Took the paperwork away

We are a growing business and this keeps all our people info tidy and in one place instead of scattered everywhere.

So glad we moved to it

We used to keep everything in spreadsheets and folders. Now all our employee records, leave and documents sit in one place and the team can help themselves.

The self service is the winner for me. Staff update their own details, book leave and grab their documents without coming to my desk.

Tidy and reliable

It covers the core HR admin nicely. A few features are more built for the US than for us here.

Simple and does what we need

Rolled it out to about 60 staff and the feedback has been great. People find it easy and I get my time back.

Okay HR tool

Good on the day to day, but a chunk of it is aimed at bigger US companies and does not apply to us.

Staff love the self service

The time off side alone was worth it. No more long email chains just to approve a day of leave.

Support has been quick and genuinely helpful the couple of times I needed them.

Payroll is not really built for the United Kingdom so we run that side separately.

Great for a small HR team

Onboarding a new starter used to eat a whole day of admin. Now most of it runs itself before they even walk in.
