Auris vs. Bullhorn Talent Platform

We changed payroll companies from Paycom to Heartland this year at the recommendation of our insurance agent who insisted they would integrate with the EASE system, which tracks employee benefits and deductions. However, 8 weeks into it, I regret my decision, since the setup hasn't been completed yet. The lack of responsiveness in some cases is astounding and often we have to ask 3, 4, and 5 times for something to be done. I hate to think what will happen after we are "handed off" from the payroll implementation team to the regular schmucks. We still are not able to track PTO and time off and we have been begging for the self-service feature to be turned on for employees so they can change addresses, bank account info, etc. Their training is NONEXISTENT and their manual is abysmal. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! I wish I could go back to Paycom!

Bullhorn seems like a really great tool for recruiters. I like the search functionality. It made my job a thousand times easier. Of course, the search doesn't mean much if you don't record as many details as possible for each of your candidates. Seems like it could work well for a large company with lots of recruiters but probably wouldn't be great for a small operation.

• White-glove customer support. All employees are in the United States and they must pay them well, because they don't seem to have turnover there.
• Technology is awesome. We have Payroll, HR, T&A, ATS, and onboarding with them.
• Their Tax Credit tech is amazing. I received more money in tax credits last year than payroll cost me. That's a net positive!
• Compliance with their HR team is great, and they don't hit you over the head on the price for it.
• Pricing is fantastic with a 3-year price lock. No BS discounting that jumps back up a year later.

• An excellent and customizable reporting function
• Very robust database that can handle large amounts of data
• Easy integration of HR and payroll functions

Incentivized

• Sometimes the system (geocode) will not allow me to process address changes by asking for help from our specialist.
• Response for assistance is usually a lot slower when our dedicated specialist is not available.

Incentivized

• Interface looks a little old
• Integration with Slack
• In-platform messaging (It might have this functionality already. I just never used it if so.)

I never have trouble reaching customer support. They always are able to assist with fixing any problems that arise. There honestly haven't been many issues at all. Only ones I've created :)

The Heartland team could care less about how difficult your experience is. In fact, I think they delight in seeing you struggle!

I've considered moving payroll over to QuickBooks Online so that everything is in one place, but it would probably take too much work considering that our current system works really well. I think QuickBooks would confuse me, honestly. There are other systems that offer different user interfaces that are neat looking, but I haven't done too much research because Heartland Payroll offered me a really good deal for processing since we are a small company.

We chose BOND because it had the capacity to handle large amounts of data and because we needed the advanced reporting function. Ultimately, the recruiting functionality was limited compared to other, similar systems - particularly in the integration with Office 365, social media, and MSP sites. We ended up deciding to end our contract with BOND in favor of one which served our recruiting needs better.

Incentivized

• We have a net positive using Heartland. We actually bring more money in from their tax credits than the payroll service actually costs.
• I used to have a part-time person handing our payroll/HR needs. Now this is done by me because it's so easy.

• Faster turn around time to find candidates
• Better organization to ensure opportunities aren't falling through the cracks
• Fast profile creation with drag and drop resume
