JobScore
Chose JobScore
Jobscore wins on ease of use and therefore speed to value. Training lift is negligible as most users can get up to speed in a self-guided manner.
Mitratech TalentReef
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
TalentReef is a much more paired down, basic version of both iCIMS and Paylocity; with iCIMS being far and away from the most robust of the three.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
I have used other software in the past for employee management (PeopleMatter) and TalentReef was easy to train with my management staff, easy to use for application management, and had a low error rate. The ratings for applications and questionnaires are helpful when …
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
TalentReef has a better interface than SnagAJob, but that is just about it. SnagAJob did a very good job in applicant flow, however, they also advertise for other companies during the application process which is a major downside to their system.

Newton is far superior not only …
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
We came from Info PeopleAnswers and used their ATS for years. Prior to going to talentReef, we looked at CareerBuilder's ATS and at Snagajob's ATS. At the time, neither had the integrated onboarding and exporting data components. I also like the feature of the posi-fit …
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
Previously we worked with Unicru. I am not sure why we switched, but talentReef has not been a disappointment.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
talentReef is a much better solution as it allows for more dynamic job posting, posting to multiple hiring sites, and streamlined on-boarding process.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
talentReef seemed a better value for the money.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
ADP, Kronos, SAP

For the price, and for what the organization receives, it really is tough to beat talentReef.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef

I have evaluated several other products in the marketplace and I believe that TalentReef continues to outperform its peers in the following areas:

  • customizable to meet the needs of MY business
  • support team available for same day issue resolution
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
talentReef accessibility and easy to use platform benefited the field management the best.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
This is our first ATS and we selected it because of ease of use and price.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
Ease of use, entering data is seamless and functionality is good and saves time. The online hiring paperwork simple for candidates to complete. Reports are easy to create and save. Value for the money is positive and on-boarding of the system was quick and thorough. We selected …
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
Our company has not used a similar program, but we did go through a lengthy process when choosing a vendor. TalentReef's product was more impressive than the others we looked at, but the TalentReef team was what made us choose to partner with them. Again, the culture is …
Paycor
Chose Paycor
Paylocity seems to be an IT company and adds a lot of user feedback into their upgrades and developments.
Chose Paycor
UKG Ready, Employee Navigator and MIP Fund Accounting
Chose Paycor
Paycor is a decent rival at a much lower price point. It has a lot of the functionality of its competitors at a lower price. I believe its general customer service is one of the best that I have dealt with. We don't have personalized customer service reps or teams which can …
Chose Paycor
Paycor was used by my leader in a previous organization and at the time was overall successful.
Chose Paycor
We selected Paycor due to price and the demo website was very user friendly. At the time, we did not realize that the demo site would not be an accurate reflection of what we were purchasing.
Chose Paycor
I have used Full Stack in the past, which isn't listed in the listings. And for the most part, it worked out well, however, it has its far share of issues. It was expensive, but also had some data tacking problems where all of our employees information was messed up.
Chose Paycor
We chose Paycor for its overall value and functionality. Paycor seems to have a clear future for innovations.
Chose Paycor
AS400, JIS, Quickbooks, Viventium
All these systems have their pros and cons. I do prefer Paycor but customer service gap and rising vendor cost is starting to affect loyalty.
Chose Paycor
We selected Paycor because of the user-friendly aspect and the fact that they are willing to work with us on what parts of the software we want to utilize. The price was also a big reason why we choose Paycor.
Chose Paycor
ADP API Central, Gusto and Bigin by Zoho CRM
Chose Paycor
We selected then primarily because of their 360° integration with our 401(k) provider. Additionally, they were reasonably priced.
Chose Paycor
We initially went with them because they were much less expensive. However, this was a case of you get what you pay for.
Chose Paycor
By far the easiest to use system. May not be able to dive into super deep details/advanced features, but easy to use
Chose Paycor
At the time Paycor was the best bang for our buck and was easier to operate than our previous platform.
Chose Paycor
Paycor seems to be the best for other systems integrations and reporting. The easy of set up and integrations into other platforms is great. While the report building is more robust than ADP with and easier approach to creating the reports. I would recommend Paycor over ADP as …
Chose Paycor
ADP was more expensive and we didn't utilize any of the modules because they were all an additional price.

Here we have way more features and it is a lot easier to navigate so it has been helpful to have these features and all in one place rather than using a bunch of other …
Chose Paycor
We are still exploring the differences between ADP and Paycor to determine whether addressing the pain points with a product switch is necessary.
Chose Paycor
The sales team was much better in terms of handling our needs, the products were overall better, and they have an extremely competitive price. We thought that Paycor was the best fit even though they were not the cheapest due to our needs and how they addressed them. It was a …
Chose Paycor
Paycor is what my company chose to use.
Chose Paycor
Paycor is nice from a user perspective. The employees have very easy navigation on their side.

JobScore is good for teams who have several people who interview a candidate. It allows for collaboration between the team as well as with HR on the applicant. JobScore has a good tagging feature that helps the user to remember certain applicants after reviewing a resume or post interview. The post interview scoring is also very helpful and sends reminders so that feedback is given right after the interview so that no information is forgotten

I rarely give 10/10, mainly because I have learned that that we can always learn new things and to grow. Thus, I feel that same applies to Talent Reef. While I struggled a bit in the beginning to use this application, It is probably that struggle that has made me a better user for being so persistent at using it. Now that I have more than just the basics I think for any size company the functionality of the program will work for them.

