Likelihood to Recommend From an HR standpoint, Human Interest was a seamless integration for our company. It has also been easy for us, as far as regular maintenance because there is nothing that we need to do when we have a new hire come aboard. Human Interest does all of the work for us and without the need for micromanagement. In my position, there is not a single scenario that I can think of where Human Interest is not well suited for a business of our size and type
Read full review Isolved is great with payroll and payroll changes as well as onboarding. Our benefit open enrollment went well and for the most part was stress free, there were a few hiccups with our 3rd party supplemental insurances. Because of their complexity and they way they are processed through payroll there was a little confusion and things needed to be adjusted. But due to the flexibility of the system the issues didn't become big problems.
Read full review Pros They sold us very well in the beginning and the original sales rep brought in his manager which also helped answer questions our executives had. Ease of use for employees seems great. Walking through as an employee is simple and quick. All electronic paperwork is great. Sending reminder emails to sign up for the 401(K) is a great feature that's easy to use. I have used these a lot! Read full review Payroll Processing (timely and accurate). Customer Service (dedicated account service representative, who gets to know your company's needs). Payroll Reports (accurate, timely, extensive, exhaustive, customizable). Employee Information (accurate reporting of the data, easily viewable information, information presented in a streamlined fashion). Read full review Cons We purchased concierge service, but contact person changes frequently, and getting support when we need it is sometimes spotty. Sometimes features of the admin dashboard / portal don't work correctly. When contact person changes for concierge service, typically we're not notified, and we don't know who to contact when an issue comes up. Read full review More reminder notifications would be great! A way to email hiring managers and our IT department at the same time with a template would save us from so much email communication Transfer all attached documents such as interview notes from iHired applicants to isolved employee documents would save us time uploading into multiple places Read full review Likelihood to Renew We will drop Human Interest as soon as they rectify their error in withdrawing $3600 in additional fees earlier this year
Read full review Due to the continued problems (time clock disconnects, regular post-update issues) and users' negative attitude, we are unlikely to renew. Another important factor is that TF is US-centric, so it does not account for local Philippine specifics, which is important to us.
Read full review Usability The platform fully integrates with our payroll system and makes onboarding and management of plan participants extremely easy for our team. The portal is super easy for all employees to use and feel comfortable rather than intimidated with their retirement account
Read full review It is very intuitive and user friendly. iSolved is always updating and improving things before they even become a problem. I like how they inform us of the new updates and provide us with the details of what is changing and how it will improve the usuage.

Read full review Payroll due dates and send to us at the beginning of the year, with email reminders for holidays. The support email address is fairly fast, within 24-48 hours. But if something is needed immediately, I can just call and they help me out right then.

Read full review We do not use the integration, so we have a csv file that I upload manually for payroll. That is our decision based on the software at our restaurants. Pages loaded fairly quickly, but reports to pdf lag about 15-20 seconds
Read full review Support Rating They have a general support email that doesn't provide a case when an email is sent. I had to email multiple times to have an issue addressed which was frustrating and impacted the rating above. Human Interest doesn't have specific account managers which means that it is especially important that the support team is responsive to questions, otherwise, it is unclear if a problem is being worked on. On the other hand, their support team proactively reached out to communicate that an employee of ours was eligible for an additional contribution as they were over 50 years old. Our payroll system had capped the individual's contribution at $19K which is the current year max for most individuals. Human Interest let us know about the additional contribution availability enabling us to quickly update the employee record for future payrolls.

Read full review In-Person Training All over the phone, but it was comprehensive.
Read full review Online Training We loved taking the course, we went through most of them before we went live and I believe that was very helpful. The online training helped us learn to navigate in the program. We still refer to the training and assign our managers and supervisors to it as well. I highly recommend using it. We have also been able to attend the Connect Conferences with are extremely valuable and we learn tips and tricks to help us better utilize our system.
Read full review Implementation Rating We didn't realize the timewise federal guidelines take to transfer assets from one group to another.
Read full review The system was very cumbersome setting up as well as time consuming. There were times I just wanted to walk away and sometimes I did have to get up and walk away for a break and come back with a fresh perspective. The setup took me over a period of two to three months getting it to serve the purposes that we needed it two. I am very intuitive when it comes to computer software however getting all the right buttons checked in order for it to do what I needed didn't always work.
Read full review Alternatives Considered In my other profession, CPA, I have worked with and been involved with numerous other 401K Plan providers. Paychex, Ascensus, Modern Woodman, etc. Some have been very time consuming from implementation to ongoing contributions. Human Interest is a quality organization and has a great platform with easy access and reporting. No heavy lifting and no ongoing tedius work.
Read full review I went with iSolved because the people I spoke with were all quick to answer and very thorough in their responses. I knew they could help me build my setup the way I wanted it, and not just force me to work within some pre-set parameters once I had signed the contract.
Read full review Contract Terms and Pricing Model Price increases do happen every year. I understand that the cost of living rises, but every year to us is a bit excessive.
Read full review Scalability Human Interest is well set up.
Read full review We are a company of about 135 people at 9 locations in 2 towns. We were able to set locations and departments, and also have each location seperate so only that manager can see their employees.

Read full review Return on Investment Our time and effort in managing the 401K plan should be considerably reduced. We have now one contact as opposed to three that we had with our old plan which will help me get answers to questions without having to determine who is in charge of what aspect of the plan. Read full review When we had Paycom, we had 1/4 of our staff that were not logging in and using the system. That number is down to maybe 5% now Employees love having the ability to easily view and verify their timecards prior to payroll submission. Read full review ScreenShots Human Interest Screenshots
