Application Support Engineer I Information Technology and Services, 11-50 employees Used the software for: 1-2 years ** Overall Rating 4.0 ** Ease of Use 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 Features 4.0 Value for Money 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 70% 7/10 Reviewer Source Source: Capterra December 11, 2025 "Good - But need to improve on the Employee portal and Resume orders" **Pros:** It's quite revolutionary. I appreciate its authenticity and its use of AI for job searching and resume building. **Cons:** The employee portal appears to be malfunctioning. I submitted a leave request, but am unable to view its progress in the app; it displays only "Pending approval." I can access the details only after the request has been approved. Additionally, when submitting my resume, my work experience is not sorted correctly by year—entries from 2019 appear first, while those from 2025 are placed at the bottom. Angela T. Office Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism, 11-50 employees Used the software for: 1-2 years ** Overall Rating 3.0 ** Ease of Use 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 Features 3.0 Value for Money 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10% 1/10 Reviewer Source Source: Capterra January 29, 2025 "Keteriki Ltd" **Overall:** Employment Hero is complicated to establish and takes a lot of time, this was not made clear when the programme was presented initially. While members of the support team are helpful and understanding, they are not available at the outset. The Submit A Request is time consuming and often I don't receive a response to that request for days. There are many times when I have had to chase up my request and keep a track of ticket numbers. The Ask An Expert option has become cumbersome because of the initial AI response - a complicated issue cannot be solved via the AI. We have had issues with the SWAG App e.g., some employee's timesheets populate to EH HR but some only to EH Payroll, it should be consistent. **Pros:** The capability of the HR platform for employee management and reports. The comprehensive Payroll platform encompassing all aspects of Payroll relating to employment legislation. **Cons:** Complicated to set-up; slow response from support team for issues; constant issues with Payroll; the SWAG App is hit and miss - some employees timesheets populate to EH HR and some do not. **Alternatives Considered:** [Smartly](https://www.capterra.com/p/246213/Smartly/) **Reasons for Choosing Employment Hero:** The EH HR programme with its many options. **Switched From:** [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) **Reasons for Switching to Employment Hero:** Increasing number of employees therefore the need for a Payroll and HR system to manage an increasing workforce. Vendor Response By Employment Hero on February 7, 2025 Hi Angela, thank you for our feedback.
