Office/Acct Manager Online Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Human Resources is now efficient and company risk has been dramatically reduced with HR Partner" October 16, 2019 5.0 As a growing organization, we have gone from no official HR tracking to having HR Partner fully implemented and scalable across our organization. This is complete with 'signable' employee handbooks, employee records for payroll, electronics and equipment tracking, recruiting and on-boarding, etc., all in one space. Implementing HR Partner has alleviated stress across management not only due to the ability to collate documents and time-off requests in one central location, but the ability to have checks and balances in place company-wide. Pros The overall ease of use, layout and functionality was my main attraction to HR Partner. The platform is intuitive, with a plethora of options and the ability to personalize features was wonderful. The support from the team and online tutorials only made the set up process even easier. Cons Nothing. Any time I had a question, the support team was readily available.

" March 30, 2025 5.0 A great experience! I have felt very supported along the entire journey. Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] has been an incredible point of contact form beginning to end. She answered all my questions (and if she didn't have the answer straight, she was very quick to get it!). An excellent resource of information and very personable. Cons The integration with xero isn't super smooth, but this is more because of xero.

Review Source PS Philip S. Principal Engineer Medical Devices Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Exceptionally good for hiring" December 19, 2024 4.0 Pros I use HR partner for its hiring tools. I find the integrations with 3rd parties really useful for getting applications in - and the tooling that allows several staff members to vet these applications before they go through our hiring process is an excellent way of sifting through to find the best applicants. The interview feedback process is very easy and great for subjectively reviewing candidates as I find time tends to distort the views of the interviewers compared to when the interview was done - this makes sure we progress the right candidates. Being able to login and use the hiring tools frequently allows us to understand how close we are to landing the perfect candidate. Having used HR Partner for hiring candidates over the past 12 months it has been a great experience. Cons I think the user interface can be, at times, confusing and ill presented. Information isn't always where I would expect and its sometimes hard to differentiate between one section of the UI and another. Review Source TL Terri L. General Manager Operations Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Flexibility and customer service at a great price" October 28, 2024 4.0 The platform has been great for our startup, allowing us the flexibility we required from our early days to our considerable growth in our second year of operation. The support team is always very helpful, and we can't fault their customer service. While the platform may be missing some features compared to some of the big players in the Australian market, we felt this was reflected in their lower cost and flexible pricing plans. Pros This platform's cost is fantastic compared to some of its competitors, and it has allowed us the flexibility we need for our startup business. Cons The platform does require a lot of customisation of settings and self setup, but this is reflected in the low cost. However, the support team is always on hand to help and guide you through the process. There are several features that the platform is missing compared to its competitors but they have been developing some of these and we've seen some new features this year which have been great.

We run into a few bugs or speed bumps but the support has been great to work with through the issues. Pros Provides a centralized place for all HR functions for a great price Cons There is no mobile app that exist for the platform Alternatives considered [Rippling](https://www.capterra.com/p/172127/Rippling/)[BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing HR Partner Way more robust with more features for the price Review Source LR Lisa R.

In addition, I find the 'Reminder' notification capabilities very time efficient. Plus there support staff and very responsive to questions and issues. Cons The images are a bit naff - they could be a bit more sophisticated with the available graphics that is on the market. Review Source Response from HR Partner July 24, 2026 Hi Lisa, We wanted to let you know that we've recently refreshed the HR Partner interface. The update includes a cleaner, more modern design and a number of usability improvements, while keeping the way HR Partner works familiar. You can find out more using the link below.

It is something that our business cannot do without. Pros This is a one stop shop for all HR needs. I like that you can have onboarding staff complete all required documents online before they start. Cons I loke all aspects… but some things needed more expiration or instructions. I also have needed support and we have a significant time difference Review Source VB Veronica B. Human Resources Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HR's Best Friend!" January 12, 2026 5.0 I have been using HR Partners for almost a year and its been so nice and effective its all in one place! Pros I love how easy it is to use and understand. It's simple to add custom questions and track PTO. Simple to use. Cons Wish it had an app to make it easier on the employees to access. Would love to be easier to upload a form to be fillable. Review Source EG Emily G. Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Simple and Reliable HR Tool for Growing Teams Like Us :)" January 12, 2026 5.0 Overall, HR Partner is a dependable and easy-to-use HR management tool. It’s especially well-suited for small to medium-sized businesses looking for a straightforward solution to manage employee records, recruitment, and HR processes without complexity. Pros Clean, user-friendly interface Easy employee record management Good balance of features without unnecessary complexity Affordable compared to larger HR systems Cons Applicant tracking could be more robust Customization options are somewhat limited Limited advanced reporting options Review Source JL James L.

