ApplicantStack

Effective Hiring Instrument with Potential for Customization Enhancements

I've had a good overall experience with ApplicantStack. The technology has greatly expedited the hiring process by streamlining the administration of job ads, tracking of applications, and communication between hiring teams and candidates. Time has been saved and manual labor has decreased because to its user-friendly interface and automation features. Still, there are certain things that might be done better, including making the reporting tools more user-friendly and offering more customization possibilities. ApplicantStack has shown to be a useful tool in the hiring process, leading to more effective and coordinated recruiting, despite these little limitations.

Look no further than ApplicantStack!!!

I've had the pleasure of using ApplicantStack across multiple employers, and it has consistently proven to be an invaluable tool in streamlining our recruitment process.

The platform's integration with job boards like Indeed, Google Jobs, and Glassdoor is seamless, allowing me to manage both internal and external job postings with just a few clicks which has significantly reduced the time I spend on administrative tasks.

The use of templates in ApplicantStack ensures that candidates receive consistent communication and are kept informed about the status of their applications PLUS it saves me the time of writing the same communications over and over. This feature has garnered positive feedback from many candidates, who appreciate the transparency and efficiency of the process and said this has stood out amongst other employers they've applied to.

One of the best features for me is the ability to use screening questions WITH scoring to quickly sort through applications and identify the most qualified candidates with highest scores. This helps me present top candidates to hiring managers quickly and then I continue sorting through the rest. I do personally review all applications so we do not fall into any sticky AI discrimination compliance issues but this allows me to target most qualified candidates first.

The platform is also very user-friendly, both for HR professionals and candidates. While we currently don't allow managers direct access to the system due to our size, I can see how this feature would be incredibly useful for larger organizations, further streamlining the hiring process. Plus there are features we don't even use like interview forms, tasks, etc. (which would really come into play if there were more users or spread out geographical locations vs they can just come to my office or vice versa).

Additionally, the ability to text candidates directly through the platform—without using my personal phone—has been a game-changer for maintaining work-life balance and ensuring all communication is recorded in the application history.

Overall, ApplicantStack has been a fantastic tool, with excellent customer support whenever needed. If I HAD to come up with a negative (and it's really not), it is that the platform is highly customizable, so the initial setup and configuration can require some trial and error and extra time setting up templates, workflows, etc. However, this is a small price to pay for the ability to tailor the system to fit our exact needs. I highly recommend ApplicantStack for its robust features, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness.

You get what you pay for

Not good. Have had some costly occurrences because of lack of timely support and beneficial training.

Care To Stay Home

It has been good. I have not spoken to our assigned rep since we signed up so that would have been nice.

A great applicant tracker with added benefits.

We love that we can place an ad and it post to other boards with a few clicks.
