Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ApplicantStack is currently our only applicant tracking system being utilized. We have the job posting page on our company website that has new prospective employees apply to our site through the ApplicantStack created application. We use this system for all incoming applications as well as for contacting prospective employees through the email and/or text features. We also use ApplicantStack for posting and sponsoring our jobs on Indeed.

Pros

Applicant tracking
Texting feature
prequalifying questions added to job application
Storing and sorting applicants

Cons

functionality with indeed is lacking.
Would be useful if they updated their indeed sponsoring function as this seems to rarely work as intended.
Having the ability to easily update a job posting on Indeed without needing to completely recreate the post all over again.

Likelihood to Recommend

ApplicantStack is great for applicant tracking as well as the ability to completely customize your application. If you are using ApplicantStack for posting to indeed as well, this is where it gets tricky. I have gone back to posting on Indeed through our corporate account as opposed to using the ApplicantStack function due to the fact that it is so much more of a headache trying to figure out how to sponsor the job with the correct budget amount, and getting the postings to go live, and update as needed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization uses ApplicantStack as a recruiting platform, as well as an Applicant Tracking System. We use it to integrate our job postings with our company's career page in real time, and to post jobs to multiple job boards. Candidates will apply via Applicantstack and are managed in the platform throughout the recruiting cycle.

Pros

Posting jobs to several of the major job board simultaneously.
Managing candidate pipeline effectively.

Cons

Could have additional choices of what job boards you can post to.
Ability to integrate to more ATS systems and Social Media Platforms.

Likelihood to Recommend

I feel ApplicantStack is well suited for small to medium sized organizations. It is not likely to be compared to some of the major ATS systems out there, where they can be used for multiple functions other than recruitment and candidate tracking (i.e. benefits administration, payroll, commissions, attendance, etc.).

As a quick and easy recruiting platform ApplicantStack is my go-to. Great way to store resumes and match with current and future requisitions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I currently use ApplicantStack while supporting multiple clients. Some of my clients use it departmentally in addition to another vendor, and some fully for all roles. ApplicantStack offers a very user-friendly platform to manage candidates in the recruitment process and communicate with candidates. It also provides customized reporting and export options for all data stored within the system.

Pros

Customized reporting
Customized workflow
Email triggers
Customized URLs apply links to track the source of candidates, with scraping capabilities for Indeed, LinkedIn and social platforms
Customized screening questions with scoring functionality

Cons

Customized API export
More transparency with their technology roadmap
Full CRM capabilities
Talent Networks capabilities

Likelihood to Recommend

Small to mid-size companies. Active ATS users to update candidate progress in real time. You have the option for candidates to apply through a URL, or to forward them/upload them into the ATS. Highly recommend for companies that need an ATS on a budget to manage candidates and move away from inbox management.

Alternatives

Customization of all aspects of the job board/posting that the candidate sees.

ApplicantStack, a high value alternative in the recruitment and onboarding process

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Creating a digital workflow for the new hire process has become a requirement for most companies. The ability to filter applicants and focus man hours only on the most qualified candidates is a must. We decided to pursue ApplicantStack as they offered the most attractive feature suite in their price range. Having managed many SAAS solution purchases over the last few years, I was simply astounded at the speed and ease of the purchasing and deployment processes. The customer service was fantastic, which is always a major concern when selecting a SAAS provider. Custom development was priced so low we thought they'd misplaced a decimal.

Pros

Their support is top notch.
Their interface is clean and easy to understand for the people in our HR department.
Configuration was simple enough that IT has been able to step back and let our HR team manage changes and updates to the system.

Cons

Report customization needs work, it's tough to export the data I want in a format that doesn't require extra work after an export.
Support is fantastic, but hard to get a hold of. Often you need to leave a message on a voicemail and get a call back.
There is a strong learning curve to the interface, however once you become comfortable with it.. it's very powerful.

Likelihood to Recommend

For small/medium companies looking to simplify and track the hiring process, Applicantstack is a well priced and feature packed alternative. Its onboarding capabilities are fantastic, in its price range it has no equal.

Applicantstack offered a high level of customization for us, at a price point their competitors couldn't touch. While it's got some room for improvement in reporting, we've been able to fill every gap with custom programming at an incredibly reasonable rate.

The amount of customization is wonderful and you can get almost every aspect of the program customized to your needs.