If i have any questions the team are always quick to respond and helpful. Cons Holiday balances is a bit challenging with bespoke arrangements, but the support team sorted it out quickly Review Source AH Angela H. Executive Assistant Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product!" August 26, 2019 5.0 Pros I like the ease of use and the variety of features. HR Partner is well designed and intuitive for new users. It also has a lot of the features we need, which is what made it stand out against its competitors. Their support is also quick and helpful, even with the difference in time zones. Cons There are a few features we wished were available like automatically calculating for federal holidays that all employees are given off and setting a maxed amount of hours per person without a new leave policy for each person. However, HR Partner has taken our feature requests and implemented multiple of them and we appreciate that collaboration.

I enjoy being able to find, share and manage our HR documents and the auto-hassle feature for chasing e-signatures, checklists and forms is excellent! Pros HR Partner have support who actually respond usefully and promptly every time, they have excellent online help resources and regular training. The streamlined onboarding and other HR compliance processes we have achieved via HR Partner are professional and time saving. Cons Some slight lag in processing time evident to us in Australia. Gives you time to reflect on the process you are undertaking! Review Source DL Dylan L. Acupuncturist Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Business Productivity increased " June 29, 2025 5.0 There has been a recent rise in productivity among the company while integrating HR partner into the workforce. Pros Made it much more ease of management for online integration with our business and better quality of services for customers. Cons Nothing major comes to mind there are some things that were tricky at first but overall it seems rather easy to use. Review Source EN Eugenia N. HR Officer Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Highly recommended system" August 15, 2024 5.0 It's not like other systems that you need to write down or memorize lengthy codes to view/access different features of the employee data. It is very easy. Even I'm very new to it, I have found my way around. On top of an excellent system, you have a team of professionals who are dedicated and that helps us with all of our queries/questions. 😊 Pros I like a lot of things about HR Partner but I will list only two that we normally talk about in our office. The thing I like the most about HR Partner is Recruitment. It's very easy to access for us (ADI admins) as well as user-friendly to applicants. When we posted a job vacancy, none of the interested candidate complained of any issues. It was fast to load, and they applied without technical difficulties. Another thing I like the most is your team's customer service and the prompt responses to our requests regardless of the time differences. Thumbs up to your team. Cons I wouldn't say 'not liked' rather a recommendation for the future maybe. I might be wrong but I think that there should be a history for all the employees. For example, last year someone occupied a different position, this year, he/she has a different position title. HR Partner only shows the current details. It should capture the previous history with the dates for the each of the actions done for all employees. Review Source Response from HR Partner August 22, 2024 Hey Eugenia! Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback, it really does mean the world! You might like to know that there is a "Positions & Salaries" submodule in each employee's record which allows you to record every position change and salary increment, along with the appropriate dates! If you aren't seeing this it might be to do with your admin user permissions. Our support team would be more than happy to help you here though, please don't hesitate to reach out to us on support@hrpartner.io Thanks again for taking the time to write a wonderful review. We are so pleased that HR Partner is making a positive impact in your organization.

