### "FD Review"

December 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

The ability to customize the phases of the hiring process.

Cons

Limited on the number of users/licenses. In most cases just having someone be able to view the information would be helpful to assist the hiring manager. But budget limitations impact the number of users that have access and login.

### "For the part incredibly well thought out and functional"

March 18, 2016

4.5

Pros

It provides many of the features that make it easy to track a candidate through stages.

Cons

Like least the fact that it does not automatically import reference information as listed in the application into Professional and Personal Reference check forms. Would be fantastic if we were able to do that. This is a very big deal as reference checks take a considerable amount of time, so this would be a very welcome addition. Like least the fact that we are unable to forward an applicants file directly to another Home Instead office, example: we sometimes received applications and assessments from someone out of our area or territory and currently we are unable to do anything but fax or email the info. Many of us require online applications so this puts both the candidate and the office that needs the information at a disadvantage. Like least the fact that you cannot email and add something from the library (form) to a group of references via the software as you can a candidate. Would love it if it were easier to edit an existing job template so that we wouldn't be putting the burden on ApplicantStack staff

### "Go for it if you are adept at software apps and setting things up on your own. "

July 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

Was easy to get through but we had some issues when handing off to other staff to use. Needed more changes that were not easy to do for someone who is not hands on with software like this.

Cons

Can't really give any cons about this one. When we had it switched over to other staff they had some issues getting used to it at first but the support offered was great at walking through and assisting in making changes.

### "When recent changes were made to the format it actually made it more difficult to navigate."

May 28, 2018

3.0

It is simply a tool to find qualified candidates.

Pros

It does find candidates quickly when their first or last names are typed in. It is easy to log in to the website.

Cons

The format of current website is not as easy to navigate as the previous format. Pull down menus should be in alphabetical order, not random.

### "Great Product"

February 12, 2019

5.0

I find that if they take the time to fill out the application on applicant stacker they are more likely to be interested in the position and will show up for the interviews.

Pros

Able to have the major questions answered before I even call the applicant.

Cons

Would be great if a assessment test was included with a scoring.

5.0

Organized ATS

Pros

The system is very user friendly and perfect for small start-up operations. Additionally, the ApplicantStack staff were very helpful whenever assistance was required.

Cons

While the system was not designed to replace an HRIS, it would be very helpful if there were more report-writing options

### "My experience..."

October 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

Intuitive user interface / layout, ability to add notes.

Cons

I would like to be able to see a Job Approval as it progresses through the approval process. Typically I am the first (of many) approvers. After I submit my approval, I then lose sight of the job. It would be advantageous to be able to view where the job is as it progresses up the approval chain.

### "Straight-forward ATS solution"

April 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

We can post a job to our internal and external job board, as well as to multiple free job posting sites with the click of a few buttons. You can save your postings and use them again when a position re-opens. It's also easy to export candidate information and resumes to a zip file and send them to a manager to review outside the system, which can save money on number of users.

Cons

It can be a little clunky and confusing when you get to the point where you're publishing your job. It takes multiple steps to actually publish/post.
