### "Excellent Customer Service"

April 18, 2019

4.0

Overall, it is effective applicant software with amazing customer service. Its great for the price and does what we need it to.

Pros

Applicantstack is very user friendly similar to other products on the market. Its their customer service that really makes them stand out. Anytime that I need something or have any issues, they are so quick to respond and I usually end up talking to the same people so they become familiar with our account.

Cons

Importing documents can take a bit of time as does saving changes to applicants records.

### "Great for tracking applicant status for interviews and hire date."

March 18, 2016

4.0

Pros

Easy to understand and use, if I have any questions there is always someone a phone call away to answer them. I like that we can complete the entire hiring process and reflect what stage we are at. It is an added bonus to be able to click and send out for references and/or send emails out directly through this system.

Cons

I wish this program would be able to transfer information about applicants to our company system (clear care)

### "Used the software for a few years to fill various positions. "

April 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

Easy to use and easy to post jobs. I like being able to send emails to applicants without using my personal email.

Cons

I wish it included a few more job boards such as Monster without having to pay an additional fee to use.

Hi Michael! Thank you for taking the time to writ a review about ApplicantStack. Please note that we do not charge for posting to Monster. You need to have an account with Monster to post to their job board. Most of our job boards are free to post organically.

### "The Perfect Solution for Seasonal Hiring!!!"

March 4, 2010

4.0

Overall, I would recommend Applicant Stack to any small business that is seeking a more organized method of recruiting and hiring new employees.

Pros

We have been looking for a program that would help us better organize the hiring of our seasonal employees, but all others were way too expensive. Applicant Stack provides an extremely organized and user-friendly program for an even more extremely affordable price!

Cons

We would like to be able to use Applicant Stack to "onboard" our employees as well. It would be great if it had a feature that would allow us to track the progress of the hiring process per hired employee.

### "Great"

June 8, 2010

5.0

I highly recommend this software. The demo is clear and easy to understand and once implemented very user friendly. I greatly appreciate the constant support that I am given. This software has saved me so much time and helped immensely with organization of jobs and candidates.

Pros

It is simple enough where it is not too complicated for employees to learn and navigate through. Fits out needs and Nathan did a great job with the demo and assistance since purchased software. Also, the pricing is unbeatable!

Cons

Would like something set up to sort out duplicate candidates - actually having a conference call with Nathan today regarding this..

April 21, 2021

3.0

Pros

Tracking hires is great. That is the only thing I use in this software.

Cons

The cost to place an ad for hiring is insane. So expense for the amount we pay for this product this should be included.

### "Our experience was excellent"

May 29, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ability to be mobile and look at prospective CGs contact info and to have it at your fingertips if you are away from the office and get a call from them....or have to call them when you thought you were going to make it back to the office.

Cons

Nothing too much....just a little harder to navigate form a mobile device....but that is to be expected.

### "Satisfied User of Applicant Stack"

October 12, 2018

5.0

I overall love to use the Applicant Stack. It makes my work a lot easier and more efficient. Especially when I have to send out status reports of each candidate to the partnerships where I have done my recruitments.

Pros

I can actually see the stage process in which the candidates I recruit find themselves in. I can also look up candidates,not only one by one but also according to schools, locations I’ve visited in my recruitments.

Cons

When searching for individual candidates, the information would appear for maybe a second or two and go blank and return to the start search again. This is the only problem I’ve had. I hope it’s something that can be fixed.

### "I have had no issues using applicant stack thus far. "

May 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that it is very user friendly. Even though I haven't used the software for very long, it's easy to learn and easy to use.

Cons

My biggest complaint is that There aren't easy ways to filter by user. I am not an administrator and I can't see some applicants because of this. I just wish I could see that they are only viewable by the admin.

Response from Swipeclock

May 21, 2018

Hi Kelly! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. The administrator would need to give you access to the jobs in order for you to see the applicants. I would suggest contacting the administrator of your account. Please let us know if you have any questions.

### "Excellent Software Hiring Employees"

August 27, 2020

5.0

Pros

I have used ApplicantStack free trial to test its system. In my testing, I have seen this is a good tool for hire employees faster than manual processes. User interface and features are easy to use and beginner-friendly.

Cons

Some features are missing related to HR. But overall is good for a small team/company to hire employees than manual.

Pros

Love how easy it is to manage applications, post jobs, and upload documents. Support from our contact is great.

May 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

My department uses applicant stack to manage positions and awards. The review system is intuitive and customizable.

Cons

Our least favorite characteristic is that with our current plan we can only have one administrator.

### "Its alright."

October 16, 2018

3.0

Pretty good program for hiring sure beats pen and paper. However, the scoring system seems useless the way it is set up. People can use themselves as a reference three times and get points for that...

Pros

Does not take an excessive amount of time to comprehend.

Cons

The overall flow of the software. Felt choppy, had to go back and reorganize my stack any time I went forward.

Hi Brian! Thank you for writing a review about ApplicantStack. Please contact support so we can get more information from you about the issue you are experiencing. The scoring is based on how they answer a question as well as keywords set up int he resume.

### "Outstanding Flexible Onboarding Software"

September 22, 2016

4.5

Pros

Terrific software that is more flexible than most of what we looked at, so it works well for our very unique hiring needs. Vendor support is very responsive and has made a lot of custom enhancements for us at no or very reasonable cost. Software is continually improving with new releases.

Cons

We would prefer to have an option to easily capture actual written signatures electronically vs electronic signatures.

### "Review from HISC"

March 18, 2016

4.5

Pros

Easy to manage Applications. Making notes right on the site is wonderful. Emails are synced up so easy to keep up with them. Great support when having a question. Having the ability to track is amazing.

Cons

A couple of things would be to make it easier to forward the assessment to an applicant who has brought in their application and the applicant is not able to use their phones to fill the assessment out.

### "Overall pretty good"

May 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's capabilities and ease of use in communicating with applicants. I especially like the template feature so that I don't need to write out repetitive e-mails to multiple candidates. I also like the ability to add notes.

Cons

That the separation btwn recruit and onboarding is too defined causing too much work to go back & forth between them sometimes. I also don't like that you can't move a candidate from onboarding back to recruiting. I wish there was an column option on the candidates page to show hours available to work.

### "ApplicantStack for small company"

October 3, 2016

4.0

I work with clients to help them with recruiting and other HR needs, and have worked within ApplicantStack through one of my clients. ApplicantStack is a good, simple solution for small businesses.

Pros

I like the ability to create custom work flows as well as candidate scoring and Boolean search options. This system is very efficient for the cost in comparison to other ATS's I've interacted with. I also like that it is easy to show history and communicate through this system.

Cons

As far as I can tell, complete OFCCP compliance either isn't available or is only available with a larger plan. With the smaller plan you only get 1 admin and up to 5 hiring managers, but many small companies can make due with that since you can switch the users as needed.
