "Applicant Stack to help a one person HR team"

October 19, 2018

5.0

It is definitely worth the cost of doing business with ApplicantStack.

Pros

The management of all of our applicants is so very helpful. In addition to new hires, we also use it for people to apply to join our international humanitarian service teams. Both serve us well.

Cons

I am technically challenged and have to work at times to find certain features. If I were to use it on a weekly basis for new hires, I'm sure that I would be able to remember how to find features more readily.

### "Receiving applications has never been so easy."

May 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

Now that I know once I hire an applicant, if I set the stage to conditional offer, all the information from Applicant Stack goes directly into our scheduling software, I spend less time entering data and more time interviewing.

Cons

I could use a few more options when not pursuing a candidate. I created a separate spreadsheet in addition to Applicant Stack so I can phrase the exact reason why I chose not to pursue the candidate.

### "Applicant stack is used for our hiring process which is highly effective for online applications"

April 26, 2018

5.0

Ease of multiple candidates that I can access any time and filter through to choose the best candidates.

Pros

Online access is the best. Anyone can access at any time. The ease of the program is step by step that anyone can master and understand effectively.

Cons

Cons would be none, other than the non computer savy person being able to access this it would be the only difficult issue.

### "I am not a fan of multiple records per candidate for multiple positions. Would like it all together"

April 19, 2018

3.0

Quick candidate lookup

Pros

Decent candidate search capabilities. Ease of posting jobs externally. Quick learning curve if you have used other ATS,

Cons

Like to see more robust levels of accessibility(admin, hiring manager, team member, interviewer). Also hard to make external postings uniform in look and feel.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. I will forward your feedback to our development team. Thank you for the suggestions! To make the external job postings look as uniform as possible, we suggest using the built in formatting tools within ApplicantStack rather than cutting and pasting from a Word document. This will remove all extra formatting and have a cleaner look.

### "ApplicantStack is a pretty user-friendly and helpful recruiting tool"

April 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

All your applicants are in a single place and you can communicate to them easily with a history of that communication .

Cons

I wish the Work Flow and Job Flow functions were simpler. Adding stages and setting up some of the backend flows is awfully confusing and I never quite seem to get it to do all that I would like for it to do.

### "Confidential review BL"

December 22, 2019

2.0

It's OK for basic use, but needs modernization and efficiency updates.

Pros

Access to resumes, cover letters, limited reporting options

Cons

Inability to gather and transfer documentation out of a job into a file folder when jobs are closed out. Each document needs to be downloaded and saved separately on my computer and then selected to refile/save elsewhere. Inability to gather an applicants documents in one batch to save for presentation to our clients. Not easily linked to other software for merging documents of several types into one continuous pdf. Unable to keep internal notes on a client's activities. Not notified if system goes down or data is not transferred due to system problems, must discover these after the fact and wait for correction.

Generally, easy to use, and seems to work well as far as posting to other sites, such as LinkedIn.

June 5, 2018

Pros

Great way to manage inquiries. Love the stages. I also always use this to send emails instead of sending through my outlook. Keeps a great history of each candidate.

Cons

Can't manage your talent pool leads. There needs to be a better way of managing them. Currently I'm exporting the list, copy/paste the email column into outlook. But there is not history in AppStack with that.
