ApplicantStack Reviews

“Very user-friendly and customizable

Pros

I really like how customizable it is. also the platform is very user-friendly, simple and their reporting features are quite solid too.

Cons

Their customer service could be better. They often take a while to respond and there have been instances where they did not have a solution for my issues.

“simple to use and efficient

Pros

applicantstack was simple to use and made managing candidates efficient and clear for our team.

Cons

There were not any major problems as everything worked as expected and met our recruiting needs.

“Completely lost access after canceling

Pros

Once everything was set up, it became very easy for us to use. I have nothing else to share when it comes to pros.

Cons

I noticed that once you cancel your subscription, you completely lose access to your past customer service history. Our office manager did not save the onboarding paperwork and despite my repeated attempts to retrieve it, I have not received any response or help from the company.

“sends candidate emails with one click

Pros

With just one click, it automatically sends emails to candidates and lets us move them through different hiring stages smoothly which is awesome.

Cons

The one thing I don't like about it is that I cannot keep comments on some candidates resumes once they have been reviewed.

“great for team collab on hiring

Pros

It keeps all our applicants perfectly organized, makes their details pretty easy to find and is very user-friendly for everyone on the team.

Cons

sometimes I get overwhelmed by the number of features and I struggle to find what I need.

“Pretty easy to use :)

Pros

This software is pretty easy to use and handles everything we need for managing applicants.

Cons

I honestly cannot think of anything I dislike. I love everything about it.

“makes my work so much easier

Pros

Having all the applications together in one place is really amazing as it makes the whole process so much easier for us to manage.

Cons

There was not anything to dislike as it worked exactly as promised.

“gets manager input in just clicks

Pros

This makes the back-and-forth with managers so much smoother. I can get their thoughts on applicants in just a couple of clicks

Cons

For now the recruiting team has not shared any feedback with me about what they dislike.

“incredibly simple and quick process

Pros

One thing I really like is that moving applicants through each stage of the hiring process is incredibly simple and quick.

Cons

I do not have any complaints. I absolutely love this app.

“Very easy to navigate!

Pros

Finding information is not a problem anymore as all the resumes and transcripts are always accessible.

Cons

To be honest, I have nothing to report as everything I need is readily available.

“saves time with smart auto-filtering

Pros

The system is very user friendly and does a great job of filtering out applicants who do not meet the basic job requirements which saves us a lot of time.

Cons

It would be great if we could delete job postings that are no longer relevant.

“simple tracking

Pros

It makes tracking applicants across all our different job positions really simple and efficient for our team.

Cons

at times tech support needs to help us with applicant configurations.

“smooth navigation and logical setup

Pros

Navigation is smooth and the system's setup is logical as with the help of it I have successfully hired many people using it.

Cons

I have no complaints. It is simply amazing. The only thing I can think of is that more companies should be encouraged to use this fantastic platform.

“affordable multi-site job posting

Pros

There are quite a lot of things to like but being able to post a single job listing to multiple sites at an affordable price is a huge plus and saves us so much time and effort.

Cons

It was challenging at first for us to learn how to use the platform without guidance from a representative.

“easy to navigate

Pros

The system is well-organized and easy to navigate so I always know exactly where to go to find the information I need.

Cons

downloading multiple files to view them in more detail or having to go back to the downloads folder can make it harder to quickly access specific documents.

“great for organizing candidates

Pros

This is a great tool for keeping all our candidates from different sources organized in one place.

Cons

The workflow and interface can be a bit confusing, especially for someone just starting out. also there is sometimes too much flexibility, with multiple ways to do the exact same task which can be overwhelming.

“Improved our hiring process

Pros

It is awesome having a single platform to track all my candidates and their current status in the hiring process. I also like how applicants are automatically removed when they answer key questions, saving so much time.

Cons

setting up was a bit tricky but once we completed the process, the platform became much easier to understand and use.

“easy access with quick support responses

Pros

applicantstack software is easy to access and we get quick responses whenever we have questions about the application. Plus I love how we can update the applicant's status so everyone stays informed throughout the hiring or deactivation stages.

Cons

The homepage shows the next step in the process instead of where the applicant currently is which confuses me a little at times.

“my perfect productivity companion

Pros

I really like having all the new hires details right at my fingertips. Overall applicant stack makes my day more productive and helps me work faster.

