ApplicantStack — HR & Recruiting

What is ApplicantStack?

ApplicantStack is a cloud-based applicant tracking system (ATS) and HR software that helps employers find, hire, and onboard new employees. It combines recruiting, onboarding, and candidate texting in one platform, simplifying the hiring process from job posting to new hire paperwork.

What problem does it solve?

Manual hiring processes are slow and error-prone. ApplicantStack streamlines recruitment by letting you post jobs to multiple boards, score candidates with prescreen questions, schedule interviews, and communicate via text. Its onboarding module reduces paperwork with e-signatures and checklists, helping new hires get up to speed faster and reducing turnover.

Who is it for?

ApplicantStack is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses, HR teams, and hiring managers in 235 industries. It's suited for companies that need a cost-effective, user-friendly ATS without enterprise complexity. It may not be the best fit for large enterprises with highly complex, custom workflows, though it offers some customization.

Real use cases

A startup with low-volume hiring can use the Starter plan to manage one active job. A growing company might choose Growth for three active jobs. For active hiring, the Recruit plan offers unlimited job postings. Bundle adds onboarding for a complete hire-to-onboard solution.

• Job Posting — Create and manage job posts from one place, then distribute to major job boards and social media sites.
• Candidate Scoring — Use prescreen and knock-out questions to qualify candidates automatically.
• Interview Scheduling — Coordinate interviews and gather standardized feedback from your hiring team.
• Candidate Texting — Communicate via text to boost response rates and reduce no-shows.
• Onboarding Workflows — Build checklists, track tasks, and e-sign documents to streamline new hire onboarding.
• Integrations — Connect with popular HR apps for background screenings, assessments, and job sourcing.
