ME Marie E. HR Business Partner Staffing and Recruiting ### "Centrally HR Review" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 14, 2026 I found that the platform allows for process automation that gives our organization the ability to remove mundane paper related tasks and makes it easier for the cross collaboration of data and information. I have used other platforms and find that the look and ease of inputting of information in Centrally HR makes the platform so much more efficient and easier to use than others. Pros The platform allows us to capture the necessary data, allows for team collaboration across departments, and allows our managers ease of accessing employees for easy employee management. CBIZ also offers wonderful customer support for questions and training. Cons When I stepped into my role the organization was only utilizing the payroll and basic employee maintenance portions of the platform. I have since started the process to add Recruitment, ACA Compliance and Performance Management. I believe this will give us a more robust platform and allow better tracking of data and information.
