I would have thought ApplicantPro would be good for lower level positions such as accounting clerks; however, I have not had much luck finding qualified applicants for these positions through ApplicantPro. I'm not sure if this has to do with a software or the current state of affairs in the US with COVID-19.

I think for more professional setting jobs this program will work. I think the scope and types of hires we make tend to go elsewhere.

Pros
  • Integration with BambooHR for when someone is hired

  • It provided real time data, with readable reports.
  • It makes posting jobs easier, post in the system, and it blasts to job boards.
  • The metrics available to time to fill, etc., are user friendly, and creating reports is simple.

Cons
  • While Applicant Pro interfaces with many HRIS platforms to streamline onboarding, unfortunately this option is not available for us (though I'm not sure if that's Applicant Pro's fault or our HRIS provider's fault).

  • The ability to not allow applicants to apply more than one time if that application has been rejected in the past.

Alternatives Considered
These two systems are similar in that they track applicants, can store offers, automate email responses and allow easy job posting. I think that PeopleSoft is a little more advanced and has more overall options/safeguards, where as ApplicantPro is still in a learning phase both within themselves and for us as a company

Didn't always get good resumes from Monster. CareerBuilder Applicant Tracking allowed us to get resumes and track all in one place which was very helpful for the project we were working on at the time. Resumes were good as well as system itself. The managers all like it as well which is a big help when you want their buy in to a product to use.
