HRLocker Features

This tool is very easy to use. The majority of it is self-explanatory which is great as we have new users added each month. I love that Hirelocker is linked to HR Locker and any candidates that are hired are automatically placed in the Onboarding Office. I also like the reports section - again everything is in one place and easily accessible.

I would love to see the "Time Off" section being updated to include Gmail so that when someone books annual leave in HRLocker that it updates their calendar also. I belive this is readily available for Outlook email but not Gmail as of yet. I would also like to see two additional sections in the HR Locker RTR section. Currently, it has "Goals" but I would also like to see a section for "Competencies" and "Learning & Development Needs" - this would give a clearer picture for both the employee and the manager.

Hi Lorraine, Thank you so much for your feedback! The email should be able to sync with Gmail so I will get one of the guys to follow up with you. We have done some recent updates to the RTR section which I think might solve your problem so Ill get them to chat about that with you as well! Crystel Rynne

HR Locker is very user friendly as an employee.

- Some of the reports were blank when generated e.g. time-on reports - The programming behind the fields is not always accruate e.g. user cancels a week's holidays, the time-off field is updated (i.e. it is cancelled and the balance is updated accordingly), however, in the time-on field, those days that were booked as holidays continue to show as the generic day time 9am - 5.30pm when the typical visible...

Thank you Rabia for taking the time to give us feedback. We are always here to help, I will make sure that support follows up with you in regards to any issues that you are having!

It's an easy way for employees and managers to request/approve/monitor leave. It avoids confusing spreadsheets. This is especially good for staff who's hours do not vary (ex. Salaried Staff working set hours). HR Docs makes it easy to ensure staff compliance with Essential Documents that require staff signatures. All 'HR' file information is now paperless and compliant with GDPR. Cost effective (easy to show cost/benefit given the efficiency is creates) HR Locker has reacted very quickly to the global pandemic and made very quick changes to the product that have been useful in the situation.

We don't use a clock/in clock out system so the leave management isn't perfect (I have to use some workarounds). It's difficult to edit annual leave/sick leave once entered (it has to be deleted and re-entered). There are not many custom options to include/change as needed. What you see is what you get. Up until very recently, there hasn't been a lot of noticeable change to the system (PRO - over the past 4-6 months there have been several really impactful updates/changes).

Thank you Hiliary for your feedback, we are always here to help! I will pass on your feedback to see how we can improve the HRLocker experience for you! :)

The software is easy to use and users require very little training to get up and running. The system's reporting feature has been further developed to allow for additional reports which are useful for management review. Finally, the software is produced, developed and supported from Co Clare and we were conscious about supporting Irish business.

The annual leave setting for part time workers is tricky to manipulate through HRLocker are applying a fix for this. The Real Time Review feature caused us some issues early on to the point where we chose not to introduce it to the business until further development work had been applied. That said, we are testing it again right now and it does appear more user friendly {with some anomalies still be be explained}.

Thank you Elaine for taking the time to complete this review. You have been a great customer to work with and please don't ever hesitate to contact us if you need anything, we are always happy to listen to any requests. :)

We were looking for a software system that would be easy to implement but also streamlined our HR business function. HR Locker was very easy to grasp and the support provided at the implementation stage was second to none. The HR Locker team are always contactable and happy to help! The system has helped us streamline our HR processes and improve communication across the business.

Email formatting on HireLocker is temperamental at times

Hi Aisling, thank you for taking the time to review HRLocker. I will have a look at those emails for you and get a resolution for you !

ease of use interface not trying to do everything - just what is does well

No performance/appraisal module - just reminders and document storage Would like better dashboards

Thank you Jonathan for your positive feedback. We have launched a new Performance Management module. I will get one of the team here to give you a call to show you through it and hopefully it will be what you are looking for!

Easy to use, provides all the functions needed of a HR system, Simple design

Cant allocate administrators to see only some information

Hi Treasa, thank you for your feedback. I am sure that we can solve your issue in regards to admin access. I will get Sinead here to contact you to discuss. :)

Ease of reporting, and logging leave requests for staff

Not being able to delete TOIL automatically

Hi Emma, Thank you so much for your feedback. We are always looking to improve and always take on board your feedback. I hope you are happy with the reason changes to TOIL.

Product is very straight forward and easy to use, in particular for employees (i.e logging annual leave, sick leave). I enjoy the personal touch HR Locker has to offer and have found their customer service to be extremely helpful and has a fast response.

