### "Solid ATS"

April 10, 2019

4.0

### "In search of qualified employees"

December 10, 2019

5.0

I had a good experience with ApplicantStack. I don't know if it is just a better job market right now or it was the product, but I received better candidates for my open positions.

Pros

I liked that ApplicantStack brought together the top job sites so I didn't have to review multiple web sites. I got at least 3 good candidates for each job and didn't feel that I had to settle for the one that had just some of the qualifications I needed.

Cons

I don't know the system from the user prospective but felt I was missing some information on some of the applicants. Some included a cover letter, resume and complete application. Others had the minimum.

### "Good software"

December 18, 2019

5.0

I am able to get lots of applications in daily and the cost is very reasonable.

Pros

I like that I am able to list in several places at once. I can have all the information that is important to a candidate all in one place

Cons

The color is very lite so it's sometimes difficult to see. It would be help full if we are able to get a darker color for the font.

### "Learning curve but so far we are happy"

December 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software helps us organize and streamline our onboarding process. It allowed for us to upload the forms we already use as well as create new ones.

Cons

Teaching the office staff how to use it took a little time and will take more practice, however that is not necessarily a reflection on the actual program.

### "Easy to use, inexpensive applicant tracking system"

August 26, 2010

5.0

If your company needs a solution to paper applications and a system that will enable you to efficiently manage applicants to your job postings, this is a super-easy, inexpensive solution for businesses of any size.

Pros

1\. cloud-based so it's super-easy to get started without infrastructure investment. 2. very inexpensive - less than $40.00/month for one user. 3. flexible and customizable - we were able to tailor the workflows to match our internal processes. 4. brandable - inexpensive to brand our job board to match the look-feel of our website. 5. prompt and professional support - they resolved our issues in a very timely manner.

Cons

None - we have been very impressed with the product and would highly recommend it to any small/medium business that needs a fast/flexible/inexpensive solution to tracking job openings and processing applicants.

October 12, 2018

5.0

Great so far.

Pros

The ease of use throughout the process (application to date of hire). Makes it easier to communicate with the applicant, HR, supervisors and more.

### "Great Value"

August 19, 2018

5.0

So far so good -- signed up for free trial (really like that I can try before I buy) and posted a few jobs. Already I've received over 30 resumes. Makes my life a lot easier and let's me focus on my business while still finding talent.

Pros

Able to post to multiple job boards and track all applicants from one place.

Cons

The user interface took me a little while to get used to.

### "Simple ATS with limited customization "

December 10, 2019

4.0

I have learned to navigate the features by referring to the help center. As a client you don't receive a lot of one-on-one training/support from an actual account manager.

Pros

The format is simple and easy to use. Clean dashboard.

Cons

A little tough to navigate the set-up for a first time user. The help center was a nice resource with video content.

### "Applicant Stack has a great layout for potential applicants to use. It's very easy to use"

May 8, 2018

5.0

It gives us access to applicants from a wide variety of backgrounds

Pros

It's easy for applicants to use the system, and very easy for them to attach their resume, etc. It's easy for us to week out applicants that don't meet the requirements that we need such as proper licenses, etc. That helps us a lot and keeps us from wasting time.

Cons

I don't always get notifications when I have a new applicant, but that may be a setting on our end and not actually a software issue

Pros

We have seamless transitions from Recruit to On-Boarding which has allowed us to streamline our HR tasking. A real plus!

### "As a hiring manager I find AS very easy to use"

April 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

The layout, the ability to set stages is awesome and the platform is user friendly. I also appreciate the feature to notify applicants where they are in the application process

Cons

It doesn't automatically duplicate applications, if it recognized email addresses or phone numbers when it's the same job posting it would make it a little easier

December 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

The stages that are available to place the candidates in to organize them and remember where we're at.

Cons

The auto email to the candidate is not necessary. I would rather choose an email to add than to remove it.

April 24, 2018

4.0

Helps me find applicants for a specific type of work

Pros

Easy to use and can streamline list of applicants for a specific job. Has all the information I need on a particular applicant.

Cons

While looking at information on a applicant if you back space out it takes you to top of list. With possible hundreds of applicants it takes you back to top of list.

### "The value of User Interface..."

September 22, 2016

4.0

Pros

The User Interface, that's right, the design of the pages themselves is what keeps bringing me back to ApplicantStack The information architecture and logically placed buttons make for a well done UX

Cons

The sales team is very hard to get in touch with; when I was looking to purchase, I had to jump through hoops to find them.

### "Review of Applicant Stack"

March 18, 2016

5.0

Pros

Applicant Stack streamlines our hiring process and makes it more efficient, cost effective as well as easier to find good employees before we take time to interview or possibly hire them. One way they do this for us by partnering with Assess Systems to create a customizable survey that each applicant takes. My office loves this feature!

Cons

The reporting features are sometimes difficult to figure out. I have had to call in for help in understanding hiring metrics and statistics.

March 18, 2016

3.5

Pros

Fairly adaptable to meet your needs. Can make some adjustments to better suit how you want to use the system. Our rep has always been quick to respond to my questions and help as much as he is able.

Cons

The inconsistencies in the reports - with no explanation. The more we use the reports, the more problems we seem to find.

### "Helpful System in Tracking Applicants"

May 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

It is helpful to track applicants from when they apply all the way through the hiring process. I also like the feature that shows when and what people have applied for before and the stage you marked previously.

Cons

There are some features that are not user friendly. I would like the stages to be more easily accessible.

July 26, 2016

4.5

Pros

I love how customizable everything is. You are really able to make it your own and add, delete or rename work flows and action items to tailor to your departments specific needs.

Cons

Reporting is a concern as it is not really made for tracking multiple users. Also there seems to be a lot of time out connection issues as well, however their customer support portal is always on top of getting back to you immediately if there is an issue.

### "An ATS That Works Well"

October 15, 2018

4.0

For the price, ApplicantStack is a solid ATS. I came from using iCIMS, which feels like going from Apple software that is very user-friendly to an old Windows software.

Pros

Simple to post new positions, the price, easy to customize email templates/screener questions etc.

Cons

If you have a high req count with high amounts of applicants, I think this software would not be the best to use. I sit on 3-5 reqs so it works fine for me. The software just feels outdated, in my opinion, I have to go through way more clicks to complete my tasks.
