### "Easy to configure, use, and administer."

December 10, 2019

4.0

Pros

ApplicantStack is easy to configure, use, and administer.

Cons

At this time, it is quite US/North America-centric with respect to automated job board posting and compliance, so would not recommend for an organization with global locations. I have, however, recommended it to colleagues with US-only operations.

Switched from

[iCIMS Hire](https://www.capterra.com/p/93248/iCIMS-Recruit/)

It is being used as an interim solution. Our contract with iCIMS was ending before we were ready to configure the SuccessFactors instance we purchased.

### "Not bad but could be better"

December 13, 2019

3.0

From recruiting stand point, sorta stressful when a person applies to like 10 different positions with the same email. If applicants already applied, it should not let them apply until 90 days from that date.

Pros

Sorta easy and specific to use, plus a good candidate pool.

Cons

\*Applicants are able to reapply to different requisitions with the same email. \*Freezes very often

### "hiring manager; entering feedback"

April 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

helpful that software remembers prior responses (dates, persons attending); last round of improvements are helpful; functionality is progressing nicely

Cons

it would be nice to have access through an app \[is there already access through an app?\]; it would also be nice to have software perform similarly regardless of browser \[functionality varies from chrome to IE\]

Please contact support with more details on functionality across browsers. It should be the same within ApplicantStack no matter which browser you use. Items like downloading or printing (since it is browser specific) might differ.

5.0

Pros

What I like the most about Applicant Stack is it's easy to move the candidates along through the process. Very easy to use.

Cons

Often times the consent for drug screen and background check email has to be sent multiple times before the new hire receives it.

### "ApplicantStack"

December 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

It is user friendly. I do not struggle to find information I am looking for because it is all pooled together on applicant stack. Communication is key in my type of work and I am able to effectively communicate with applicants through this site.

Cons

There is not really anything I least enjoy about this software. It is user friendly and everything I need is all in one area.

### "Worked Daily with ApplicantStack "

March 18, 2016

4.5

Pros

I like the ease and ability in which the product is adapatable to the the customer, the Rep. we had was very kind and patient in helping us set up the application, assist with the understanding of the product and talk to us about the reports, etc. Every step of the way, we were given a very professional and user friendly understanding of everything about the product.

Cons

There really wasn't much that I can think of that we didn't like about this product or vendor. Really they worked with us steadily and comfortably.

### "Good experience and serves it's purpose well."

April 19, 2018

4.0

The software is helpful for receiving and reviewing applications. It is very useful to our church and a good resource for our Human Resources Ministry.

Pros

Easy to navigate! I like that ApplicantStack allows me to see what others roles people have applied for and that I can see their history for applying for different positions.

Cons

It's not easy to print things from this software and doesn't always seem to be the most user-friendly. I also think the main page could be more visually appealing.

### "Easy hiring management software"

October 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

Able to track applicants through the whole process. NO shuffling paper applications! All online -so everyone involved in the hiring process can access and add notes to the applicants profile. Ability to see when someone has applied before and what our notes were from that time.

Cons

The process for changing the application questions is a little cumbersome.

### "Lots easier than paper!"

December 13, 2019

4.0

It saves us countless hours of time with what in today's age is a long and complex hiring process. That time savings equates to money savings and increased efficiency.

Pros

You can pretty much do the entire application/hiring process on a computer. Our company hires hundreds of seasonal staff every year for the summer. This program makes it easy to sort through applicants, re-hires, know where people are in the process and just plain saves a lot of valuable time for supervisors and HR staff.

Cons

All the things it does can have a bit of a learning curve for some people to learn it all. It really varies with how tech savvy you are, but it can be learned with patience and competent support staff within your agency.

### "Helpful program."

October 19, 2018

3.0

Overall positive. We never had any service like this before and were much more disorganized.

Pros

I most like the database/organization value of it. I like the stage function but think it could be improved.

Cons

I least like the stage change options - they don't really align with our hiring process. I wish they were more customizable. I also have had some trouble with the email module and not being able to CC various people from my organization.

I like the fact that the system posts your job ADs to many different big job boards so you are getting more exposure for your money.

### "We were able to have many features built in to the product when we first began using it."

April 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy to track applicants throughout all stages, we were able to customize many features for our own use as needed.

Cons

The site crashes too often and is quite slow to respond at times. I would like the employee search feature to be able to find applicants without having to spell a name exactly as it is entered into the system for that name to be located. I'm aware of the search feature at the top of the page next to the users name to locate applicants but that can sometimes be a longer process than it sould be for names that are very common.

October 12, 2018

5.0

All of our applications are in one place and the process of moving them through interviews and hiring is smooth. ApplicantStack saves me so much time when dealing with the candidates and management team. The support team has been quick and efficient and have been able to answer all questions.

Pros

The ease of setting everything up was great.

Cons

It would be great to be able to enter time slots for candidates to choose from for the interviews instead of just a time from. It would also be great to list certain dates instead of it being set up in weeks.
