ApplicantStack Reviews & Product Details

ApplicantStack has a very user-friendly interface. Since this is the first employee application system I have ever used, it was a huge relief for me to, after very little time, feel like I was able to navigate the interface with no concern. Also, I love the amount of customization ApplicantStack allows (eg: adjusting the work flow, adding new documents to Onboarding, changing email triggers, etc.). The ability to make adjustments that better suit your company's needs has been a huge benefit for our agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since the "Talent Pools Leads" report is something I keep an eye on a weekly basis, it would be nice to have the ability to add some sort of notation to an applicant's information. Mainly, it would be convenient to leave a note when I've reached out to the applicant. This way, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can do a LOT and new features are added regularly. Loving the integrations as well - our company recently integrated a background check service with ApplicantStack. The system is very versatile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be a bit more modernized and simplified in terms of interface. I do see some changes in that direction, keep it going!

Also, when candidates apply to multiple jobs, there should be an option, when you change their stage, to apply this to the other jobs as well. Sometimes they may be shortlisted for both positions, so instead of manually going in and changing for each job, it would be helpful to change stages for multiple jobs for the same candidate, in a single window. I submitted this feature request through the platform but not sure if it was received because I never heard back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product is highly flexible. You can build a very custom service out of this software but it is a bit more limited then many other enterprise options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This seems marketed to small organizations rather than enterprise level but the pricing is a bit steep for the limitations. For the $95 we are paying, and I think it has gone up since then, we are limited to only 1 administrator and 5 managers. The 5 managers is plenty but the 1 administrator is very limiting for the price point. Again, it is good software but I feel that price point is a bit high for their market demographic.

I like how well the software functions. I have not experienced any issues or glitches. Customer service is quick to respond and assist with anything you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I do not like about this software is it does not create one universal profile for candidates. Instead, the candidates profile is created based on a position. Meaning, this allows for duplicates of the candidates. So, if a candidate applies for multiple positions or has applied in the past, everything is on separate profiles. It will give you an icon by the candidates name notifying you there are duplicates, however you have to click on each individual duplicate to see the candidates history. It would be much more helpful if you could click on the history of the candidate and see all the positions they have applied for, the stage they're at in the hiring process for each position, any notes left from the recruiting team or HR team from past interviews or interactions and all communication with the candidate.

I like the ability to easily get sensitive information in a secure way. There are a lot of scammers out there and I want my new hires to feel confident that they can trust that their information is secure and protected. I also like that they can fill out and sign documents easily from their phones. I hire a lot of people remotely and getting paperwork done is always a pain. I also use this for acknowledgements of policies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they could sign with their fingers instead of creating a standard signature. The IP address capture is helpful but for some of my papers I still require a unique signature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot imagine going back to the days of paper applications. An entire section of my desk was dedicated to apps before making the transition. I saved so much room just by going digital. I also love that we then have a database of people who have applied before, so we don't waste time on people we will never have an interest in hiring. The onboarding side is also worth the investment. We can send onboarding paperwork before orientation to streamline the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had so many people call because they could not complete the app online. Once we eliminated the initial app in favor of a single screen of contact information, our completion rate nearly doubled. We still have them fill out the app online, but in our office where we can monitor for issues.

I would love to have integration with Office365 for scheduling interviews, but I'm satisfied manually pulling that information over to our main office calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way that I can take candidates from one stage to the next. I feel that I can save a lot of time and energy by managing the workflow through software and it is far less likely that applications will become lost on my desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really hard to say. I really enjoy applicant stack and use it daily for my recruiting. I have difficulty finding things to dislike about Applicant Stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Applicant stack is very user-friendly and intuitive. Our staff loves the ease with which we are able to create and assign forms. Applicant Stack has made our onboarding process much more efficient and effective. We are able to assign our external employees the majority of their onboarding documents before they even come in for new hire orientation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to be able to edit the PDF form within applicant stack instead of having to upload the new form and assign form fields each time your form is updated. It would also be great if applicant stack was compatible with other document types than just PDFs (such as Word, Google Docs, etc.). Lastly, if there was to track when annual documents were due for employees within the site, that would be beautiful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability for others in the workflow to edit things so that it is a collaborative effort. The ability to customize displays and make action items different for each stage is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much I dislike about the product. What I do dislike revolved primarily how my company has rolled it out, locking down setting options. In order to make the workflows within ApplicantStack work for my team, I have to ask for permission to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Applicant Stack is easy to use, we can do proper reporting, and save candidates for future use. Overall it saves time posting jobs and give us good visibility in the marketplace for our job posts. We no longer have to go site to site to post jobs. In many situations it is free to post. Its been a great addition to HR suite of products and we are glad that we found it.

Lack of folders to file candidates i. If we had folders it would be easier to keep the home screen clean . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
