### "Sapling held my hand and guided me through the onboarding process."

February 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

Simple, understandable, and gives me a good picture of the organization I am entering. Onboarding tasks were presented as an easy-to-follow checklist.

Cons

The onboarding task list does present all tasks at once, including those whose completion is required at some point in the future (say, first day tasks).

### "Seamless Process "

August 8, 2019

5.0

Pros

Sapling made my onboarding process for my new job so easy and straightforward. Being able to fill everything in from home before my first day and have it upload so simply was so helpful!

Cons

I accidentally went back a page and it deleted everything I had already filled out on the current page.

### "great design and functionality"

January 29, 2019

4.0

Pros

the design is great, it is modern and easy to follow. overall, the software is very intuitive and responsive, it is simple to get accustomed to and makes the pre-employment start process very welcoming. the team member's feature is great and helps give you a general idea of who you are going to be working with.

Cons

I am still not sure what further uses would be for Sapling as I get comfortable with my new position, but social features and events board can defiantly add to it

Onboarding for my new job and it was super easier and cool to use Sapling to create all the required forms and my employment profile. So much easier and quicker than filling out forms by hand. Very cool tech!

### "Good place to get new employees comfortable"

July 3, 2019

4.0

Pros

It is organized and easy to understand. It also made me feel comfortable that there are several new joinees like me who are joining.

Cons

nothing stood out but if I have to be picky, I'd say it might be a good idea to add number of tasks remaining to the updates summary page.

Pros

Sapling was super easy to use and made my onboarding a breeze.

5.0

Pros

Sapling was very intuitive and easy to navigate. Didn't have to think very much and could find what I was looking for.

### "Sapling is good overall, but has room for improvement"

July 13, 2019

4.0

Pros

Overall, the software was good. It was fairly easy to use and very intuitive.

Cons

For items I had to sign, I was required to upload an image for each document rather than being able to load it once and use it for all of them.

### "Great as a directory and helped me onboard smoothly"

May 10, 2019

4.0

Have had a pretty smooth experience with the product in helping me onboard and do my documentation before starting. Was very impressed that i could upload my I-9 stuff which I've never been able to do before. Like the directory but wish it was more feature filled because at this point I'll probably use Sapling pretty rarely.

Pros

\- Directory Table and way to look up people to find their manager / team - Easy to upload documents on onboarding - attractive interface

Cons

\- a little laggy - Wish there was more comprehensive org charts - wish there was some sort of seating chart feature or something of the sort

### "Sapling has a very easy to use interface. Very functional. "

July 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

Gives new hires a good first experience and interaction with the company. Great way to streamline new hire documents and introduce the team before the candidate arrives for their first day.

Cons

Does not play nice with other programs. We use a lot of different programs and it would be great if Sapling was more willing to share basic information with other programs.
