JazzHR vs. Paycom

Since it allows you to tag candidates based on their level of talent or potential utility to the company, it is best used to identify the best prospects in large operations, such as multi-franchise oriented businesses that cover all kinds of sales. It can be used to make periodic assessments of the level of employee growth in certain departments, and based on the results let us know if certain employees would do better working in another type of area, so that the overall work operations are more uniform. JazzHR could excel in departments that use a high level of reporting, as its administrative tools provide high content reports with statistics on the performance of each employee or candidate at different levels.

The system contains a vast amount of information, and the entire thing flows seamlessly from one form to the next. When you set things up properly, you can automate several other entries to be updated by just changing one piece of data. The system speeds up your own processes and can reduce your workload in an instant.

• Customizable fields for the applicant/candidate process.
• Easily tag managers on comments for candidates.
• Send emails to candidates easily through the system.
• Easy to see duplicate candidates and delete or merge their files.
• Can assign stars to candidates and managers can vote on a candidate through the system.
• Can set up Questionnaires to help screen candidates.

• Their software is top notch! Extremely user friendly.
• Their customer service is great. You most always speak to the same person on your "team" they designate to you.
• They have so many "standard" reports set up in their system, ones so specific, you would think they know HR a little ;)
• Year End Tax time, has been breeze with Paycom. W2's come with no issues, reporting, etc.
• Their benefit coordinators are extremely knowledgable of benefits and they make enrollments so seamless!

Incentivized

• The integration of the other systems such as Payroll, HR systems and operations are not easy to set and not all systems are compatible.
• Should improve compatibility with Microsoft Teams
• Some processes require more steps and become more tedious than in other solutions

Incentivized

• GL set up can be clunky until you understand how it works.
• Be able to edit document types. I made an entire document then realized I attached it incorrectly and had to start over.
• Advanced Report Writer would be nice to combine multiple areas into one report easily.

It worked well for the majority of our needs and is still in use even though I've left the company. The Resumator was an interim solution until we found a system that integrated with all our other internal systems. However, we ended up staying with it because of ease of use

We've made the mistake of moving away from Paycom to a PEO which had made a lot of promises, that they could not keep. Less than a year after that transition, we returned to Paycom and are happier than ever.

It's not a 10 due to the eTemplates. If those were less time-consuming to set up and if some common forms were available to select from already set up, then I would give it a 10.

Incentivized

The system is very user friendly. Once you navigate where your information is stored under the forms you are golden. While the training amplified my capabilities and knowledge, I could have jumped into the system without and training and managed just fine. This probably one of my favorite parts about Paycom!

They are very dependable and I have never experience any outages

Yes, Paycom's performance is excellent, no issues.

Each person I've spoken to have been helpful, positive and encouraging. Once you begin using JazzHR, they have intervals in which they reach out to you to see how you're doing or if you have any questions. When you're setting up, they review what you've done and offer praise as well as suggestions on how to make it work better for you. They offer webinars and online training videos to walk you through every process.

Our TSR has been wonderful to work with. Every step of the
way he was quick to respond and answer any questions we had. I knew I could
reach him at any time (day or night) and he would be available to assist.
Implementing a new HRIS system is obviously a huge task and I contribute all
our success to our rep Kurt! Of course, with any implementation, there were
bumps along the way and issues. But I always knew we would work as a team to
get those issues figured out. Working in the Paycom system has been smooth and
easy to learn and I enjoy the employee self-service interface. Our managers
have had positive things to say and are all excited about the changes we have
been able to make to our organization due to Paycom being implemented.

They were a sales person and not really a good trainer.

All the online training modules were short and straight to the point. Every module teach you how to use the system. If there is one thing they know how to do is training. We did implementation during the pandemic so all had to be done online or via zoom meetings.

A solutions consultant walked me through each step. It was easy. As I progressed in setting things up, their support contacted me to set a time to walk through any possible issues and make suggestions on a better way to set it up. At any time, if I had a question, they were available and there are also training documents and videos available.

Not at all satisfied it was a nightmare we spent over 8 months with the implementation team having issues after issues all related to the Puerto Rico regulations (half my employees are in Puerto Rico) and at the end we were moved over from the implementation team to the production team without all the issues being resolved

Both Greenhouse and Lever at least seemed to have great products and great teams; they simply weren't worth 2-5X the cost for us. Now, let's be clear - a platform that helps you hire the best people is a certainly worth 2-5X (or perhaps 10X) the cost. However, for most small and medium businesses, the three platforms are very similar. Once you have ~100s of different positions or ~100,000 applicants, then a more advanced ATS could be worth the cost. For us, Jazz is excellent. We have about 8 types of roles and 250 employees, and we see the Jazz system working very well for us even as we grow to 1,000+ employees.

The company already had the system in place when we merged with them. Upon learning the new system and transferring all the data correctly, I found it was easy to use, navigate and control. Even though I left that company there were very good products that I wished the new system had and don't. Honestly there is no system that will work 1000% as the data entered sometimes is not correct.

They are not able to meet our current needs

• This cuts down immensely on staff time needed in the total recruiting process. Has probably saved at least 1/2 person.
• Trees are being saved since we don't have to print as much! :)
• Consistency is so important in the HR field. Jazz HR makes this easy.

Incentivized

• Saved time, 2 person HR department so time is limited. With reduced time for onboarding we have been able to focus on other areas.
• Improved employee satisfaction- employees enjoy the ease of use of the system and the ability to use on their phones.
• Reduced background check/drug screening costs- prior providers were absorbent in the amount we paid compared to Paycom.
