Panashe B.: Hello. My name is Panashe. I'm the IT specialist for [inaudible 00:00:04] Solutions, and I rate ZipRecruiter five stars out of five stars. In addition to ZipRecruiter, I have tried out Indeed, I've tried FlexJobs, and, of course, [inaudible 00:00:19] Solutions. And I think they're good compared to ZipRecruiter. I put them at the same level. I chose ZipRecruiter because a friend of mine recommended it and I found it easier to use compared to the others. Setting up the ZipRecruiter account wasn't hard because it can link with our social, and when it comes to doing the recruitment and all, it's easier to get the job that you need and all. So, yeah, I guess it was pretty easy for someone who is tech savvy. [inaudible 00:01:00] might consider using ZipRecruiter. I would advise them to keep an eye out on the emails because you can get a lot of emails.

HR Manager

David: My name is David. I'm an HR manager, and I work for a nonprofit company that's got about 250 employees. I would give Paycor a solid five. Previously, we were using a system called Zenefits, which was not very robust. They had pretty poor customer service, and it just was a little glitchier than anybody really liked. It also was not very intuitive to use. We chose Paycor, because we tested several different companies. They were the company that really seemed to care the most about what our experience was going to be after implementation. A lot of great demos, a lot of assurances that the things that we were looking for, like an intuitive interface that employees would enjoy using the app from their perspective. And yeah, they just promised us that if there wasn't something that was working for us, that we could look at it, and they have absolutely lived up to that promise. So implementation of Paycor was the easiest thing I think I've ever done. When we switched providers previously, a couple of years before that, to Zenefits, that process took about two weeks and was labor-intensive. When we implemented Paycor, they walked us through the process. It took less than two hours and we were done. And it worked beautifully from day one, pretty much. So to anybody who's looking at switching HRIS systems, I would say test drive as many as you can. Look at the features that are going to be most important to you, whether it's timekeeping or reporting. For us, what was most important was going to be customer service, because we do have a very unusual setup and we knew that we would need to reach out from time to time with different issues. And they have absolutely lived up to their promises of excellent customer service.
