Pros

“Applicant Stack is an enjoyable tool that alerts me when I have a new candidate and provides me with their availability, work history, and resume all in one spot.”
AM

ANGELA M.

Leadership

“It’s a reliable tool for managing the hiring process, offering helpful features like customizable workflows and seamless candidate communication.”
VF

Violet F.

Field marketing coordinator

“Makes a huge difference in efficiency and communication within the team with the transparent notes section, so we can track the entire process with each candidate.”
KK

Kimberly K.

CEO and Founder

Pros

“The interface is intuitive, well-organized, and makes HR processes much simpler on a daily basis, especially tasks like employee management, time-off tracking, and onboarding.”
TR

Tamires R.

Payroll analyst

“It helped streamline administrative processes and provided a good experience for both employees and administrators. While there is room for improvement in advanced customization and reporting, I found BambooHR to be a reliable and user-friendly HR solution that meets the needs of most small to medium-sized organizations.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Shruti D.

Regulatory Manager

“It simplifies daily administrative tasks like checking vacation balances and submitting feedback. While the user experience is generally positive, resolving the stability of the org chart and adding an "auto-save" or longer session duration for feedback forms would make it much better.”
SG

Santiago G.

Product Manager

Cons

“I didn't like the fact that ApplicantStack doesn't have a reference check program or a vendor partner (like Harver).”
EH

Elizabeth H.

Payroll and Accounting

“The fact that some of the pre-built templates have few modification choices makes it difficult to completely customize the system to meet unique demands, which is one feature of ApplicantStack that I liked least.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Lea C.

Talent Acquisition Specialist

“Would like to be able to delete job postings that are no longer relevant”
LL

Leslie L.

Client Care and Intake Coordinator

Cons

“Administrative control is also hampered by overly restrictive user permissions that prevent granular access for managers, while the Applicant Tracking System lacks the automated communication workflows necessary for high-volume recruitment. While the interface is user-friendly for basic HR tasks, these limitations create bottlenecks for growing teams with sophisticated operational requirements.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Marquita V.

SALES MANAGER

“Also, for new hire paperwork, it is difficult to parse the forms and then there are glitches when new hires fill out the forms (also it doesn't work right on the app, so they are forced to use a computer to fill out the forms)”
LF

Laura F.

HR Associate

“The inability to view time off requests on the same page as the time card made it very difficult to get a good overview of time needs without constantly changing screens.”
LH

LuAnne H.
