Pros

“Features like onboarding, employee records, and time-off tracking are well organized and efficient, which helps streamline processes and save time. While there are some limitations in customization and more advanced features, the system performs reliably for core HR functions.”

Louie W.

Project Coordinator

“The interface is intuitive, well-organized, and makes HR processes much simpler on a daily basis, especially tasks like employee management, time-off tracking, and onboarding.”

Tamires R.

Payroll analyst

“It simplifies daily administrative tasks like checking vacation balances and submitting feedback. While the user experience is generally positive, resolving the stability of the org chart and adding an "auto-save" or longer session duration for feedback forms would make it much better.”

Santiago G.

Product Manager

Pros

“The holiday management, document storage and e-signature features are particularly useful, and the platform has saved us a considerable amount of administrative time.”

Ben D.

Charity Manager

“BrightHR is an amazing for its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features that streamline HR processes, including time management, document storage, and employee self-service.”

Ikponmwosa O.

Business development manager

“The platform covers everything we need in one place – from time tracking to secure document storage – which saves us both time and admin costs.”

Stacey L.

Director Owner

Cons

“Also, for new hire paperwork, it is difficult to parse the forms and then there are glitches when new hires fill out the forms (also it doesn't work right on the app, so they are forced to use a computer to fill out the forms)”

Laura F.

HR Associate

“Every single time I want to add a candidate, I have to manually type or copy-paste all their details and resume info into the system. When you're doing high-volume hiring, this wastes hours of my week.”

Denis M.

Recruiter

“The inability to view time off requests on the same page as the time card made it very difficult to get a good overview of time needs without constantly changing screens.”

LuAnne H.

Billing Specialist

Cons

“Its early days so no great concerns, other than in terms of annual leave, the system does not allow to put in exact dates for employees on fixed term contracts.”

Julie M.

Executive Assistant

“There are some mandatory features and tasks that needs to be added to the Bright safe(health and safety component of the system ) like the CQC compliance updates, basic care plans and assessments templates for domiciliary care providers ,daily tasks & some other stuffs which makes it incomplete and the system can not be rated as ALL IN ONE.”

Evelyn I.

Registered Manager

“There were a couple of updates and processes that could have been communicated more clearly, and sometimes it took a little time to get information sorted.”

Sneha G.

Practice Manager
