### "Applicant Stack is worth its price"

December 6, 2016

4.0

We reviewed Applicant Stack and considered taking advantage if the free trial but decided its simplicity of features, functionality and process was too simple for our needs. If you simply need a database and have time to personally configure/customize the process or willing to pay a $300 service fee for set-up support. It appears the software is due for an upgrade, appearing clunky and a generic, dull, unvarnished candidate appearance (jobs listing and career page).

### "Applicant Stack is a Process Winner"

February 14, 2015

5.0

We have been using Applicant Stack to manage our hiring process for about 6 months now and it has helped us turn a chaotic mess into a streamlined, organized, efficient process that is easy to manage. The integration with major job boards is a huge help and the service we have received has been top notch. They were even able to integrate the platform with our existing website with almost zero involvement on our end. I would highly recommend this platform and company to help take your hiring process to another level.

### "The application process is much more efficient now."

March 18, 2016

5.0

Pros

The ease of listing the job in multiple places. I also like how the actual application is handled online.

Cons

I have found that the assessment results aren't always indicative of the performance of the applicant. I have hired a few applicants that had poor assessments and they turned out to be really good employees.

The various ways to view applicants including sorting by job posting instead of only looking at a master list.

October 17, 2018

5.0

ApplicantStack is allowing me the flexibility to post openings quickly and easily to multiple sites. It's also very simple to manage the entire process and myriad stages of the search using the software.

Pros

Ease of use, templates are intuitive, lots of options loaded in the software.

Cons

It isn't apparent what permissions are allowed with each level of user. I'd like to see that more clearly stated and scalable.

March 21, 2016

4.5

Pros

I like that everything is organized and online. Great alternative to paper applications!

Cons

There are some things I wish I could customize, but for the most part that has more to do with home office than it does applicantstack. I also wish there was a way to do folders for duplicate applicants

### "A little clunky, but better than previous/current systems in use"

February 25, 2021

4.0

ApplicantStack helped centralize and streamline our previous process for receiving and reviewing applications. Though we did not receive much training on the platform, it is intuitive enough to learn the basics needed pretty quickly. Being notified of each application received helped gauge the popularity and breadth of applicants, as well as anticipated workload for reviewing those applications. Being able to quickly change the status of an applicant and filter types of applications was also a huge help in sorting through months worth of applicants.

Pros

Now that our org has transitioned to a different platform, these are what I miss about ApplicantStack: Ease of creating, editing, and posting a listing, and the breadth of platforms it can be shared to with just a few clicks. Email notifications for each submitted application. Ability to review application materials without downloading. Ease of changing applicant statuses, with or without notes, and sorting applicants by these statuses. Being able to keep listings open longterm when hiring for multiple positions over time (i.e. teachers)

Cons

Inability for applicants to upload multiple documents was a consistent issue for many people submitting to our positions.

December 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

This software is great hiring tool for a small company or organization. Easy to use and mobile optimized with an intuitive navigation features.

Cons

It would be great to have more menus and drop-down features. In addition, adding label and image components on questionnaire will be great too.

### "Good for managing candidates in the hiring process through multiple layers of an organization."

May 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

Shows everyone involved in the hiring process where each candidate is at in the process and alerts me when a candidates status has changed.

Cons

Would like to be able to see candidates grouped together as part of each position. In other words, I would like to click on that open position and only see candidates for that position. Right now all of the candidates are grouped together and gives a greater potential for confusing candidates.

Pros

I like: receiving email notifications when individuals apply, the ability to add comments and questionnaires into an applicant's file at each stage, and the ability to view the resume in multiple formats

I never use the emails, tasks, or events tabs. I only access these sections from within each individual candidates' files.

I highly recommend this ApplicantStack to anyone currently operating an education business.

Pros

Great human resources tool for processing and screening job applications. The program is very simple to use and covers so many multifunctional tasks relating to running a human resources department in an education company or higher education institution. This program should serve as an asset in education businesses of the future.

Cons

No cons at this time.
