### "A Must For Small Businesses"

October 17, 2013

5.0

I researched a number of applicant tracking platforms about two years ago. We were a start up who was looking for something that could keep up with our rapid growth, yet wasn't going to break the bank. Applicant Stack has done 90% of what we needed for a fraction of the cost. Their customer service is second to none. I would highly recommend purchasing Applicant Stack if you're currently trying to do without a formal system or are spending far too much on a platform that has capabilities that just aren't necessary for companies under 500 employees.

### "Best Online Applicant Tracking and Hiring"

February 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

The system is easy to use and with almost complete tools needed in tracking and hiring applicants. The system offer trial account before decided to subscribe with a minimal cost and no contract.

Cons

With an option to post the job to 3rd party job boards and social media, you will expect a lots of applicants to show interest. Proper management is important not to missout qualified candidate.

### "user friendly "

May 25, 2018

4.0

Having all the candidates in one place. It's easy to manage and receive feedback. Plus you can get a lot of information.

Pros

Different stages and being able to input into Clear Care. Before we were unable to move the person to Clear Care, thank you for the change

Cons

Every time I have a question, I need to email instead of just calling and getting a live person, I wish we could have a customer service number

### "Best Value!"

March 5, 2010

5.0

Highly recommend to anyone processing a lot of applicants. Makes my job so much easier.

Pros

Very feature rich! So easy to use. I've looked at programs designed for big corporate conglomerates that require thousands of dollars in up front investment. This program provides the same technology on a smaller scale at an affordable price. Just right for a small to medium sized business!

Cons

I have found no cons yet. Very feature rich and easy to use.

### "First Use"

February 2, 2010

4.0

Seems like a great system and is supported by good people who are responsive and helpful. I'm sure that future versions will include more robust layout options on the user side that don't require additional customization.

Pros

The system was easy to set up and customer service was excellent.

Cons

The contraints placed by the system such as limiting the layout of the application were frustrating. It would be nice to be able do something more than a simple linear/vertical layout.

May 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

Helps me organize and save time onboarding applicants and employees. Great customer service. Straightforward and easy to use

### "Would like phone support!"

October 12, 2018

3.0

I am new to the program. I have emailed support, all I got was response emails directing me to areas that I can't find and since I'm not familiar with the program, I feel like I am going in circles. When I requested a phone call, I was told they don't do talk support. Because the system makes little sense to me, I don't feel I use it to it's capabilities and therefore can't give it a great review.

Pros

I like that it puts our ads on major job search websites.

Cons

Only offers email support and is somewhat time consuming for me.

Hi Stacey! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack. We handle most of our support through the support portal and do not provide phone support for technical issues since tickets sometimes require input from other team members. We do offer an extensive help center including videos. We also provide weekly training sessions which I would like to encourage you to attend. I do understand your frustration. I am forwarding your review to your account manager. Your success in using ApplicantStack is of the utmost importance to us. Someone will be reaching out to you shortly.

March 18, 2016

5.0

Pros

Always trying to make everything easier and a lot smoother prose for both sides of the spectrum. With the new update applicants can go thought

Cons

The only thing I can think of is something small and that is how you can't delete emails. This is not really an issue.

It has allowed my company ad's self hire new staff quickly ad's efficiently at last minute; I had to hire more than 5 staff in a 2 months time.

Pros

It's very simple for any user and our applicant; ready and easy to print documents and or read answers to questionnaires; reader friendly

Cons

Seems to be a lot of information on the web pages; could be better with bold points or main topics.

### "Solved our recruitment problems"

June 3, 2010

4.0

I would recommend this product to small to medium companies who have constant recruitment needs.

Pros

Applicantstack was much more cost effective than hiring a recruitment firm of using an online recruiting site. It allows for sufficient flexibility to guarantee the same results.

Cons

I wish if it offered more control over the job board where I could change the welcome message at will or set-up actual departments on the job board.

Pros

Simple enough to navigate, good features and makes the overall process for applicants more efficient. This will pay off in the long term

Cons

We had a hard time with the reporting part. There are good features to add fields and remove others, however we experienced some technical difficulty and had to work with the tech team to resolve it. Was relatively painless
