ApplicantStack

"Very user friendly! I've worked in several different ATS and this has been the easiest one yet!"

Vantagens: 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.

Desvantagens: 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).

"My review"

Comentários: 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.

Vantagens: I like how it can send the applicant the on-boarding paperwork and everything is completed on line.
I like the texting feature

Desvantagens: 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)

"A little clunky, but better than previous/current systems in use"

Comentários: ApplicantStack helped centralize and streamline our previous process for receiving and reviewing applications. Though we did not receive much training on the platform, it is intuitive enough to learn the basics needed pretty quickly. Being notified of each application received helped gauge the popularity and breadth of applicants, as well as anticipated workload for reviewing those applications. Being able to quickly change the status of an applicant and filter types of applications was also a huge help in sorting through months worth of applicants.

Vantagens: Now that our org has transitioned to a different platform, these are what I miss about ApplicantStack:
Ease of creating, editing, and posting a listing, and the breadth of platforms it can be shared to with just a few clicks.
Email notifications for each submitted application.
Ability to review application materials without downloading.
Ease of changing applicant statuses, with or without notes, and sorting applicants by these statuses.
Being able to keep listings open longterm when hiring for multiple positions over time (i.e. teachers)

Desvantagens: Inability for applicants to upload multiple documents was a consistent issue for many people submitting to our positions.

"ApplicantStack review from a user"

Comentários: For day to day and because I've only used this program, it works. Pulling/finding/creating reports is incredibly frustrating. Searching for individuals can often be frustrating. If I found a program that had more ease for things that were more behind the scenes, I might be tempted to try it.

Vantagens: For the most part I like that information on each client/caregiver is located in one place that is easy to access. I like that it is fairly organized.

Desvantagens: The client/caregiver search bar is horrible - sometimes I type in the exact name and nothing appears. Sometimes I type in the whole first or last name and nothing appears and then I have to go to the CAREGiver or client tab to find who I am looking for. Once clients and caregivers are deactivated they shouldn't come up on the search bar when only active is selected. Running reports overall is difficult and not user friendly. The system doesn't send out alerts to caregivers on a regular basis as requested - it's hit and miss. If a caregiver is marked as unavailable for a shift at some point on the future calendar and you assign a new reoccurring client, it doesn't alert you to the unavailable shift and thus schedules the caregiver to the client. Often times the program runs incredibly slowly. Reports don't always import into Excel properly. I can't purge my system of client/caregiver entries that are not relevant, so they clutter my search feed. There is no report for client contacts - this is inconvenient in an emergency setting.

"Easy to use, great functionality"

Comentários: We have used ApplicantStack for about 5 years and it has been very effective in managing thousands of applications.

Vantagens: Easy to classify and manage a large database of applications. It is also nice that it deploys a job posting to major job boards.

Desvantagens: It is inconvenient that you can't search key words in the application form. Only the resume is searchable.
