What is ApplicantStack?

ApplicantStack provides end-to-end hiring/onboarding automation for fast, large-scale hiring. Track hundreds of applications and resumes for multiple positions simultaneously. New hires can complete paperless onboarding on their mobile devices.

Key benefits of using ApplicantStack

* Create customized postings from scratch or use templates to build your own library of job descriptions for all of your positions. Use a single signon for multiple job board accounts. Post jobs to your company website via your public job board, branded by us to look like you.

* Build custom pre-screening questionnaires with weighted scoring, knock-out questions, and points for resume keywords. ApplicantStack calculates the scores for easy comparison.

* All applications flow into ApplicantStack, regardless of where the candidate applied from. Use Boolean searches for resume skills keywords, geographic location, commuting radius, etc.

* Sort by any candidate field including application date, average score, or average feedback. Reduce hiring time by 20% or more while screening and assessing thoroughly and accurately. Create more diverse and talented teams.

* Collaborate with your hiring team using candidate scorecards, task reminders, and interview scheduling with Office 365 or Google Calendar integration.

* Keep top talent engaged and moving through the process quickly with texting, text-to-apply stage change auto-emails, and interview self-scheduling.

* Run pre-built or ad hoc reports. Compare the performance of job boards, social media sites, careers page, and niche job boards.

* Once your top applicant is hired, proceed to paperless onboarding without delay—no manual data entry! New hires access the new employee onboarding portal with a mobile device and e-sign and submit all tax forms and paperwork electronically BEFORE their first day at work.

* Get the best talent in the door quickly and at the lowest cost. Spend your time on the personal recruiting element instead of endless paperwork.

Pros
I love that this software is so easily to use. I have used some other software's at previous employers that were not as user friendly and ApplicantStack has been so much better.
I love how easily it is to pull employees information, how perfectly the communication goes- it is an easy workflow. I do enjoy how easy the reports are to pull as well.
I appreciate that the customer service is always fast and responsive to help new users. I received little training on how to use this tool and I've needed to seek out help from them many times.
Cons
I can't purge my system of client/caregiver entries that are not relevant, so they clutter my search feed. There is no report for client contacts - this is inconvenient in an emergency setting.
The biggest complaint that we have is that there is only one administrator allowed.
We have alot of the emails go into candidates spam or told they did not receive it.

User-Friendly Software, Great Support Staff!

Reviewed 5 years ago

I've really enjoyed working with ApplicantStack. We're a seasonal business, and I requested a feature involving reference forms in 2013, and they said they would have it ready by the time I was ready to start hiring in 2014, and they did! The support team is really great. I've worked with a lot of the same folks over the years, which really helps when they know and understand your business and your specific needs.

Pros

ApplicantStack is really easy to learn. The cost was what really drew us in 6 years ago, and the price is still the same -- even with all the new features that are regularly added!

Cons

There are a few functions that other major ATS systems use that ApplicantStack does not have, but the benefits of those other ATS systems certainly don't outweigh the cost. A few things I would love to see: Paychex Integration, the ability to text applicants, and some "logic": I'd like folks to be able to answer a few questions before being directed to the correct application.

Cons

It is a little confusing when trying to post a new job listing.

users, rights, printing, accounts, licenses, different company locations

Reviewed 5 years ago

I have had to learn on my own most of what I know. We have had this program for a bout a year and it to me is not super user friendly mainly because we never had any training and our hands our tied with some of the features. I don't know if we didn't buy everything or if we don't have the permissions. My IT guy has tried to give me all the rights he can and its still not working. I don't think that is a good idea that only one location has access to things that I need here at my location. How can we get the proper rights? Can we buy another license? Is there a way that each location can have their own program and questions?

Pros

I like that the program allows us to make our own questions and we can e mail applicants directly from the program.

Cons

I do not like that applicant's get lost or locked out easily. When I transfer an employee sometimes they get lost. I have to call the corporate office to find the new employee and they have to re set them before I can move on. Also we have 6 locations and for some reason we are only allowed to have 4 administrators. I do the hiring here and I do not have the capability to print or edit forms once they...

Hr director with 15 years of experience with ATS systems

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall the beat ATS system I’ve experienced. Hands down

Pros

The ease of functionality and use, and the integration with other software. Although I would love for it to integrate with Isolved.

Cons

No text app to correspond via text. There are other systems that use this and it is vital you get this function.

Vendor response

Hi Nicolas! Thank you for the review. I will forward your information along to our product team.

Great they're awesome. We switched to ADP and it was horrible. We decided to switch back to Applicant Stack

Pros

I love that I can easily choose where i want to place a position

Cons

I don't like that I can't choose how to filter things. Example is not being able to see the facility name when a candidate applied
