The software was easy to use and guided me through the process quickly. It felt like I was able to complete the process quickly and already feel connected to the company. I especially liked that it didn't feel like an external platform to Eaze and showed me who I'd be working with.
I didn't like how the profile page mixed fun personal questions with serious private information. It was jarring and confusing.

Like the title says, when it works, it works, but the kinks we experience hold it back from being a better system
When everything is set up, Sapling allows for a pretty smooth workflow when hiring new hires for your company
It feels like there are a few kinks to work out. I have seen issues where signed candidate documents are wiped, requiring new hires to resign the documents.

Sapling was very intuitive and easy to navigate. Didn't have to think very much and could find what I was looking for.
My experience was very walled in so I really don't know much else about Sapling except for what I was using it for (onboarding).
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Sapling with us. We are glad to hear that Sapling was a valuable resources as you went through your pre-boarding and onboarding. We hope it continues being a resource for you.

Gives new hires a good first experience and interaction with the company. Great way to streamline new hire documents and introduce the team before the candidate arrives for their first day.
Does not play nice with other programs. We use a lot of different programs and it would be great if Sapling was more willing to share basic information with other programs.
We value you feedback and thank you for taking the time. We are glad to hear that Sapling has helped you streamlined your employee experience. But we also want to address your inquiry regarding different programs. Sapling is always to looking to integrate with other platforms and expand our integrations.

As a new employee coming from much smaller organizations in the past, it was extremely helpful to have all of my on boarding information in one place along with a step by step guide for tasks I needed to complete. The site is really easy to navigate, and having the company directory at my fingertips has made early communication with the team much easier.
Ease of navigation, step by step guide for on-boarding,
I haven't experienced any issues or downside of the software yet.

Happily moved through the information without problem or confusion on first introduction, without any bug or glitch setbacks.
Easy design allows smooth advancement, easily understood and straight forward while comprehensive.
While easily used, some basic buttons are not in stereotypical placement, like chat window close button. May confuse the less savvy individual on first introduction.

The easiness of using Sapling is great for a first time user.
The clean and clear background of the software.
For someone who is new to using this software, I did not see anything that I would change about my experience.
Congrats on the new role and thanks you for your kind words. The team here at Sapling is dedicated to helping new hires feel right at home and have visibility into everything that they need to complete prior and after to their first day.

It was easy to use, clear in terms of what was required and how much was left to do, and offered a pleasant user experience.
It did accidentally clear out a form box when I uploaded my profile pic! But that was a minor issue.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are happy to hear that you had a great user experience. Regarding your minor issue, we know this can frustrating and have improved our pre-boarding experience.

My pre-onboarding and currently my Onboarding experiences were more seamless due to Sapling's easy UI and integration with other platforms.
Intuitive UI; integration with Google calendars for tasks.
When initially filling out all pre-employment onboarding activities ... my information was not saved and I had to fill all info out a second time. I assume this was just a glitch.

10/10 - super fast and easy to use.
Super organized and good flow. Was easy to navigate forwards or backwards to correct things and great for getting everything in one place for the onboarding process.
Had to refresh some pages to keep things moving.
We are glad to hear that Sapling has been useful to you as you were being onboarded. We hope that Sapling continues to bring you value throughout your employee lifecycle.

I'm a senior financial consultant joining a software firm and utilized Sapling as part of my pre-boarding process. A good experience to start my new work.
Most professional on-boarding process I've ever been part of. Very straight forward and intuitive. Has a eye catching interface and the process was seamless.
Nothing was essentially difficult, although I did have an issue getting through one screen.

First time using this product. It was super easy to use and very easy to understand.
The Saving feature was not properly implemented. A lot of the times, when I shifted between Steps/Pages, the fields I had filled out were cleared and need to do it all over again. This is an extreme inconvenience when you expect services such as these to save fields when toggling between pages.

I was using it for hiring purpose and easy way plus time saver
I dont need to take so many print outs and fax it to them or email them easy way to fill information
little hard to do signature part because of little less space I guess
Thank you sharing your experience with how Sapling has helped improved your internal processes. We hope that as you continue using Sapling, we help you refocus from people admin to people strategy.

Great software idea for pre boarding.
It is a really good idea to make the pre boarding process efficient Gives you an opportunity to know your team before the first day Also, easy way to communicate with other before your first day
Some time a little buggy. The comments section and tasks sections was stuck and I had to refresh. Lost my comments and had to re-enter.

Sapling had a lot more capabilities than our previous HR software, and it was nice not to have to have too many other services.
I wasn't always clear on how to use Sapling-- it could do so many different things but that also made it a bit overwhelming as an end-user sometimes.

I used the product as a new employee for onboarding.
Using Sapling was so easy. It is quite user friendly and seamless. What a refreshing change from filling out mundane paperwork the old fashioned way.
There was a chat window that popped up and I kept looking for an "X" to close it. I looked above the window instead of below...totally my fault.

User friendly and great experience.
The ease of use. Directions were easy to follow and process was very clear.
Lack of tool-tips. I wasn't sure how to download the files I wanted (i.e. Employee Handbook), so when I tried hovering over icons (I now assume it is the chat icon) to see if I could click to download, a tool-tip was not offered.

Fast and easy.
Easy to use and it let upload an image of my own signature
The background search documents requires 7 years of past residency addresses, but only allows a handful of fields to complete. The instructions tell you to attach additional documentation for more addresses , but I was not able to attach anything.

The ease of the interface was very impressive. Very clean design and overall appearance. Clear directions as to what was next.
I accidentally had a refresh happen and lost a handful of data previously entered. I don't know if that is for security purposes, but it was annoying to have to re-enter everything.

Overall it was a great onboarding experience! Fun and easy to understand.
I Liked how user friendly the software was! I like the step by step walk throughs and it was very straight forward. Easy to understand.
I did not like that I had to go back and go through everything again each time I exed out of the window.

Onboarding for my new job and it was super easier and cool to use Sapling to create all the required forms and my employment profile. So much easier and quicker than filling out forms by hand. Very cool tech!
It didn't seem to work as well on my iPad as it does my laptop sadly.
