Independent research methodology

Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

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.”

ANGELA M.

Leadership

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

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.”

Kimberly K.

CEO and Founder

Pros

“It gives me a resume scanning and scoring method.”

Chandan C.

Global Director

“While the system is fairly intuitive to use it is no longer one of the big job boards that candidates use when they think about a job.”

Terry D.

HRD

“Monster+ has lead our clinic to hiring at least two of our employees (which out of 10, is a high percentage).”

Leanna M.

MT-BC, NMT-F, CTD

Cons

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

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.”
