Stephanie B.: Hi, I'm Stephanie. I'm an owner in the hospitality industry and I give GoodHire of four out of five stars. So I was unsure about GoodHire initially, but after speaking with the rep and they walked me through how the software would benefit my company, I decided to go ahead and use their platform. I chose GoodHire for two reasons. First, it's convenient for both me and the independent contractors that I hire. We simply send the information to GoodHire and GoodHire reaches out to the independent contractors and there's usually a one day turnaround time for the product that we need and also it's volume pricing. I was able to talk with the rep and negotiate a lower price per product, based on a forecast that amount of independent contractors that I thought I would have. It was very easy to onboard and integrate GoodHire into my company because all I have to do is provide them with the information about the independent contractor and GoodHire does the rest of the work. If you're considering GoodHire, I would recommend that you talk with your rep about the billing and pricing specifically. The rep I spoke with was great, but she left out a crucial piece of information. She did not explain the billing to me at all and here are the two pay structures. So, you can either allow GoodHire to invoice you monthly for whatever products you have used, or you can pay them $300 or some other fee, and GoodHire will then charge for the products that are used by your clients or customers.

Donald: Yes, I'm Donald. I work with Gardner-Webb University as a standardized patient, and I would rate the ADP software with the five stars out of five stars. The previous software that was being used, it wasn't as quick and easy as the ADP. It was outdated, and so people were having trouble getting everything submitted for hours, and so there was an issue with just the software not really being updated frequently that we had. So, ADP was something that was being updated frequently and was easier to use than the old software. We chose ADP Workforce software because it was something that had great reviews, it was being used by other companies, and we did some research on it to figure out that the ADP was being reviewed very well, and that it seemed to be a decent program that could provide everything we needed as far as being able to submit the times, being able to keep track of the different people that were working and that. So, it seemed to me more convenient, have great reviews, and was being used by a lot of other companies based on searches done on the ADP software. It's very easy for it to be integrated. Once it was set up, then we were able to access it very quick and easy. The information provided and the app itself was easy to fall along with and didn't take very long for everybody to get adjusted and acclimated to it. I highly recommend ADP Workforce. I think it would be great for others to use because of easy access, navigation is great. It's something that doesn't have a lot of issues like troubleshooting problems. It seems to function very well, and I've not had any issues with it. So, I definitely recommend that. I'd say the others should use it for the ease of access and the functioning of it.
