### "All-in-one job posting success"

October 16, 2018

5.0

I don't use any service outside of ApplicantStack for job postings except staffing agencies. I expect that my post is going to be found by a wide array of candidates online.

Pros

It's very easy to post a new listing and results potentially start coming in immediately.

Cons

The dashboard is a little confusing to navigate. Perhaps could be more intuitive?

### "I find it very easy to find the applicants I need and follow their progress."

April 23, 2018

5.0

Being able to track a person through the whole process and having one place for all our team to make notes or see the information.

Pros

The biggest pro would be how easy it is to log in. I love that I get an email letting me know that a new application has been submitted and that there is a link right their for me to get to it.

Cons

I don't use this software on a daily basis so sometimes I have to spend a few minutes figuring out, remembering, where certain information is located.

### "Great Interface"

December 10, 2019

5.0

Pros

Being able to place candidates into different categories to know who you have already phone screened, interview, and offered a job to, and by Rating of Potential helps narrow down candidates when I have a lot of applicants.

Cons

Often candidates stated that they were not receiving email communication I attempted to send through ApplicantStacks's email candidate interface.

March 18, 2016

4.5

Pros

It is very user friendly. I really like that you can change things in this system on your own with needing to contact customer support.

Cons

Would like a better way to track people who did not complete the application and a better way to contact them from applicant stack if they have not completed the application.

5.0

Its still new so has some minor issues but I still like to use it

Pros

### "Organized Onboarding."

July 14, 2020

5.0

I would recommend getting the bundle deal with the recruiting and onboarding benefits in one. Condenses a lot of separate activities into one manageable application.

Pros

Great product for onboarding new employees especially for large companies that hire on many employees at once. Great for organizing and monitoring.

Cons

I really like the onboarding half of this program however I'm not sure it adds any benefit to the recruiting side. I'm not sure if it brings on better qualified applicants than other programs.

### "applicant tracking system"

October 13, 2009

5.0

Best of all the Applicant Tracking Systems I've tested.

Pros

I have looked at every applicant tracking system Capterra has listed and at least fifty more. Detail tested thirty systems that seem to fit from their decription. I've selected ApplicantStack because of its logical layout and straight forward design and easy of learning. Adding new fields to your Applicant or Job records is very simple to do and can be done in under two minutes. Need job specific pre-screening questions? I haven't found a better system then ApplicantStack . Their tech support has been outstanding, email or call and they respond very fast. If you think of something that would be helpful, your ideas will be discussed with you. I express thanks to ApplicantStack, for there outstanding system and helpfulness. Buddy Simpson

Cons

Could use a Company file.

### "Applicant Stack"

October 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

The software makes it able to review multiple candidates for the same position at one time.

Cons

It requires permission to view candidates which is not always helpful if you're an invited guest to an interview and have not been granted permission. It would be helpful if a hiring manager could grant view only access.

March 24, 2016

4.5

Pros

I love the breakdown of stages in the hiring process that Applicant Stack provides, as well as the task reminders. I'm also very impressed with how quickly I hear back from them when I have a question about something. I like that Applicant Stack has a direct link to Trak-1, our background check vendor.

Cons

I wish we could adjust the applications to fit our office's specific needs.

It's been great. I picked it up almost instantly.

Pros

I like that this software is easy to use, sets notifications and is also easy to manage on the administrative side. Very straightforward.

### "Great Product"

October 12, 2009

5.0

Best money spent and 100 hours saved,

Pros

I have been the CEO of several companies both small and large. I or my HR department has purchased many different recruitment and candidate tracking software, even paying as much as $70,000. ApplicantStack.com was easy to get functioning, easy to learn, and easy to implement. It has saved me many 100 hours every time we hire. Even our candidates have had positive thing to say about how easy and informative compared to other companies recruitment portal/website. It is so much more featured than other products that are 10x the cost yet Applicantstack is easy to learn and use - very well thought out and designed. Well worth the cost - best money spent!

Cons

They advertise as small to medium, but it has so many features and is multiuser that I would recemmend any large company to take a serious look.

### "Honest Review"

October 19, 2018

5.0

Overall it has been a rather good experience.

Pros

It is secure but allows other individuals who need to review applicants to do so.

Cons

It can be a little confusing, however I think most of the confusing parts are due to company internal processes rather than the actual software.

October 12, 2018

4.0

Overall I am happy with ApplicantStack. It helps me to stay organized and keep track of where my applicants are in the process, as well as grant me the option to have information readily available and easy to find/navigate.

Pros

It helps me to keep everything organized with my applicants and their stages. I use the notes section the most! I also like how I can sort by Job and Stage when looking at applicants - really helps me stay on top of what I need to be doing with them.

Cons

The email option is functional but I feel that it could be more streamlined.