The Open enrollment tool is excellent. They need to improve the reporting tool and speed up the use of AI. I've seen other system demos and their integration of AI seems sophisticated in comparision to Paycor's. Paycor has integrated some AI into analytics but it lacking in terms of what it can do

Pros
  • Resume grading
  • Post interview feedback and notes
  • Connect applicant resources (LinkedIn, resume, applicant questions)

  • As an Administrator of the talentReef system, I have access to all applicants for every store across our system all in one location.
  • It is a one-stop function for virtually all of our new hire paperwork.
  • We have not gone entirely paperless with our employee files, but talentReef would be of great benefit to us if/when we choose to move in that direction.
  • The system is relatively easy to learn for store users with all levels of digital expertise.
  • The cost to the organization is extremely reasonable.

  • Onboarding works very well for us with a lot of Self-Service for employees it gives us time back and ensures data accuracy is in the employees control.
  • Recruiting works well because it links to specific jobs and automatically posts jobs when an employee is separated from service.
  • Tax filings work fairly well for us and have always been accurate.

Cons
  • Improved mobile experience
Read full review
  • Applicant flow is terrible. You can post jobs on Indeed for free, and receive a better applicant flow than posting through TalentReef. TalentReef was unable to provide any reasoning for this to happen
  • If you want to change/edit your onboarding documents, you need to e-mail them to support. This can sometimes take more than 48 hours to accomplish, and more often than not, was not done as requested
  • Customer Support is terrible. When they respond to you, they do not answer the question fully or provide any alternative solutions
  • Pricing is very high. There are numerous other alternatives in the market that provide better services for half the price

  • Administrative/C-Suite level of canned reports and dashboards
  • Displaying company reminders or documents to sign that are urgent in a way that doesn’t allow an employee to clock out until they have completed the task.
  • More options to build an org chart

The product is really good overall. The customer service is not the best and the benefits administration is kind of painful. However, the good outweighs the bad. We might get a different benefit admin system that can be integrated into Paycor. My controller doesn't want to switch anything for a [long] time.

Glitches. So many glitches. The customer service number provides basic troubleshooting, which doesn’t help; some issues take weeks to resolve, with no apparent reason why they occur. The system does not work on Safari. We have dealt with Payroll not working, which has caused a manual payroll to be run. Paycor representatives do not provide any assistance.

I feel like Paycor is always up and running! If they are planning downtime, they communicate it clearly. Every once in a while, I get something that says the system isn't working but it is usually back up within the hour. I typically find by the time that the employees complain about it, that it is resolved within the system.

For the most part, everything moves super fast. There are a few sections (Expense Management) that sometimes take a bit to load correctly. Or if they are interesting, it takes a minute to talk to each other! But reports are quickly downloaded and available! Even data heavy reports run fairly fast!

I feel like support will transfer you back and forth between departments and put you on hold forever. I believe it is very difficult to see the status of an open ticket. During my experience, it feels like the client has to push all communication and request updates from support regularly.

The training was helpful and covered the basic functionality of the system, but it did not stand out as exceptional. The presenter was knowledgeable and answered questions appropriately, but much of the content felt focused on standard product features rather than our specific business processes and use cases. I would have liked to see more hands-on exercises, deeper workflow examples, and practical demonstrations tied to real-world scenarios. Overall, the training was good and provided value, but there is opportunity to make it more engaging, more customized to our organization, and more impactful for long-term user adoption.

The online training was adequate and covered the core functionality of the platform, but it felt similar to many standard software training libraries available today. The content was easy to access and generally well organized, but it lacked the depth, interactivity, and real-world application needed to make it particularly memorable or impactful. I would have liked to see more role-based learning paths, practical business scenarios, hands-on exercises, and guidance tailored to different user groups. Overall, the training met basic expectations and provided useful information, but it did not differentiate itself from typical web-based training programs offered by most HCM providers.

I've been through a payroll software implementation multiple times in my career, ranging from upgrades to an existing platform to complete replacement of providers. This implementation was the easiest from the standpoint of confidence in my implementation personnel. The implementation consultants at Paycor were AMAZINGLY knowledgeable about the software and offered us advice at every step of the way. We never had any concerns that they didn't know what we wanted or needed.

I gave it a 10 because we only use it across one organization. However, it has allowed us to break it into multiple departments and layers of management. It is also easy for us to utilize across different locations but still under one master company. They have always provided us support when we decide to change something on an organizational level

Return on Investment
  • Highly positive, it allows us to run recruiting efforts with analytics similar to our marketing department
Read full review
  • Our initial ROI was having the ability for our applicants to apply online and move away from paper. This was a must, so we can compete for employees in our area.
  • Our next ROI was improving our onboarding process. The TalentReef onboarding process protects us from having incomplete files and it also saves us labor due to the process being quicker and efficient.

  • By streamlining job postings and candidate tracking Paycor Recruiting has helped shorten the average time to fill for our job postings from an average of 45 days days to 32 days (for certain job postings). This is due to the efficiency of the system when moving candidates through the pipeline.
  • Recruiting costs have lowered due to the systems ability to post openings to multiple job board from one central location. This takes a lot of the administrative burden off recruiters and saves us time on manual follow ups and agency fees.
  • Higher quality candidates! The tools Paycor Recruiting offers has provided the recruiters with a more effective form of evaluation. This leads to more informed decisions which results in better quality hires. When people stay longer this reduces turnover related costs.
