### "Overall, it's been a great experience. "

March 21, 2016

4.0

Pros

Applicant Stack is overall a fantastic piece of software. It's very clean cut and definitely one that helps influence my abilities and hiring process within the office.

Cons

The only negative facet I see is that sometimes it is very hard to manage due to the overwhelming response we receive. With that I would really enjoy seeing a feature within Applicant Stack that allows for a cleaner system, without having 'Do Not Pursue' applicants all in between.

### "Applicant Stack - A good basic system for beginners"

May 13, 2016

3.5

Pros

The system is user friendly, it serves as a collective database and the support staff is prompt to respond.

Cons

Not mobile optimized Can not parce in or drag and drop resumes/candidates Has no "job fit" or ratings page that is easy to review Report offerings are not robust and not easy to customize

I like that the candidates come right to our email. Again I have nothing to compare it to as this is a new position for me. I have no complaints

Pros

I have nothing to compare it too but it seems to work well.

Cons

I know there are other features we are not using at this time. As I use it more, I may ask to have them incorporated into ours

### "Great Software and Support"

March 20, 2016

4.5

Pros

Helps to put a lot of resources and data all in one place.

Cons

Easy to get loss until you become comfortable. I would suggest reading up on the content and then spending some time going in and posting jobs. Looking at applications and sending email out while still inside the software package.

### "Great product for sorting your applicants by stages and keeping records!"

October 15, 2018

4.0

AS helps our HR department (of 1) be able to rate candidates according to their experience, refer them to management for the next step, email through the software and keep detailed records on each applicants' phase.

Pros

AS is a hub for our one-person HR department to keep track of each applicants' stage, notify them efficiently as well as keep a record of their application/paperwork.

Cons

The software isn't very user-friendly for new users. It takes a lot of clicking around to figure out where you need to go. The dashboard/aesthetics could be more appealing.

### "Applicantstack has been a wonderful tool in our HR Department"

March 11, 2015

5.0

I work in a K-12 school in New York City in the HR department. Our school is spread across 3 buildings and has over 200 employees. Applicantstack pros: simple teach to hiring managers; no more missing resumes; notes are shared, and we can do so taks at the click of a button. The library is fantastic; we keep job descriptions, email templates in one spot. We are very organized. Recruiters are using the system to input candidates. So happy we have this amazing tool! The customer service is super; I get immediate responses to any question. They help me learn new features, figure out when I have a setting wrong-just the best customer service.

March 18, 2016

Pros

Easy to use, self explanatory dashboard. I am able to keep a customized library of email templates to streamline communication with my candidate pool and easily sort and track by stage of process. You can literally teach yourself how to use this tracking system it's so well done.

Cons

I haven't found anything I don't like yet. Every time I think I have an issue, I learn one more function the software has that I wasn't aware of.
