Key takeaways

What is ApplicantStack?
ApplicantStack is recruiting and onboarding software made for teams that fill a lot of roles without a big HR department. You can run several openings at once, move people through your own hiring stages, send text and email updates, and weed out applicants who don't meet the basics using knockout questions.
Once someone is hired, the paperwork moves online. New hires fill out onboarding forms from their phone, so HR spends less time chasing signatures and more time on the next req.

“Very user-friendly and customizable”
Pros
I like how customizable it is, and finding my way around is simple. The reporting is solid too.

Customer service could be better. They're often slow to reply, and a couple of times they didn't have a fix for my issue.
