The Applicant Manager Reviews & Product Details

The Applicant Manager (TAM) is a cloud-based applicant tracking solution that helps recruiting agencies and teams to streamline their hiring and onboarding process. The solution lets users track job postings and actively engage quality candidates. TAM provides toolsets that allow recruiters to review, select and share applicant information within teams. TAM allows posting job details on multiple free and paid job boards such as Indeed, GlassDoor, Monster and more. Agencies can also link their social media channels such as Facebook and LinkedIn with TAM for posting job updates on these channels. Recruiters can configure rules for screening and pre-screening applications to automatically remove under-qualified applicants or duplicate entries. TAM provides advanced search features to search or filter applicants by using keywords, ratings, skills, tags or a combination of these. TAM integrates with major email service providers such as Gmail and Outlook for centralizing contact and communication details. With TAM, recruiters can collect and store confidential applicant data including EEO, disability, and VETs details to comply with OFCCP regulations. The onboarding module allows users to design and share the onboarding process with new joiners. The solution can be accessed using web browsers of any internet enabled device including smartphones.

"User Friendly ATS"

5/5

What do you like best about The Applicant Manager?

I have been a TAM user for nearly 5 years now and have been very pleased with this ATS. TAM is a well organized, efficient and reliable platform which makes for a streamlined recruitment process. It is easy to post to multiple job boards in one quick step which is a definite time saver. You can customize in accordance with the specific needs of the organization. Also, customer service is helpful if you have any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Applicant Manager?

Given that our hiring is highly seasonal, it would be nice if it was possible to freeze the service during months when we are not hiring in order to save money. However, other than that I do not have any complaints at this moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The Applicant Manager:

I highly recommend TAM to anyone considering the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great recruiting software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about The Applicant Manager?

I really like the ease of use; it's very user friendly, also the job postings to free job boards and social media share functionality are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Applicant Manager?

The automated resume parsing doesn't always work properly, would like a better rating scale / system for the candidate evaluations (more than just a 5 star rating - possibly add categories), the ability to edit your notes would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about The Applicant Manager?

The format of TAM is very easy to navigate. It is to the point, and offers many features to assist you in your hiring process. My favorite thing about TAM is that when you post a position, you have the option to post on several job pages at once, as well as an automatic repost option, and instructions on how to post craigslist manually.

Hi Derria,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that you are pleased with TAM! As for job board posting - we can only do what the job boards allow us, but the ability to manually close and open positions is always yours. If there's a good faith reason to re-post sooner than 90 days, doing so manually once in a while is usually not a problem - but keep in mind it's up to you to comply with boards' anti-spam rules, so all reposts are "at your own risk" :). Again, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review!

"TAM can do it all"

4/5

What do you like best about The Applicant Manager?

What I like best about TAM is the customizable features. Onboarding through TAM has been super helpful, as has being able to send the background check through TAM and being able to view it as part of their applicant "profile." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Applicant Manager?

Something I dislike about TAM is the readability/organization of the site. Maybe it is just me, but the font always seems so small and crammed I can hardly read or find what I am looking for right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Applicant Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest benefit we have realized is being able to have everything about one applicant in one spot. Even incomplete and past applications. It is so convenient to be able to search one name (whether first or last name) and have everything you have from that person be visible right away. I like how you can customize the columns of what information shows when you are searching as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ok for Crowds- but Clunky"

1.5/5

What do you like best about The Applicant Manager?

The Applicant Manager's ability to track applicants who apply multiple times, and are blocked, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Applicant Manager?

The weekly or daily scheduling of interviews is just not user-friendly and looks awful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The Applicant Manager:

Substance over style sounds a bit too generous. It's clunky and ugly, but occasionally does get an otherwise daunting job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Applicant Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are trying to handle hundreds and hundreds of rolling applicants at a time. It does seem to handle volume well in an albeit hideous package, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"a great applicant management system"

3/5

What do you like best about The Applicant Manager?

I like the look and ease of use of the system. it is not over complicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Applicant Manager?

The roadblocks we encounter to make it operate effectively for our business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The Applicant Manager:

The reporting tool is one of the lowest points of the tool. If you are looking to have a system that is easy to use and figure out, this is great. For data collection, you may need outside assistance, as the built in reporting isnt great and could use work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Applicant Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am not in charge of problems, but we have noticed a lot of "glitches" as tam calls them which greatly impact our team and applicants Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very intuitive"

4/5

What do you like best about The Applicant Manager?

I like the flexibility of using a previous template to open a new job post. Being able to call support and they immediately fix the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Applicant Manager?

Cannot change some of the initial set up features, like department and company names. Trying to find an answer to a problem is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
