Pros

“The data and insights provided, view of candidate pipelines, the integration with third party platforms.”
AO

Andy O.

“It's a great platform for tracking the application status and with a variety of resources for job seekers.”

Aroob A.

Web Developer

“SmartRecruiters gelped alot with our recruitment processes and our candidate profile was very easy to access”
YO

Yewande O.

HR Coordinator

Pros

“The self-service portal for staff has been a nice addition too, people can check their pay stubs, request time off, and update their info without having to go through HR for everything.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Blake A.

It Technician

“Seamless Transitions: When an HR admin marks a candidate as "hired" in the Recruiting module, their data flows instantly into Payroll and Onboarding.”
jt

jarvis t.

Support Coach

“Also, all my training modules are still available in the same area where my payment information resides and most importantly, no spreadsheets were harmed during the transition to Paycor.”
DM

Donnie M.

Chief Revenue Officer

Cons

“Some of the different task like creating reports and reviewing schedules/interviews could not be customized.”
BH

Bhumi H.

Operations Specialist

“They deleted the account for all team members, the job post that we had and all the information about the applicants, while we still had the openings, so that meant we lost all follow-ups, CVs, all communications with almost 80% of the applicants, their customer service have not given a response yet, we called them, no one available, all day long, no one!”
ME

Mario E.

Quality Manager

“One other drawback was that some candidates were rejected, and they were still able reapply reversing the first/last name. ”
KS

Karleen S.

Human Resources Branch Manager

Cons

“The reporting tools are functional but building custom reports isn't the most intuitive process and it often takes more trial and error than it should.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Blake A.

It Technician

“Some parts of the system can feel less intuitive than they could be, and navigating between candidate records and different hiring workflows occasionally takes more clicks than expected.”
MO

Michael O.

Communications Manager

“Any request, even basic ones, requires hours of follow ups, explanations, and escalations, and many issues still remain unresolved. If you choose Paycor, be prepared to spend at least five hours trying to fix problems that should be straightforward, with no guarantee they will be resolved.”
