ApplicantStack Reviews
Very user friendly! I've worked in several different ATS and this has been the easiest one...
My review
we used to use Applicant Pro and it was so much more user friendly. We switched because Applicant Stack would incorporate with ADP, but we have NEVER been able to get it to bring over the information we need.
Easy to use, great functionality
We have used ApplicantStack for about 5 years and it has been very effective in managing thousands of applications.
Bang for Buck
In general, the software fits in the "Best Bang for your Buck" category. It allows your company to maintain most compliance aspects, stay organized, and operate competitively with larger organizations with minimal costs. The monthly operating costs are insanely cheap compared to the absurdly expensive options like Taleo, SilkRoad, iCIMS, ADP ATS, etc. You get 90% functionality for 10% of the cost, it literally is that big of a difference in cost. Some options like Taleo, I would even say ApplicantStack offers features that are better, evening out the playing field. My HR department cut our ATS annual costs at one company from $26,000 to $3000. Some smaller to mid-sized companies that are using expensive options like Taleo simply because they don't know any better and it has been in the HR industry for so long should seriously consider migrating to save costs and actually provide a better product. Yes, migration hurts and is a pain, but this is a longterm investment to reduce overhead. For startups, this is a no-brainer.

Very user friendly! I've worked in several different ATS and this has been the easiest one yet!
Pros
It's very easy to use and is step-by-step throughout the entire process. Their customer service is very helpful and accommodates most all requests we have asked for. I love the email templates with mail merge features, the flags we are able to customize, and that you can trigger automatic emails throughout the stages.
Cons
I wish it was easier to add pictures, embed videos, links, etc. It's also not user friendly on the reporting side. I'd like to be able to have more functionality to pull different reports. For example, I would like to have a report for jobs that we are still currently recruiting for (still actively trying to find a candidate). I don't necessarily want to see all "open" jobs because in ApplicantStack, they remain open until the job is "closed/filled". I do not want to see jobs that have a candidate that has already accepted an offer and is in the background or pending start stage. Unfortunately for now, it's a manual process of my recruiters reviewing over their "active recruiting" jobs and sending me weekly update reports by email. We are also still working out the ability to integrate with ADP (our HRIS system).
Response from ApplicantStack
Hi Meagan!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack.
I will forward your feedback to our development team. We take feedback very seriously.
Also, I would suggest contacting support on how you can add pictures, embed videos, and add links using our formatting tools.
Changing your filters to show inactive jobs might also help with your concern about seeing open vs. closed jobs.
My review
we used to use Applicant Pro and it was so much more user friendly. We switched because Applicant Stack would incorporate with ADP, but we have NEVER been able to get it to bring over the information we need.
Pros
I like how it can send the applicant the on-boarding paperwork and everything is completed on line.
I like the texting feature
Cons
It only posts our job postings to 5 sites. this is not enough
It takes forever to download the on-boarding paperwork (usually around 20 minutes)
Response from SwipeClock
Hi Julie!
Thank you for writing a review about ApplicantStack.
We have many job boards built into ApplicantStack. Perhaps some of them are not activated. Also, we are continually adding more job boards as requested. Please let us know which ones you are interested in. I also want to point out the manual posting links, so you are not limited to our integrated job boards. The possibilities are endless!
Please contact support so we can get more information from you about the issue you are experiencing.
Easy to use, great functionality
We have used ApplicantStack for about 5 years and it has been very effective in managing thousands of applications.
Pros
Easy to classify and manage a large database of applications. It is also nice that it deploys a job posting to major job boards.
Cons
It is inconvenient that you can't search key words in the application form. Only the resume is searchable.

Pros
As an applicant tracking and onboarding software, it does its job relatively glitch free. For the price, you can maintain most major aspects of compliance without spending an arm and a leg for each additional user. This is great for a smaller company. In many ways, it is even better than some of the competition that many larger companies are using because of the "name" attached, such as ADP, Taleo, etc. It is easy to use and mobile optimized from the start, something some of the big names can't say. Most of the navigation features are intuitive.
Cons
Integration with other software, such as ADP payroll, Deltek, etc., is lacking or non-existant. As your company grows in size, you start to see its limitations because they don't cater to larger companies. Also, one of the ways that Applicantstack cuts overhead costs and keeps cost low to the customer is by limiting features. There are some customization features that competitors offer that are just flat out impossible to do in this suite. There are also some quirks in how the software operates that can be frustrating.
Response from ApplicantStack
Hi!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review about ApplicantStack.
We do offer an integration with many other products such as ADP. Our development team is also continually adding new integrations.
I do want to point out that we also offer an open API for use with any integration. If you are looking for something specific, I would suggest you reach out to our support team. If we don't currently have it then we submit to our development team. We really do listen to our customers! Similarly, if you are looking for a particular feature, let us know! We are here to help!
Mobile App Inquiry
Pros
I use for the ease of use and I am familiar with the product as I have used in the past.
Cons
I was told that there is a mobile app available, but have not been able to find it? Is there a mobile app?
