David P
HR Manager
5.0

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.

MICHELLE H
Virtual Assistant
3.0

Michelle: Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm a virtual assistant and blog writer. I give PCRecruiter a three-star rating. And if you want to see more videos like this, just click below. Before PCRecruiter, I was basically just doing cut and paste from LinkedIn. There was not time efficient. I was actually having to enter data into spreadsheets, and it was just long drawn-out process. My one client actually was a part of PCRecruiter, so that was when I first got into using it. It made it a lot easier to move data from LinkedIn into the database, capture resumes, those types of things, so that we could do the job that needed to be done. PCRecruiter was a little bit more difficult. There was an actual training session. A lot of information went through with it. The people were great, and they were always there to help, but there was so much information and not necessarily a lot of written down information to reference. So it was a little difficult to actually get in the swing of things. I think that PCRecruiter is a great up and coming way to capture information, especially for recruiters. I think that you need to make sure that the people that are going to use it actually have the time to do the training and do it right.
