Overall Satisfaction with ApplicantPro

ApplicantPro was used as our main recruiting application. It connects with our business website career page and stores all applicants in ApplcantPro. It was how we set up interviews, sent our digital interviews, started onboarding, etc. It was utilized as one of our main recruiting trackers. It was easy to work and read. Not complicated or overwhelming. It helped the business keep organized in our interview and hiring process.
  • They are neat and well organized in their presentation of their software.
  • They are able to connect with your company website and collect data.
  • You are also able to connect other software with it, such as 321forms and I-9 verification.
  • It is easy for managers to use and request interviews or to move forward on hiring.
  • It some ways it can seem too simple - you can't have a lot of work done directly through ApplicantPro. For example, you had to have it connect with other software to onboard people.
  • Sometimes it was very hard to get a hold of your rep or customer service for help with the system. I would say it was a 50/50 response.
  • I wish it had more in it that you could utilize from being hired to be terminated and in between, such as performance tracking, etc. It was maybe that my company didn't utilize the full software, but I didn't see that option.
  • Positive: It was easy to train managers and new admins on how to use it. Which in turn made the recruiting easier
  • Positive: It was very good at keeping track of applicants and where they were in the hiring process.
  • Negative: You had to use outside software to do onboarding, I-9/ e-Verification. We had to spend more money for outside software to be implemented into the system and by that had to pay for several software instead of one.
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 more difficult to learn. It took me a lot longer to use it efficiently. If you are a small company looking for a easy and simple software to use I would recommend ApplicantPro.
It is very well suited for recruiting and keeping track of all the resumes, and people who applied to open positions. I would not say it is an appropriate software for onboarding materials just because it makes you use a different software. If they implemented an onboarding documentation tracking I would say it would be more appropriate. I wish it just had a little bit more in the onboarding area.
