### "ApplicantStack allows us to manage recruitment easily among different offices."

April 20, 2018

4.0

captures all applicants in a central location that can be viewed and managed by multiple offices.

Pros

Ability to manage multiple offices, multiple hiring managers and have a clear idea of who is applying and when.

Cons

Wish it could interact with third party software somehow - when we recruit on campuses for interns there is no way to have on campus applicants who apply via the different college job boards flow into applicant stack.

5.0

I think it is a great recruitment tool

Pros

Ease to go from stage to stage, and it allows you to download applicant information into Clearcare, which makes that process easier. Also technical support is very good.

Cons

Many facets to learn, some seem cumbersome as you might need to go to Stage to Stage. Need to research how to eliminate candidates, in a more efficient manner.

4.0

This product is so simple to use, customer service is phenomenal, and the knowledge base is very in-depth. Thank you guys!

Pros

I have just begun using Applicant Stack and am exploring the extent of its capabilities. I am very excited about how much Applicant Stack simplifies our hiring process. Any time I have a question or want another feature, the support team gets back to me within 24 hours. I have learned several tricks to doing what I want. When I request a new feature, the support team is on it quickly and finds a way to make it happen. I am very happy with this system, the support, and the responsiveness of your team.

Cons

Any con I can think of is something I have already asked about and the support team is working on finding a fix for it.

### "Recruiter for In Home Care "

March 18, 2016

4.0

Pros

ApplicantStack is very organized. You have the ability to run all types of reports as well as look at one specific job posting and all the candidates for the position. It has really helped keep things organized in a world of crazy.

Cons

The thing I would say that is least convenient for me is that in sending a "group" email, it does not have the ability to personalize the emails like how they would look when you send an individual one. I usually end up going into the email and writing "Dear Applicant" rather than when it is generated for you with their own name.

Very good.

Pros

I found ApplicantStack very easy to navigate and use without any formal training. The integration with other applications (i.e. email and job sites) is excellent.

### "Great Product and Great Service"

March 30, 2016

4.0

Pros

As the owner of my company, I like the reports that ApplicantStack provides. It allows us to analyze our inflow of CAREGivers, Customer Service, and where we may need to improve. Also, they are very easy to use. Anytime I have a question or concern, they are quick to respond and help. I appreciate this in this busy world.

Cons

That is doesn't feed into my software. It is double step process in HR.

### "Could be more intuitive "

April 27, 2018

3.0

Pros

Works reliably as an electronic source for applications. Allows us to score each applicant for selection

Cons

Not easy to navigate. Could be more intuitive. It's disorganized however and is difficult to find documents for certain applicants because they can be stored in several locations

### "Applicant Stack Review"

October 25, 2018

5.0

Its helped us transition from paper to electric documents and has overall made the company organization a lot smoother.

Pros

Once you begin to learn the software it helps make your documents and paperwork very organized.

Cons

I would be much more convenient if I were able to edit my own applications rather than constantly calling someone to do it.

October 12, 2018

Overall it has been solid.

Pros

The system is easy to use and the price point is pretty good.

### "ApplicantStack Review"

March 23, 2016

3.0

Pros

Can post a job and review candidates on the same platform.

Cons

Product is too simple. Reports are questionable with output. Example if you do not move an a candidate to hire the day they are hired - maybe I am on vacation or out of the office - you cannot manipulate the date to reflect the true event date. There's no charts or graphs to provide a visual reference - Be great to have a dashboard.

### "Very effective application"

December 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

Although I started using the application recently, I found it easy to use. I able to view all of the applicants , access their documents, and transfer between available job descriptions without issue.

Cons

None to describe at this time. There was one issue with communicating with an applicant whose resume was not attached on the app. I was attempting to communicate with her through her provided email, that I thought I was sending through my Outlook, but I was unsure. There was a lot of back and forth because she stated she was attaching her resume, but I did not see it on the app. So I had to email her directly to send it to me, and not rely on the attachment through the app. I think she was using Indeed as her job search platform.

### "I miss the original application. The old application gave vital info."

March 18, 2016

4.0

Pros

Applicant stack is easy to use and has several great reports to compile information.

Cons

The new application. I would like the old back without assessment test. It saved me time from calling people I wouldn't have. If they were only at several jobs for 3 months and left for not enough hours, they would not be a good candidate for us. If they move a lot and I have 4 to 7 counties to check, etc.

Pros

I like that the software is user friendly.

Hi Carrie! Thank you for writing a review of ApplicantStack. You can easily move the candidate that you are no longer interested in pursuing to an inactive stage - you can still access them, but they will no longer be cluttering up your screen!

Pros

I enjoy that the site links to our onboarding Paycor account. This makes it very easy to onboard. I also like that you can overview all hires easily on the first page.

Cons

I wish there was a way to input wages so that it sets up in my template of emails. I am sure there is a way, I just haven't found it yet.

Hi Renata! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. Please contact support so we can get more information from you about the issue you are experiencing. I am not sure I understand your concern about limited space and layout. If it is for the job description, some of the restrictions are in place from the job boards so we have no control over that.