It really is 24/7 as they have people in every time zone (note - people, not bots!) But mostly it is very straightforward and easy to use Cons For advertising new jobs, editing the job template is a little challenging at the start until you learn to paste it all in with no formatting Review Source NB Neil B. HR Advisor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product for small to medium sized businesses. " May 9, 2023 5.0 It has been great for us. We were looking at products which were available which were in budget and met our needs. HR Partner exceeded our requirements, and is within budget. The support is fantastic as well. I don't feel like a number - but a client who they care about. Pros Easy to useEasy to implementSupport is fantastic and quickBespoke options are not expensive (for what we have required) Just a fantastic product Cons Anything missing has been built or sorted for us. Review Source AA ADRIAN A. Managing Director Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Streamlining HR Processes with HR Partner" March 14, 2024 5.0 One of HR Partner's most striking features is its intuitive interface, which requires minimal training for our team to navigate effectively. This ease of use has significantly reduced the learning curve, allowing us to swiftly implement the software without disrupting our daily operations. Pros As part of our ongoing effort to modernize and optimize our human resources management, we recently integrated HR Partner into our workflow, and the results have been nothing short of exceptional. This user-friendly and comprehensive HR software has revolutionized our personnel management, making tasks seamless and efficient. Cons We need a user-friendly e-sign and connectivity with more payroll software Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing HR Partner The price and cost for extras............. Review Source Nupur S. Senior Project Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Recruiting at Ease" December 27, 2022 4.0 Pros HR Partner has been instrumental in our transition from paper-based to digital HR records. Seeking to professionalize our small business’ HR functions, HR Partner has enabled us to streamline, manage and bolster all facets of HR, from recruitment to administration to employee retention and beyond. Cons Despite its ease of use, the system is somewhat heavy on text. Moreover, if your team organization chart is more dynamic, you cannot assign more than one person to whom a team member reports. Review Source Response from HR Partner January 25, 2023 Hey there Nurpur! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to read that our platform has helped you transform to a paperless way of working! Your point on the org. chart has been noted and added to our feature request list. We fully appreciate that many of our customers today have more complex reporting lines and this is something we will look to accommodate in the future. In the meantime why not record somebody's dual reporting line in a custom field? Thanks again for posting! Please do reach out to us at support@hrpartner.io to give us some more detailed feedback on where you feel the site is text heavy. We're always looking for ways to improve our platform so feedback like this is invaluable! Best, Cara VR Verified Reviewer HR Partner Review Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HR Partner software review" January 17, 2023 4.0 Pros Checklists and e-signatures modules are used to provide policy and procedure information throughout our company since they enable explicit employee attestation. - A glimpse at the organizational chart - The capability for managers to keep track of leave balances, upcoming training requirements, and significant notes. - Including work reminders and training expiration dates, such as OH&S requirements Cons Yearly leave appears to be excessively muddled. Most other HRIS I've tested, the leave has been clear and very computerized though this needs a lot of manual mediation Reason for choosing HR Partner Affordable privéIt ils vert responsiveA good customer service Review Source Response from HR Partner January 18, 2023 Hi there and thanks so much for your review. It's great to hear that you're finding many parts of HR Partner helpful - especially the org chart, reminders, and employee files. The leave tracking should also be very straight forward and automatic once your leave policies setup correctly. From the sounds of your comments, I think there might be something that might have been missed. To help get to the bottom of this, I'd like to invite you to contact our team (support@hrpartner.io) to arrange a call where we can troubleshoot this with you and ensure that it's easier in the future! I hope that helps. Regards, Fiona Maurizio M. Finance and Logistics Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "So happy for our choice" January 6, 2022 5.0 Pros HR Partner contains all the features we needed and, more we use, more we see the benefit of an integrated set of features covering all HR needs. The Recruitment function able to push on Job Boards has increased a lot the visibility of our Job Offers. On top, fantastic support from the developer, quick and precise to reply effectively to any request we ever made. Cons We were missing the Employee 's Appraisal. We discussed this option with the developer. But it will come soon. Timesheet a bit too tricky to use / report. Review Source DH Donna H. Office Administrator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "HR Partner -Great!" April 2, 2024 5.0 I really enjoy using HR Partner. I find inputting the data easy now I use it every day. I can create documents for our employees that ask for signatures or forms to be filled in. I like the fact I can keep a check on documents that the employees are filling in. There is a lot of information that can be gathered from the useful portal. Pros Filling in all the details of our employees and having them to hand very quickly. I like the fact we can add notes about the employee. I like the file attachments so we can upload all the documents related to the employee. Cons Booking the holidays for our employees because it has a default that doesn't work for the hours we do so it makes it harder for the employee to understand what holidays they have left.

September 29, 2021 5.0 Coming into the demo, we had a clear requirement list and all of it is being taken care of. We're raving fans! :) Pros I've used a handful of HR platforms, both as a general user but also as an implementor/ admin. HRp outperforms 99% of those and 100% when considering value for money. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and the team are absolute rockstars when it comes to support. Setup in itself is extremely intuitive but there hasn't been a query that hasn't been answered within the day, including weekends! There's a host of features and for a scale-up like us, the pricing tiers is perfect. Honestly, in 3 months of using the platform it's evident every feature has been thoughtfully curated. Our company is co-located across 2 countries and this still does a fantastic job across all the modules we're using. There's even a user-pushed feature implementation which is huge! Cons Genuinely, none that I've used so far. 3 months in and all is gold! Review Source AW Aimee W.
