### "Time-Saving, Easy to Use"

May 31, 2018

5.0

Saves us time! Easy to use! Convenient!

Pros

The thing i like the most about this software is that it keeps all of the information for applicants and new hires in one spot. It also collects information that is helpful when being audited.

Cons

I would like to see more training videos on how to customize your experience with ApplicantStack. It would be wonderful to also be able to have more than 5 manager spots at no additional cost.

Hi Samantha! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. If you would like to add more managers, please contact your account manager or our support team. We can assist you with that. Unfortunately, there is a charge for additional licences but considering that we are the most affordable ATS, it is minimal. We continue to add more videos and help center articles.

### "Handy, applicable tools within the program"

April 23, 2018

4.0

Keeps things organized, efficient, and all in one place, making it easy to communicate between departments as we go thru the hiring process.

Pros

I love the changing of stages, and being able to filter that way. I like that we can see the score, but also determine for ourselves the appropriate scoring.

Cons

I don't' know enough about it. I wish I had the time and support with our company to learn more about applicant stack so I could use it more effectively. I wish I could link the scheduling to my outlook calendar and be able to send the applicant a pre-determined note and schedule their interview thru app stack and have it link to my calendar in outlook.

### "Simple yet robust system"

February 22, 2011

4.0

I would highly recommend this product to small or mid-sized companies without blinking. The cost is unbeatable for the service and product you receive. Highly recommend a demo or trying out the site yourself.

Pros

Product was up an running immediately, product support extremely helpful and responsive, easily tracks beginning to end on applicants, system is constantly being upgraded with new features and improvements, customization ability, workflow and history captured perfectly, and searching capability is powerful. Customer service has been able to suggest a solution for everything we've thrown at them.

Cons

While the product was easy to learn to use, it was a little confusing at first to decide our company's best practice. This was mainly from not having a system in place prior to the purchase of this one. After an additional demo with the owner and explanations of how certain features and functionality might help our company there are no complaints.

### "Excellent Service!"

March 18, 2016

4.5

Pros

Comprehensive view of applicant combined with appropriate screening. The whole service makes our continuing hiring process more successful. Customer service is available always to answer any questions. If an applicant spends the time to answer the screening questions we feel they are serious and can complete a task. The evaluations tell us how suitable the applicant is to Caregiving.

Cons

There really isn't anything about this product that is unappealing.

### "Applicant Stack Review "

April 26, 2018

5.0

I am able to see who the applicant is working with, due to the ability for other managers to use it as well

Pros

This software has helpful features, such as the stages of the hiring process. It shows when a manager has elevated the candidate to the next level.

Cons

This software doesn't always remove a candidate when their application has been denied, also it holds on too long to applicants. I have profiles from 2017 still in the system or even longer. This in my opinion should be updated to 3-6 months

October 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

I'm an end user, a hiring manager. I found the UI clean, easy to navigate, and easy to manage the information on applicants.

Cons

Honestly, nothing. It did what it was designed to do. I can't comment from the HR management side.

### "Ability to create personalized new hire docs is very handy"

December 13, 2019

4.0

Pros

I can create my own documents for employee onboarding specific to our industry needs. We have locations across the US and travel often. The ability to create state specific checklists for our new hires makes onboarding a breeze.

Cons

Hiring stages go unused. Not able to easily create my own work flow that would suffice.

### "Wonderful Product for Hiring"

March 19, 2016

4.5

Pros

I like the ability to organize and keep an active pipeline of applicants. I also like the ability to easily pull reports for labor law issues.

Cons

I would like to easily create and customize my own buckets of applicants. The only way I can do that now is to contact the company and they can create more/less for me. Sometimes I have groups of applicants going through the hiring process at different times and would like to easily organize them.

### "Full Featured"

November 20, 2020

4.0

I had an overall good experience evaluating ApplicantStack. Ultimately, our home office went with another ATS product.

Pros

I evaluated ApplicantStack when reviewing different packages for applicant tracking software. ApplicantStack. With a few clicks you can post a new job to multiple job boards. Sharing resumes between managers is easy and paperless.

Cons

There is a little bit of a learning curve to customize the software. Although I can search resumes, I didn't find a way to search partial names of candidates.

5.0

Pros

user friendly, easy to get up and running, good technical support, they are adding more features regularly, some customization available, speeds up the job posting process, makes reporting easy, webinars are very helpful,

Cons

The system needs custom reporting options. The standard options do not always fit our needs. But this has been only a minor issue for us.

### "Great for small companies !"

February 12, 2016

4.0

Pros

This product is a great tool for keeping applicants organized from the application being submitted throughout the hiring process. It's easy to find candidates and sort them based off of jobs applied to and status.

Cons

Maybe it's just the version my company has, but we do not have the mobile capabilities that candidates are thriving for. It also does not link with Outlook (which would be nice).

### "Intuitive"

April 19, 2011

4.0

Overall, the pipeline feature is something my higher-ups love, so that they can peek in whenever they like and have all the information neatly summarized for them. The questionnaire creation process is better than I've seen with other hiring systems, but worse than the survey sites we as an organization are used to. Basically, what you see in the free trial is what you get in the paid version, so if you like it, buy it!

Pros

The configuration of the entire program is very user-friendly. I've never used any sort of applicant tracking system before, yet could easily navigate ApplicantStack. And the Support Portal has everything one could ever need! Even so, if a question is too organization- or job-specific to be included in the portal, Faith Bliga is prompt and thorough in her responses to inquiries.

Cons

The cost is high. Compared to sites like theresumator.com, ApplicantStack doesn't offer a price reduction if you only need to post a few jobs. You must pay for unlimited postings regardless.

### "Helpful site"

October 15, 2018

5.0

Tracking resumes, applications, and applicants has been very easy. It is nice to be able to see if the applicant is a repeat applicant or if they have not ever contacted us before. The knockout scoring has been helpful in wading through all the resumes.

Pros

The site is easy to use and navigate. The customer service staff have been extremely helpful and respond very quickly.

Cons

I don't have any criticism of the site.

### "Very easy to use software made my job very easy to look for experienced candidates."

May 14, 2018

5.0

I got to hire 2 employees from this software it made my life so much easier.

Pros

helped you to schedule actual interviews and choose what the next step in hiring is. very helpful to use and eliminate the applications that you are not interested in.

Cons

I didn't like that this software didn't help out much with duplicate entries of certain candidates. also it let applicants submit an application with no information attached to it.

Hi Luz, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. We have added enhancements to our duplicate submissions recently. Hopefully this resolved your issue. If not,please contact support. You do have an option to make all questionnaires required so the candidate would not be able to submit an application without it being complete. Again, please contact support so we can assist you with that.

May 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's great to be able to have the tool bar on the right hand side of the screen. It makes for quick and easy short cuts or changes that need to be made.

Cons

I feel as though when printing out links of paperwork, that it prints in an odd format and wastes paper with just a few words on the first page of some forms.
