Considered Both Products
ApplicantPro
Chose ApplicantPro
I used Indeed.com at a former employer with similar success to ApplicantPro. Only about 10% of applicants have been qualified for the positions I've posted. I've had better luck with recruiters. While they cost more, the applicants they find are qualified and have proven to be …
Chose ApplicantPro
Applicant Pro has been the ATS I have used for several years. Not sure I want to use another ATS.
Chose ApplicantPro
We tried using BambooHR's built in job applications. It didn't post to near as many job sites and that is why we switched.
Chose ApplicantPro
These two systems are similar in that they track applicants, can store offers, automate email responses and allow easy job posting. I think that PeopleSoft is a little more advanced and has more overall options/safeguards, where as ApplicantPro is still in a learning phase both …
Chose ApplicantPro
ApplicantPro is super user friendly and pushes out to many free job sites. ApplicantPro is also easy to train managers on and the interface makes it easy to review applications quickly.
Chose ApplicantPro
We are just implementing UltiPro. It has an ATS module and does a lot of things equally well and some better. Applicant Pro is probably half the cost. Also, UltiPro requires an account with eQuest to post to state job boards and local job boards, this is an added cost. It …
Chose ApplicantPro
ApplicantPro was the software the company was using when I got into the business. It was very easy to learn and I pick up on it fast. It has been one of the only software that has been so easy to learn. We recently switched over to Icims talent tracking software and it was much …
JobAdder
Chose JobAdder
Many of the products we have evaluated are not available on the list. We've looked at Mindscope Cura, we've used Mindscope (before Cura), we were long-time users of Sendouts (before Bullhorn acquisition), and we were on a product called Compas for a few years before moving to …
Chose JobAdder
PCRecruiter was our original choice for a software company to use because of the price and multiple reviews. However, when it comes to accessibility, JobAdder is the clear winner. While it may not be as customizable as some of the other companies out there, it is easy to use …

Likelihood to Recommend
I would have thought ApplicantPro would be good for lower level positions such as accounting clerks; however, I have not had much luck finding qualified applicants for these positions through ApplicantPro. I'm not sure if this has to do with a software or the current state of affairs in the US with COVID-19.

Cons
  • While Applicant Pro interfaces with many HRIS platforms to streamline onboarding, unfortunately this option is not available for us (though I'm not sure if that's Applicant Pro's fault or our HRIS provider's fault).
Read full review
  • The reporting module is limited and lacks depth.
  • There’s a lack of candidate self-service features, like portals where applicants can update their profiles, upload documents, or track application progress.
  • Automation is basic compared to competitors like Bullhorn or Vincere.
