Paycor vs Lever: Which is a better fit?

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.

Jennifer R.: My name is Jennifer. I'm an analyst. I rate Lever four out of five. And for more reviews like this, click below. We use Lever as a recruiting tool. So if I wanted to refer someone, I would go into Lever, put their resume in, or send them a referral link. It made it super easy for me to refer people and track the status of their application. The thing I like the most about the software is it was so easy to use, searching the jobs that were available at my company was really easy. And the user interface from the application side of things was very easy to use. However, what I didn't like about lever is there wasn't a lot of data that I could look at. It was difficult to see how my referrals were stacking up against other people. And I would've just like to have seen little bit more data analytics from it.
