ApplicantStack Reviews

Pros

Its affordable for small-budget organizations making it an accessible option.

Cons

Ad hoc reporting is needed and there should be an option to print applications without all the attachments for a cleaner output.

Pros

Easy to navigate straightforward and efficient. Additionally enables tracking of candidate statuses.

Cons

Ive encountered a few minor glitches. I wish there were more info blocks available for candidates to provide specific details that our company might require.

It took me some time to grasp the setup and then focus on the sections that would be most beneficial to my needs.

Cons

Reports could be a bit more straightforward. Im struggling to generate documents for active employees only.

Pros

Starting with ApplicantStack was effortless. Despite having numerous features were not utilizing yet it didnt hinder our setup process. We could begin with the basics and gradually expand.

Cons

Honestly the main downside isnt with the Applicant Stack software but with our inability to integrate it with our current HCM platform.

Pros

I appreciate ApplicantStack for its simplicity in posting positions across multiple job boards.

Cons

I struggle to find correspondence sent to candidates. For instance when I take over recruiting for a position from another HR employee I havent figured out how to view the messages theyve already sent to candidates. I may need to contact the help desk about this.

Pros

The software is quite intuitive and my team appreciates the available report options.

Cons

The texting feature has its limitations and some kinks to work out. If we could send references to candidates via text and they could link to an online reference for feedback it would greatly improve the process.

Pros

A user-friendly product that aids in viewing applicant submissions.

Cons

It would be beneficial to filter applications based on specific qualifications.

Cons

It could be a bit more intuitive. While generally good I believe theres room for improvement.

Pros

Allows for OFCCP compliance and applicant tracking at a minimal cost.

Cons

Theres a lot of customization required to make this product work the way one needs it to. While not a deal-breaker it makes it challenging to use right out of the gate. Additionally I dislike that compensation data cant be hidden when asking other users to review candidates.

Cons

Insufficient information is gathered or implemented.

Pros

What stands out with ApplicantStack is the comprehensive applicant information available and the ease of emailing advancing stages and integration with other software for streamlining the hiring process. The supportive Account Manager adds to the positive experience.

Cons

Sometimes I find it challenging to use ApplicantStack because I wish it had more features. Ive suggested to our Account Manager that it would be beneficial to categorize differently or have separate tabs to classify candidates at different stages reducing the need to sift through a lot of information. It would also be helpful to filter out duplicates and applicants who were already denied moving forward.

Pros

Streamlined tracking of new hires advancing them for hire sending emails and monitoring correspondence.

Cons

Occasionally the resume tab reformats the persons resume. I prefer not to download everything but Ive found its better to download the resume than review the resume tab due to format changes.

A comprehensive solution for all hiring process needs.

Cons

None come to mind. Its been transformative.

Pros

Extremely intuitive consolidating everything in one accessible location.

Cons

It can be slow at times.