The 2 things I like the least are related to Hirelocker and are more visual issues than effecting how the system actually works. Firstly how jobs appear on the our own website. While there is an option to change font and colour etc in Hirelocker, we are not an overall fan of the look and feel it doesn't fit in with the website. Greater ability to edit this layout would be much appreciated however I am not sure if it's possible. The second thing is how emails appear from candidates on Hirelocker. Often they can look a bit skewed which isn't ideal. A clearer layout would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Nicola for taking the time to record your feedback. I will have a look at those emails for you and see can we make them better for you. Crystel Rynne

Vert easy to use, easy to navigate and easy to upload documents

not so much as what I don't like but I would like to be able to navigate to a specific page a lot easier ( page number instead of having to go to the last page and then navigate 2 pages at a time. Also, the search function needs to be made easier and a few little niggles ironed out but in general very happy with the system

Thank Adrien for the feedback! I'll get one of the guys here to touch base with you and chat with you what you think might make the navigation easier. Always happy to get a user input! Regards, Crystel Rynne

The hire feature is good. I also like the org chart feature.

Time off customisation could be improved. Overall look of the software. Time off section easier, currently feels a little crowded and not user friendly.

HRLocker allowed our company to automate our HR processes across the board from recruitment, CPD, leave management, Performance Reviews to onboarding. Our employees and managers have experienced the benefits of a one stop shop.

It is changing quite a bit as the team make improvements and so at times I feel we have just been getting used to a new feature or screen and then it changes again.

Hi Aoife, thank you for taking the time to review HRLocker, I will take your feedback on board about the new releases! And if there is ever anything you need please feel free to reach out! Crystel Rynne

getting reports in just few taps is my favorite thing.

we cant see previous year public holiday list while adding list for new year, which cause a problem a couple of time.

Hi Gitanjali, thank you for taking the time to review us! I will get one of the guys here to reach out to you about the public holidays, we are always happy to hear from users and to improve the product for you! Regards, Crystel Rynne

Its handing having one tool for both managing time and requesting annual leave time. It connects together and automatically fills your days off as AL. Being able to keep company policy document on the platform is helpful as well for getting signatures.

I dont have any draw backs to this platform, its an easy to use solution.

It is a easy software, all the features are excellent: applicant tracking ,recruiting ,timesheets , onboarding...

I would like better dasboard. But in general I could recommend it . Support service is also very helpful.

Thank you Bryan for the feedback on HRLocker, we are doing some great updates on the dashboard, and would love your input! I will get one of the guys to reach out to you, Regards, Crystel Rynne

Time management and HR section has proven to be very beneficial from a working time regulations perspective and monitoring purpose. Structures record keeping and is a good central point for sharing staff information .

I have no areas that I could comment on in relation to the Cons.

This has all the HR related function which is required in organization like recruitment , onboarding, time on and time off management, performance management and others. It make your HR online so it will be easy to use and also reduce human effort, time, money and also reduce the chances of error. It will generate report so you can easily validate it and analyze it as per the requirement. Best thing about this that you can choose package according to your requirement.

As of now I didn't find any cons and I hope they will work like that in future as well.

I find it very user friendly and set up in a very intuitive way to users

I would like more in depth reporting - report building options

Hi Clare, thank you for taking the time out to review HRLocker. If you need any help with anything let us know! Crystel Rynne

Its user friendly and not very complicated to use. Which makes it easy to roll out to Business. Being able to produce reports to the business has been useful and for the HR team its great we can now start looking at data and using it to solve HR problems. It allows us to be more efficient.

Some features which would be good to have are 1. It would be good to be able to set up automatic emails at certain points such as a new starter email to send to managers 2. it would be good to be able to attach some documents to the automataic emails that go out 3. Another gender neutral field is needed

Leave management is very good and clear.

Staff directory, too many obstacles to manage leavers, should be significantly more intuitive and guided. This is becoming an issue that may cause a switch in provider.

Very straigth forward, easily customizable, even if not using all features

layout of the screens and simplicity of use can be further improved

Thank you Sylvia for your review. We are always here to help you if you ever need anything!

Ease of use, at the click of a button we can pull reports, find information needed etc. The follow up support, so far, has been exemplary.

Some features are time consuming, and could be improved. e.g. dropdown menus - when you have to untick the options you don't want, much handier to just tick the option you need. Drag and drop would also save time

Easy to you, updates are effortless, changing admin levels is easily accessed which is less hectic & more efficient.

Customer service could step it up a notch. Never received bad customer service but it was a bit lax.

Hi Jessie, thank you for your feedback, sorry to hear that none of the team have reached out to you! I will make sure one of the guys here gets in touch. If there is ever anything you need please feel free to get in touch, Crystel Rynne

Time off feature is most impactful. Timesheets are useful. Useful for sending documents to employees to sign

there are no aspects currently found to be difficult to use with this software
