April 6, 2019 5.0 Pros Kin is a consultant-based software company that helps build meaningful workplaces. We usually like to bring them in once a month to help us refocus on our mission and vision. It is a good time for new employees to connect with the work culture and purpose. They differentiate their services per situation and they have expertise in everything from motivation, self-care, onboarding, and social media integration. Cons I have really tried to come up with some negatives to working with Kin. They do a great job. They listen to our needs and want to help us get better. Their authentic approach makes us feel like family every time we meet. Review Source NG Nadia G. CFO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One-stop employee resource tool" November 18, 2016 5.0 We are a small company with a dozen employees. KinHR not only allows us to track our personal time off efficiently, it keeps all of those necessary employee files in one location. I can quickly upload files that everyone needs - such as 401(k) documents, federal and state posters, and employee guides, manuals, and procedures to each employee. When someone has a question, I point to KinHR. Also, we use the review and task areas of the software. No more pesky emails about tasks or paper files for reviews. Everything is there and you can go back and review easily what was assigned and what was discussed during review time. It is a great product that I would recommend to any small business owner! Pros One-stop place for everything! Cons I wish the review area was easier to use. It is clunky when setting up. And sometimes employees don't know exactly where to put their responses. I wish when you setup the review, you could add fields for questions and response areas. Small Improvements has a great model that we used prior to switching over. The review area is ok, I just wish it was a bit more robust. Such as hiding what the employee says until they are ready for their employer to review it. Sometimes, people want to have time to reflect their thoughts before hitting send.

Managing Director Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The right tool for our Small Business" August 17, 2016 5.0 Plank switched over the Kin in May 2014. The Kin team made the process painless and trouble-free. Kin seemed like the right type of solution for us. We have on average 13 active users, and we use about 80% of the features offered. We were a bit worried with a SaaS solution, but the product has been rock solid with almost no issues and zero unscheduled downtime. After 2 years we're still extremely happy. Pros Great employee records; sane and easy to use time-off management; a method to keep notes on reviews and goals; a clean, friendly and simple design; excellent customer support with quick turn around times for questions. Cons Being in Canada, we wish there was a bit more tie-in to our countries rules and regulations around typical HR tasks. Review Source ME Meagan E.

August 9, 2016 5.0 We moved to KIN HR to consolidate our onboarding system and manage our time off - it's been a great experience from the UI experience to the customer service. Pros It's easy to use, intuitive, and they're always coming out with new, better features. Cons Can't think of much, though I'm eager for them to integrate a more in-depth performance review process. Review Source DL Dave L. Partner Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product." November 22, 2016 4.0 Kin has been a great tool for Chromatic. We haven't had any issues with usage or implementation with our team. It's intuitive and has most of the features we need. Support is fantastic and Kin definitely cares about their customers, which is a major plus. The only part of the software that is lacking for me, is reporting. It would be nice to be able to get to the data that is there in a more efficient way. Otherwise, no complaints! And I would recommend this to anyone needing an HR solution. Review Source KK Kevin K.

Lindsay has been great to work with, helping us streamline our process. If you're looking for a simple solution, KIN is it! Pros keeps track of it all. I combined all my hr docs related to time-off, annual reviews, policies and more into a simple to use, nicely designed one stop solution. Cons I haven't experienced one. Review Source BS Brandi S.

Cons I hate when it tells me I’ve used up all of my vacation time. Also, that I can’t view my pay stubs here.

It is also a great place to store employee documents, and offers ease of use. Instead of employees having all the paperwork, this makes everything paperless for the most part. Pros Great for employee on boarding, makes the process virtually paperless and easy to track. Great for making sure all the documentation is in, and clearly tracking PTO. Review Source CM Chris M.
