Guru.com vs. SAP Fieldglass

VERY useful for small companies where one person does an entire job/task. May be less useful for larger companies, as it would be difficult to maintain, and there are usually teams to cover the slack. Also good for tech purposes. Our tech people constantly create Guru cards in order to help us learn to do back-end things.

SAP Fieldglass helps our company to efficiently manage external workforce, reduce costs, ensure compliance with labor laws and improve overall productivity. It integrates seamlessly with SAP and other enterprise resource planning systems. It also easily connects with human resources management systems for a unified view of the workforce. It monitors and manage budgets for projects and departments using temporary workers.

• The segmentation of information into Collections, boards and individual cards allows you to keep a good control and organization of information contained within.
• An add-on app for Slack and a Chrome extension mean you don't even need to have the Guru.com site open to still be able to access all of your stored information.
• The ability to allow some or all users to create & edit cards adds value and strengthens the team collaboration.

Incentivized

• Contingent labor process, starting from the job posting to final candidate onboarding
• Supplier and Customer collaboration options in the system
• Configuration options for customers
• Management of service delivery and service contract setups
• Option to establish a true end-to-end process (from source2contract to final payment)

• Relatively high fees taken out of earnings
• Fake clients still get through, which causes a headache
• Having to pay to get your bid higher up in the list of freelancers makes it even more costly

Incentivized

• The simple display and way you navigate the jobs page is not very intuitive. There could be better information displayed than what is there, and it doesn't always make sense in how you move from one page to another.
• I really don't like the requirement of the last 5 digits of a candidate's social security number for the "Security ID." Some candidates are reluctant to give that out, when paired with their birth day (also required). I'm not sure why this couldn't be a different piece of information - last 5 of the primary phone number, for example.
• Some of the field are not well-defined. For example. there is a Resume field, then an Attachments field. And the rate section isn't 100% clear, especially when entering overtime rates or discounted rates.

Incentivized

Again, Fieldglass is a strong contender but Fieldglass can be difficult at times to work with and not as supportive as I'd like. As so, I'd be willing to try Beeline or other top competitors

Great SAP system to use on multiple project data protection and preparation of clear reports and financial analytics gathering the SAP solution is effective.
