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

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
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 has decreased our man hours spent on the hiring process.
  • As it manages our whole on boarding process, it's eliminated lost documents and filing mistakes.
  • It's opened us up to the world of social networking based recruitment.
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.
