### "Some pros and cons about HRdownloads "

June 18, 2024

4.0

HRdownloads is very useful especially if you need a template or get an idea on how to create something for HR purposes.

Pros

The available templates that we can use anytime. Those templates save a lot of time and research.

Cons

Maybe the integration part? We cant integrate the HRdownloads to the EDM tool that we are currently using.

Reason for choosing Citation Canada

Because this product is important for us and also the price is reasonable.

### "HR Downloads a life saver"

May 28, 2024

5.0

Pros

I work for a global company and finding a program that meets our needs was difficult as many platforms are specific to larger countries (mainly the USA) HR downloads is a pleasure to use because it is Canadian focused and ensures that you remain up to date on the latest changes and notifies you.

Cons

I don't love the look of the platform and I wish there were a way to batch download the certificates for my HRIS records.

### "Great HR Tool"

February 9, 2024

5.0

Great Service, Lots of Documents and Training Courses available. The News and Legislation module is very helpful.

Pros

I love that the training courses are interactive. It helps the employees to be in engaged in the course.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to find what I want as there are many documents, BUT when I look through all the documents I come across something that I know I will need in the future and I add it to the library so I do not need to look for it again.

Reason for choosing Citation Canada

I have been using HRdownloads since 2005 and have used it at every employer I have worked at. As a single HR person in an organization, its a great toll to be utilized.

### "Review of HR Downloads"

February 9, 2024

4.0

Really enjoy it and the customer service is excellent!

Pros

Easy to use and understand almost all parts. Does give financial assistance to non-profit organizations.

Cons

Getting the reports can be confusing sometimes. Would prefer to be able to edit each section of employee file rather then the one only at the top of the page.

Reason for choosing Citation Canada

From my knowledge this was the best price for the content we needed.

5.0

Excellent, worth while, and rewarding.

Pros

The customer service at HR Downloads is outstanding, the quickness of daily customer support given when facing a smaller problem really helps when our employees have specific time scheduled to their training and we can get the problem solved with them that same day. I am often explained the WHY of the problem as well. Which helps build great communication and realistic expectationd between I, the administrator, and the HR Downloads employee.

Cons

As we are now in the new updated Beta version, I feel as though I am still having trouble deciphering where certain items are.

### "HRDownloads"

December 19, 2019

4.0

Good experience over the years. Team is responsive to any issues.

Pros

The company keeps it updated with new information and service offerings

Cons

Because there is so much content now from when I first started using it, it can be challenging filtering results to find what you're looking for quickly.

### "HRdownloads"

December 19, 2019

5.0

I am tackling our office Manual at the moment. I am able to access the software anytime, anywhere which also helps me stay on target and not giving up my family time.

Pros

Wow, where do I begin....this software in my opinion is fantastic. Staying Current is the key in this fast paced country. Safes me a lot of time when I need to research any policies...it just a click of a button. Great tool to have when you want create your own policy manual and keep nice and tidy with any misunderstandings(employee). HRdownloads is having an HR in the office without the added salary.

Cons

Not understanding the capability and power of this software.

Reason for choosing Citation Canada

HRdownloads just made a lot of sense

Very Satisfied :)

Pros

Quick Response Time When issues/questions occur, easy to send out polls and training

Having to update different sections of the software. If an employee quits, I have to deactivate the employee but also go and remove them from different lists. it this was streamlined it would reduce the chance of missing something!

December 19, 2019

4.0

Pros

The online training and new reminder function is great! It's easy to set-up and send out to your employees.

Cons

I wish there were other options for the billing, I use the training but not the fundamentals as much. I would prefer an option for a 6 month package.

### "HR Downloads Review"

December 19, 2019

4.0

Overall, we have found it very helpful to have access to HR Downloads. We do not have an HR expert on our small team so it is helpful to have the service.

Pros

I like how easy it is to use and how quickly i can chat with customer support.

Cons

I find that at times I am receiving different support/information from the HR consultants which can sometimes be confusing when dealing with the same issue.

### "Great Resource"

June 11, 2020

5.0

I have had no issues using HR Downloads as a training resource and am able to easily register new employees and assign tasks.

Pros

HR Downloads has a lot of great resources for training and development of employees, as well as HR advice and information. The training modules themselves are also very informative and the HR Toolbox has a lot of great tools for the workplace.

Cons

I find the bundling feature a little hard to maneuver and understand. It doesn't really work for me, but it's not really that necessary.
