### "Reveiw"

October 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like that I am able to add my own personal forms and fairly easy.

Cons

I really wish that applicants were able to leave their real signature versus just a cursive fount. May need to move to a different software that has this feature.

### "Applicant Stack"

September 24, 2019

5.0

Applicant Stack onboarded our organization very efficiently and the customer service has been outstanding and follow up has been prompt.

Pros

Integration with Clear Care. The ability to text and email applicants. Adding notes so there is a history of the communication with the applicant. The ability to move an applicant thru stages of the application process. Dashboard with the quick glance reporting.

Cons

We have been extremely pleased with Applicant Stack and currently do not have anything we dislike about the software.

### "Great Software for the price"

December 8, 2016

5.0

You can't beat the price for ApplicantStack! They are just as powerful as the other applicant tracking systems, but without the high price tag. Despite the cons I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Pros

They really get to know you, and your business and the needs associated with you and your business. Prompt with email help, they replied within about two hours.

Cons

Not integrated yet with Shibboleth yet, and when you call for phone support you never get anyone, you only get voicemails which is kinda frustrating sometimes.

### "New user"

August 25, 2010

3.0

Overall, I really like Application Stack and would absolutly recommend it to anyone that does not currently have an online application process. It has made my job so much more easier.

Pros

Once you understand the program and know how to use it, it is very easy and provides all the information that you need.

Cons

At first learning how to use the program and changing some settings was difficult. There is no user's guide, so you have play with the system, and finding the correct location to make any changes is hit and miss. The formate in which the admin user views the applicant I do not like. It shows the application as question and answer, I would rather the application look as it appears to the applicant.

### "Helpful tool for storing notes about candidates."

March 18, 2016

4.5

Pros

I can update status and notes for a candidate, the logical order of information, ability to customize and add a stage to candidates, the job postings that I can create, modify, add, and delete, and the ability to send them to various sites.

Cons

I include job offer in my Orientation phase; if I had to write something, I put these two together. That is just me.

### "Human Resources Manager"

September 7, 2011

5.0

Very efficient and cost effective. My highest recommendation.

Pros

This system is very effective and efficient. We are a Federal Contractor so first priority was capturing EEO/AA info for all applicants. This system does this and also provides ongoing, updated reports with a simple click. I no longer have to spend hours going through resumes that are unsolicited or incomplete. Applicants can only apply for open positions online and I am now able to add and score position specific questions which saves time spent screening. I think the most surprising aspect of ApplicantStack is the prompt service provided when issues arise, which has been limited.

Cons

No Cons at this point.

### "Overall experience is pretty good. "

March 18, 2016

4.0

Pros

I like the option of automatically sending emails or sending them manually. I also like the reports and the ability to send our application link out automatically after an inquiry is created.

Cons

I just wish it was connected to Clear Care. I also would like to be able to view the applications of the candidates that are in the Talent Pool Leads report. I would like to see what they have filled out on the app even if they haven't finished it before deciding whether or not to follow up with a call or email.

### "Director of Recruitment's Notes"

March 21, 2016

2.5

Pros

East to use, easy to communicate with candidates. That's all I can say.

Cons

The reports! Our numbers are often inconsistent. We ask questions of what we can do better, to achieve more accurate results, but haven't found success. I understand how applications completed can vary, but interviews shouldn't. They rarely match what we manually hand count.

### "Highly flexible system for handling applications, sorting and sifting"

October 13, 2009

5.0

I would highly recommend this SaaS application. We are a small organsiation, but require consultants for short term contracts which attract many hundreds of applications. Without ApplicantStack, it would take weeks and weeks or resources, which we simply do not have.

Pros

We like the ability to customise the workflow, this is extremely easy and very powerful. Uploading CV's from an inbox is easy. We have not tried to have applicants reply directly to ApplicantStack. However, this would be very useful in the future.

Cons

None as yet

### "ApplicantStack Review"

March 18, 2016

5.0

Pros

I like the versatility and all of the reports. You are able to see how long it takes to interview, check backgrounds, etc. If an applicant is unable to complete their application, there is a report with their contact info and you can call or email them and offer your assistance.

Cons

Nothing at this point; I'm finally using it to it's full potential.

### "Human Resources"

4.0

So far we are very pleased with the system's capabilities. It is also user friendly and cost efficient. Could probably have more comments after we have had a little longer time to utilize all it's capabilities.

Pros

1) Ability to search for applicants and check status in system so much more convenient and time effective. 2) Cost efficient and user friendly. 3) Like having the ability to separately review candidates for each specific job instead of having to sort them manually. 4) Automatically maintains Applicant Log versus us having to manually enter.

Cons

1) Reporting feature - haven't had a lot of time to focus on the reporting, but at first glance may not have everything we need.

### "In-house/Field Recruitment Coordinator"

October 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

Simplistic design. I also like how the system detects duplicate applicants once information is entered.

Cons

Running excel reports. I feel like pulling information into reports gets kind of complicated. Being able to filter what you want to have in the report would be more helpful.

### "Capable product, simple to implement and use."

March 3, 2016

4.5

Pros

Easy to implement and start using. In looking for a quick solution during a major transition between companies, ApplicantStack was a life saver. In one step you had a system with compliance and reporting built in.

Cons

The selling point of the product is the fact you don't have to implement, you bascially sign up and go. But because it needs to remain simple, it misses the full functionality of a traditional ATS from an internal process compliance perspective.

### "Using ApplicantStack allows me the ease of finding qualified applicants easliy."

June 4, 2018

5.0

The flexibility of being able to hire qualified applicants.

Pros

What I like most about the program is the user friendly website.

Cons

What I like least about the program is the reports are sometimes hard to capture the numbers I need (although it is probably user error.)

### "Recruiting Made Easier"

March 18, 2016

3.0

Pros

I love that I can manage all my recruiting ads from various websites in one convenient location.

Cons

It would be wonderful (and a huge time saver) if ApplicantStack would migrate all new applicants right into my scheduling software Clear Care. Right now, I have to manually input all new applicants which can eat up a huge portion of my time.

March 18, 2016

5.0

Pros

First of all, I appreciate most the excellent back up help when prospective applicants "mess up" their online app. and support goes beyond in rectifying the problem for us! Technically, there is smooth transition between our other software.

Cons

Nothing, It has been valuable in recruiting candidates and aided in evaluating each candidate.

Ease of access to resumes and career builder sites like LinkedIn and Indeed!

Hi Matthew! Thank you for writing a review about ApplicantStack. Hiring Managers do have limited access to certain things such as candidates and jobs. It is up to the administrator to grant access. It can be done at the account level or at the individual job / candidate/ or stage level. If you need further access, I would suggest contacting the account administrator.

### "Easy Open API"

October 5, 2016

5.0

The best open API ever in hiring space. Onboard is just as easy...even old school recruiter can maneuver.

Pros

Open API simple to use. Don't need to be a pro to use this. I thought myself in a hour how to maneuver the entire tracking....from posting to recruiting to Onboarding.

Cons

Waiting for their mobile app...I hope they will keep it simple.
