### "So far every thing has been pretty simple to use and figure out. I love it!"

May 31, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that it is very simple to figure out and use! It also has a great way to mass email possible candidates.

Cons

Sometimes finding the candidates can be a little confusing. It also sometimes changes applicants managers to some one else. It is annoying to have to go in and make my self the hiring manager.

### "Staying Connected to the Online Application Process"

March 18, 2016

4.0

Pros

I like that it sends me notifications to my email when an application is submitted online. I like that you are able to move the applicant through the hiring process stages in ApplicantStack. I also like that you can send the applicant an email through ApplicantStack.

Cons

There are several different functions on the right side of the page. I think there are a few too many, and I honestly do not use many of them. Maybe if I better understood their use, I would utilize them more.

### "ApplicantStack has been easy to use."

April 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

The ease of use and how you can quickly move between parts of the application. I also like how you can log in and see the new applications quickly.

Cons

The resume converter from .doc to .pdf doesn't always keep the formatting. Sometimes when I go to open a resume after it has been converted to .pdf there are pages that are out of line. This gives a poor appearance.

June 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Easy to use, very straight forward. The lay out is clean and I am able to makes changes and updates. The customer service is very responsive. Every question I have they have found resolution to. Very friendly and the type of company you want to partner with.

Cons

Can't think of any at the moment which is a good problem to have. Can't think of any at the moment which is a good problem to have.

March 21, 2016

Pros

The ability to track the hiring process from start to finish

Cons

Reports - seem hard to get what I'm looking for. Maybe I need a tutorial on how to get the numbers I need?

### "Very detailed tracking system"

December 20, 2019

5.0

It's a bit cumbersome, but gets the job done. Personally I'd rather deal with scores of paper than emails.

Pros

You can see where everyone is in the pipeline.

Cons

OMG the system generates an email for every action the applicant completes. When I have two or three new hires processing my inbox is clogged with scores of notifications. Appliicant Stack notification... Jane doe has started an application, Jane Doe has signed form 223-C, Jane Doe has acknowledged Drug Free Workplace Policy.

### "Pretty steady product but also facing issues currently."

June 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

Hands on didn't take time for us to understand the product entirely. Applications are processed and delivered in a customized format on the screen as expected. Hope my team catches it up soon as it's easy to help them understand it as well. It offers the same things that the other systems did for us previously and it's actually our cons that we didn't try this earlier.

Cons

Help setup more better documentation for referring so that we can help sort our issues without having to contact the support team. And please skip the confirmation of every chosen option at the end. Faster is better, but should also be idiot proof.

### "Easy to Use!"

July 25, 2018

4.0

It's a good stand alone ATS.

Pros

I liked how easy it was to use Applicant Stack - and that we could post a job once and have it hit several job boards simultaneously. I liked the ability to create questions, and rule out unqualified applicants - it saves a lot of time.

Cons

Drop down lists and filters have improved some but could still be better. The ultimate reason we aren't using this software now is because although there are integrations available, our company went with a software that had everything in one suite, that worked seamlessly together (CRM, Recruiting, Payroll, Books, Time Tracking, Invoicing, Campaigns, etc.).

April 26, 2018

3.0

Pros

All application materials are accessible from the applicant's main page. Applicants are organized in timeline form.

Cons

Some of the navigation could be more user friendly. I initially had trouble locating the most recent applicants for a specific job listing.

### "Applicant Stack is a great resource for our office. I consult it every day."

May 25, 2018

5.0

Applicant Stack gives us a central location to screen applicants and track them through the hiring process

Pros

Applicant Stack is easy to use and has multiple functions. I can send emails, make interview appointments and walk the applicant through all the hiring stages.

Cons

Applicant Stack does not seem to be able to weed out those applications that are out of our area. We have received some applications from Puerto Rico and Mississippi and our office is in Idaho. I also have heard from some applicants that they are unsure about the website, if it is secure. They are not comfortable sending their personal information to us using the site.

Email Functionality, love the templates, notifications, and ease of use, it saves us a large amount of time. I also use the text function often, this is a super feature.
