General Manager, Corporate

There is greater clarity for all about their futures and were their development is headed.

We were never good at this in the past. After sales support has  been excellent as you are proactively contacted to ensure you are getting the most from the software.

Senior HR BP

The software is very straightforward to use and has successfully been rolled out to our business with great buy in from staff who previously have not worked with an online system.

Group HR Manager

Peoplestream staff have been a pleasure to deal with, outstanding professionalism, great product.

Sr. Consultant

Our experience has been great, training was excellent and we love the application suite.

Executive Manager, Sales & Marketing

For a business which did not have anything in place previously it has helped is to implement a performance management program which is best of breed and best practice.

HR Business Partner

Mobile option is a great enhancement. Learning & development module integrated with the performance management module is fantastic.

HR/OD Advisor

Feature Rich - excellent customer service - ability to customise as the organisation sees fit. Incredible functionality in terms of end-to-end HR.

Talent Aquisition Specialist 

For us it has improved compliance & cost cost management significantly. Online onboarding - esignature approval is great feature.

Finance Manager

Straightforward, easy to use with good functionality. Taken up well with buy in from all users and positive feedback.

HRBP

The product is expensive for the lack of functionality and the presentation of the modules.

Former HR Manager 

The support we received from representative and the Helpdesk was excellent.

The business has already started seeing some great outcomes and cost savings as a result of having the Peoplestreme software in place.

Managing Director

They seem to worry more about their restructure, than they do solving client issues.

General Manager, HR and Organisational Development

Great piece of software, particularly when it is integrated with payroll software so that new starts and terminations are automatically updated live.

Senior Consultant

With all the new functionality being released it is hard to keep up.

Nothing, other than we wish they had more US based support. Initially we thought we had a lot of bugs, but as it turned out it was more just administrative user error.

Inability to bulk upload all historical data (e.g. Job Ads, Position Descriptions, Resumes). Purchased modules don’t communicate to one another, requiring a increased workload for the HR team.

CollegeOne Suite

Our Customer Success Manager has been a fantastic support for us along this journey. He is very knowledgeable and happy to help in any way. It took us some time to implement due to the project being managed by only one person - but this goes to show that it is a truly scalable solution for large and smaller businesses.
We will soon implement the Learning & Development Module across our teams and know it will lift our training and personal development to a new level with this professional and well-structured solution.

Easy Performance Management

Hi Natasha,

Thanks for your kind words and the trust you put in us. This is the reason we come to work every day and hope the team can continue to add value to Northern Inland Credit Union and the team.

Great affordable product

Overall, my recommendation is to avoid this product, it is not worth the increased administrative burden that the modules come with. The product is expensive for the lack of functionality and the presentation of the modules. 

System lacks basic Functionality & Oversold Product

Streamlined employee on-boarding and administration, greater understanding of employee performance and a platform to manage learning & development, as well as remuneration reviews more effectively

Great cloud based application that manages the whole employee life-cycle for us. 

You should try

Extremely poor.  Leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

Extremely disappointing product, promised the world and delivered very little.

Highly positive relationship developed with Peoplestreme.  Useful tool in the management of high volume recruitment.  Database functions highly useful and efficient for management reporting. Intuitive software, easy to follow and matches our company processes well.  This is one of the reasons why we selected this module for our company.  We have been impressed with the level of customer service and promptness in delivery of troubleshooting.

eRecruitment -  Effective, streamlined recruitment process, Peoplestreme supportive, responsive

Staff engagement and management of performance and development.

Professional, supportive, 

Thanks Laura for your review and compliment. The success could only be achieved because of your guide and help.

Easy to use and value for money

I used PeopleStreme software in a previous role for over 9 years

The software has allowed us to centrally manage our decentralised recruitment process and has significantly reduced our recruitment timeframes. Additionally, the performance module provides an easy and intuitive platform for our staff to capture and record ongoing performance conversations. The reporting functionality also provides easy to access and build reports to demonstrate compliance of all of our staff.

Great product and wonderful service support.

Thanks for the awesome review, Sean! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we¿re happy when we hear we hit the mark for you. Cheers!

Ascender Payroll - sound and proven payroll for complex configuration and requirements

After having worked manually and also with other slow response programs, this one has been extraordinary, efficient, fast and saves me more time for other commercial activities

RCJ Transport Logistics

Excellent working relationship wirh many people inside of Ascender at all levels.

HES Review

Now that we have been through a performance review cycle, the benefits are apparent to everyone, Managers can see how powerful it can be and they want to use it!   We now have plans that are truly tailored to each individual and everyone's KPI's actually link back to our Company Strategic objectives.  There is greater clarity for all about their futures and were their development is headed.  There is greater engagement in general across the board.  We also like to ability to be able to add relevant additional modules as we like as we evolve.

Great value for money, easy to use system - with the option to add modules over time.. 

Staff are friendly. If I have had an issue or question it has been resolved quickly. 

Peoplestreme Review

Implementing this software as a tool in our performance management process  has lead to improvements in alignment, engagement and outcomes.  We are able to easily review progress and take appropriate steps in a timely manner to ensure we are achieving our key objectives.  

 Peoplestream staff have been a pleasure to deal with, outstanding professionalism, great product.

Hi Steve. Thanks for leaving such a glowing review. The team here at PeopleStreme is thrilled to hear such good feedback and we're proud to be helping Emmetts on this journey. 

This software has taken our organization from a paper-based performance system to a streamlined, accountable and precise policy that is easily accessible by me. It removes the manual paperwork and results in improving outcomes, engagement, and alignments. I can review the progress and take necessary steps to make sure we as a team are gaining our  principle objectives.
