(1888PressRelease) August 19, 2011 - ApplicantStack, a leader in recruiting and staffing software, shares how applicant tracking systems can increase efficiency and lower costs in non-profit and community organizations. With the growth of less expensive and easy-to-use software applications, non-profit organizations with smaller operating budgets can now enjoy the benefits of increased productivity that had been available only to large companies with big budgets.

ApplicantStack is in the fast-growing category of Soft-as-a-Service, or SaaS. Smaller businesses and non-profits are benefiting from this trend to SaaS because these powerful applications bring significant productivity benefits without the expense and hassle of traditional software. Typically, new software must be installed on PC's as well as on the network, while all workers must be trained to learn the new system. This comes with upfront costs for customization, installation, training and on-going costs for IT support, maintenance and upgrades. These costs were a barrier that kept many not-for-profit organizations from adopting the technologies they needed, but finally things are starting to change.

Examples such as Community Health Association of Spokane, Houston Leadership for Tomorrow, Rockford Park District, and Triangle Worksource show how Software-as-a-Service applications such as ApplicantStack can break down these barriers and help small and mid-sized organizations bring on the solutions they need. Importantly, SaaS does not need to be installed, no need for IT support and no upfront costs. It is designed to be easy-to-use and it is one, low monthly cost for everything.

Triangle WorkSource is a regional partnership between three workforce boards in the North Carolina Triangle region and local and regional economic developers. Triangle WorkSource provides little to no-cost tools and services to new, expanding and relocating businesses that assist with recruiting, hiring and training efforts while increasing employment opportunities for local talent.

According to Brenda Wilderson, Regional Project Manager, "TWS needed a way to prescreen applicants for companies that are expanding or relocating to the Research Triangle region. Being able to offer this service at no charge would be one of many other incentives for companies to choose our area to do business as opposed to another. The application may also be used to enhance other workforce services. For example, we may use it prescreen people for special training programs. Most of these programs require people to fall into certain categories for income, education, age, etc. Using ApplicantStack will eliminate manual applications and help identify eligible candidates much faster and more efficiently."

Toni Weatherwax, an HR Professional at Community Health Association of Spokane explains the benefits of bringing on ApplicantStack to help them in their medical, dental and pharmacy services organization. "ApplicantStack has made my life easier, particularly with automatic emails to applicants and group communication to applicants (i.e. mass mailing). It's easy to organize and view the status of jobs and applicants, the history of actions and communications to applicants, and the list goes on!"

ApplicantStack believes SaaS applications are the way of the future because they are affordable, low maintenance, and easy-to-use. This approach has helped ApplicantStack become one of the fastest growing applicant tracking systems and expand to more than 250 clients across all major industries and with customer in four continents.
