### "Performance is adequate "

August 15, 2024

3.0

Overall we like the system. Hoping for a few upgrades or automation upgrades

Pros

All applications in one location and all job postings as well. We don’t use the postings as much as review of applicants

Cons

Convoluted web portal People can put in multiple apps. No easy way to quickly eliminate dups. Feel like there should be better / separation between applications and job postings

### "We LOVE Applicant Stack"

August 19, 2024

5.0

Helpful and knowledgeable sales and onboarding team who promoted a great and very affordable option.

Pros

Customization and control over the workflow. I also really appreciate the e-sign features and integration with other softwares and systems.

Cons

I would have appreciated another set up/onboarding meeting when getting started, but the system isn't too complicated, and we self-served ultimately.

It was easy to navigate and use. I had an orientation, but really could have done it without one, I think.

Pros

The ease of finding nurses and their information is what I like the best

Cons

The ability to add a nurse (by a recruiter) without their complete information.

3.0

Pros

The app provides a lot of information to the company. I have not heard issues from applicants. I like the connectivity to our personal email.

Cons

The system does have some more common functionality similar to MSWord. Also, the system does not have the ability for users to store their own personal templates. Only company wide templates are stored.

### "Works as it should"

August 26, 2024

4.0

It's been easy to use. The rating system helps with tracking of applicants. We normally have a small number to review at a time (<5) so maybe a place for comments on the dashboard to have some bullet points to separate the applicant's highlights?

Pros

I like having the resume attached, along with any additional questions we need addressed prior to consideration.

Cons

I would like a means to send comments along with each referral to the next step. Maybe also something akin to a timer or status update for the interviewing staff to confirm review of the applicant as it goes through the steps.