Cons

Well I am still searching for something I dislike but I honestly cannot think of anything. as it has been perfect for my needs.

“nearly perfect tool

Pros

To me the best part is how incredibly simple it is to navigate. also this system works perfectly for keeping track of everything both inside and outside our company.

Cons

I cannot really think of anything I don't like. The only thing that could make it even better would be adding a timestamp for when applicants apply.

“automated rejections save us tremendous time

Pros

What I love most about this software is how easily I can track the status of every application, whether is new, pending or from the past. The notes section and the different stage assignments make communicating with our team incredibly smooth. Plus the automated rejection emails save us a lot of time. They are also great because they let applicants know they might not be right for one job but could be a perfect fit for another role later on. Overall the whole system makes the hiring, interview and pre-screening process so efficient that even the candidates are impressed when they call us back. I can pull up all their information instantly which really shows a level of professionalism that makes our company stand out.

Cons

my only small suggestion is that it would be really helpful if there were a way to select a large group of applicants and send rejection letters for the same position all at once. This might already be a feature but I just have not figured out how to do it yet.

“Useful but has room to grow

Pros

It is fairly easy to use and I really like the resume feature. Plus I can see how many times someone has applied which is useful.

Cons

Right now I only get emails for complete applications. It would also be helpful to receive leads for inquiries that are not finished yet. another great feature would be a gender option on the application form. That way, I can properly address applicants with titles like mr. or ms. when they have gender-neutral names.

“Very user-friendly software

Pros

I'm a big fan of how they've set this up. It's not fancy or flashy. From the minute you start, you're not confused. everything is where you think it should be. It's one of the least frustrating systems I've ever had to learn, it basically has no learning curve, which is amazing

Cons

I did not face any issues while using it.

“huge time-saver, automatically groups applicants

Pros

Okay, so the best part is how it automatically groups all the applicants by the specific job opening. No more messy spreadsheets! Plus, you can set up a must-have question that automatically weeds out people who don't meet the basic criteria. It's seriously a huge time-saver and super easy to figure out.

Cons

The app does not group all applications from the same applicant into one profile which leads to duplicate applications. This makes it harder for us to rehire previous applicants.

“an all-in-one solution indeed

Pros

I love that this app lets you collect applications, message candidates and complete the onboarding process all in one place.

Cons

I noticed that the texting system has a few glitches like when you receive a message, it pops up multiple times like 5 to 10 times until you click off and back on.

“very easy to use and track emails

Pros

It was very easy to use and user friendly before the update. also I love that it keeps track of emails sent to candidates.

Cons

In the beginning I liked that it was a stand-alone platform but we eventually moved our applicant tracking over to our payroll system to make the onboarding process a lot easier and faster.

“Instant alerts for every application

Pros

I really like how it syncs with my email, so I get an instant notification whenever someone applies.

Cons

It would be helpful if it were easier to move a candidate through the different stages of each job.

“automatic postings save the day

Pros

This is a real game-changer. every job posting goes live on our site automatically, which cuts out a ton of manual work. It's a massive help.

Cons

Nothing much but it would be really nice if we could add more users to our account without having to pay an extra fee for each person.

“great organization tool

Pros

I am a really big fan of the new categories as they let me organize and move the Direct Care Workers around much more efficiently.

Cons

One thing I do not like that we cannot transfer some of the older applicants into the new buckets.

“Powerful features, eager for an update

Pros

The best part is how easy it is to use and the ability to communicate directly with candidates is a huge plus for me and my team.

Cons

There have not been any major issues but I would love to see an improved user interface/dashboard.

“Tracks everything for us

Pros

applicantstack is amazing because it tracks everything about an applicant from their applications and notes to all our emails. The texting and email functions are a total lifesaver and make the whole recruiting process so much smoother.

Cons

I had trouble finding multiple applications for the same person as they were not linked. One applicant had seven applications and each time I searched for her name, I had to figure out which one I was working with.

“easy, affordable and works great

Pros

It's simple to use and works well in various scenarios. We love that even if someone isn't familiar with online applications, we can offer a paper option, upload it, and still use the aTs system seamlessly. Plus, it's extremely affordable

Cons

at the moment I cannot think of anything that I dislike. It seems to do everything we need it to.

“makes it easy for us to send documents

Pros

I love that all the necessary onboarding documents can be easily sent to candidates and stored for future use. also with it, it is simple to transfer them to axis Care whenever we need them.

Cons

While the basic application information transfers to axis with ease, I wish the additional paperwork we send to applicants could also be moved over with just a click like the basic application.

“great tracking but notification overload occurs

Pros

as a recruiter, I love that I get instant updates whenever candidates make changes to their online applications. This keeps me completely in the loop and helps me stay on top of every application.

Cons

I don't need notifications for every single applicant update,just the ones related to the specific search or position I'm overseeing. a more targeted notification system would be really helpful.

“easy to find the best people

Pros

I find it really easy to use and the candidate screening process is absolutely top-notch. It helps us find the best people for the job quickly and efficiently.

Cons

The limited number of seats is a bit confusing. I do not understand why it's restricted.

“manual steps slow down our hiring process

Pros

sending onboarding documents and reviewing applicants is not a problem anymore thanks to applicantstack.

Cons

Umm process of moving an applicant from the interview stage to hiring and onboarding could be a lot smoother. Right now I sometimes have to manually place someone into the onboarding process which feels like an extra step. also the way applicants see the onboarding section especially the medical questionnaire and direct deposit form often confuses them. The layout is not as clear as it could be. and applicants don't always transfer over to Wellsky automatically and there is no clear explanation for why it happens. so some better error messages or tracking would really help.

“Fits our needs perfectly!!

Pros

The platform is pretty easy to use and offers great customization options that can fit a wide variety of our needs.

Cons

I cannot think of any cons. The platform is very easy to use and set up.

“wish I could add photos to profiles

Pros

This software helps me send out determination letters both efficiently and on time which keeps our entire hiring process running smoothly.

Cons

Well I wish I could upload pictures to applicants profiles to help me remember them better.

“easy to use but switching is slow

Pros

entering data is quick and easy. I have used many systems before but this one is user-friendly.

Cons

The transition to onboarding requires switching between different stages. In recruiting we are all about making things quicker and easier but this process sometimes slows me down.

“everything is in the right place

Pros

It is very well-organized, easy to navigate and incredibly user-friendly. In short everything is right where we want it to be.

Cons

I cannot think of anything specific that bothers me but it would be great to make changes more easily.

“a good price for a small business

Pros

For our small business, the initial cost was quite reasonable. and even though the price has risen over the years, it is still the most affordable option for us.

Cons

It is been absolutely perfect for what we need as there really are not any downsides at all!

“makes it simple to search and manage people

Pros

I find it really easy to use and maintain which makes searching for and managing candidates a whole lot smoother and faster.

Cons

I have no complaints because there is nothing I dislike.

“Has good info but sometimes glitches

Pros

applicantstack is pretty user-friendly and provides a lot of useful information right at our fingertips.

Cons

I have noticed quite a few technical issues that pop up from time to time.

“Likes getting new applicant alerts

Pros

Instant email notifications show up when someone applies and I love that I can directly email the candidate through the platform.

Cons

To be honest I don't have any issues with it right now. I am still fairly new to the platform.

“simple to use

Pros

It is really easy to find the information we need and to input new data quickly. Overall the whole system is very simple!

Cons

It would be great if I could forward information to external email addresses.

“fast alerts when new applicants appear

Pros

I love getting email alerts whenever a new applicant is available for my review.

Cons

The process of updating someones status takes more manual effort than I'd like.

“simple but searching names is hard

Pros

applicantstack software is simple to use and I like that all the information is neatly organized in one place.

Cons

To be honest I did not like the candidate search feature as it is not the best because it does not let us search with just a few letters of a name. You have to type the whole thing out which can slow you down.

“Needs a spam filter

Pros

The candidate's information is laid out just like a resume which makes it very easy to review and understand their qualifications at a glance.

Cons

It seems to me that there is not a spam filter to catch false applicants.

“great for notes and talking to the team

Pros

I can efficiently manage the process, track communication and keep the team updated with detailed notes.

Cons

The filter options are a bit confusing and it can sometimes be hard to find what I am looking for.

“smooth review feature

Pros

Well I am really impressed with features like the review candidate option as it makes the whole process so much smoother and more efficient.

Cons

I feel like it would be great to see the managers decision when candidates are moved to their review stage.
