Omnipresent vs. Worksuite

Omnipresent is a great solution for companies looking to grow globally but that don't have the resources or market understanding to open new legal entities in other countries. We found that they beat their competitors when it comes to customer service and employee experience.

We haven't found another system that can do all that Shortlist can do (payments, tax paperwork, profile management, project management, on-boarding, etc...) but it doesn't mean we always love using Shortlist. Shortlist is cumbersome to work in and requires LOTS of redundant clicking. Something as simple as being able to right-click to open on any profile/page/account/link would save hours in a week where as now to get to two side-by-side items on some lists, you have to click back a page, re-load, and scroll down to select the next option. I appreciate that Shortlist manages all the tax paperwork and has created for us a on-boarding system that flows nicely and allows multiple team members to manage their piece of the process.

• The Omniplatform is very user friendly
• Onboarding is quick and easy
• The website is very useful
• The team are very helpful

Incentivized

• Shortlist allows us to pay our freelancers without having to personally manage the back end paperwork of payroll
• Shortlist handles all the year end tax paperwork creation and distribution

Incentivized

• Consistency - There's been a lot of turnover of staff over the past year. It would be ideal to have the same account manager for more than six months.
• In many countries, Omnipresent uses local service providers to employ folks. In those countries, we see really long response times, and the info provided isn't always accurate or easy to understand.

Incentivized

• Shortlist only allows for minor customizations to their platform. It would be great if each company could create their own view/usage set for the system.
• The help chat box needs some work for sure. It takes days for someone to respond if they ever respond and often there is nothing they can do to remedy the issue at hand.
• Payments should be able to be made every day, not just on Fridays.

Depending on the country, other EORs are more economical. Some of their third party providers in country can impact employee experience.

The question doesn't really apply to a service like Omnipresent. If we are speaking about their app, it is easy to use and works fairly well

Customer service is approachable but many times they can't offer solutions quickly enough

Question doesn't apply. Omnipresent is not a SaaS

Omnipresent has a good customer support system. We have been in touch before regarding an employee who needed to be onboarded as quickly as possible (outside of the minimum 2-week onboarding time frame). An issue is that there is no number to call, and we can only rely on emails, which is frustrating when you need to get in touch ASAP. Once we got in contact, they were really helpful.

30-40% of the time there is no response when you contact the chat/help feature. 30-40% of the time if they do respond, it is to say they can't do anything about the issue. Maybe 20% of the time the chat is actually helpful, but that seems like a high estimate when I think about my experience asking for support.

Again, this is not a software system. The question doesn't really apply

Remote, Global Velocity. We choose Omnipresent at the time due to the following reasons: 1) Cheaper. 2) Better customer service (offered a dedicated account manager). 3) Had a presence in all of the countries we wanted to hire an employee. 4) They believed speed was just important as we did when recruiting and hiring someone new. This was an important factor for us making sure we worked with a company who could get an employee signed quickly.

We've never found another platform that does exactly what Shortlist does in terms of payments, taxes, project management, and on-boarding. We use other sites to source our new vendors (like Indeed, craigslist, etc...) but ultimately we direct all those applicants to our onboarding in Shortlist. I wish some of the more "minor" platform issues we've had over the last year were fixed sooner (or fixed at all) but it does the job!

I think the price could be be better for smaller companies with a very Distributed workforce

Question doesn't apply. Omnipresent doesn't offer software as a service

Incentivized

Good as long as there are no issues, but if something arises attention and customer service lack a bit

Incentivized

• We have a greater selection of candidates as we can employ people abroad.
• Efficient billing system - they handle salary payroll.

Incentivized

• Shortlist allows us to pay people and provide tax information which is a positive.
• Shortlist doesn't integrate with many other platforms which causes us huge delays in employee work time which is a negative.
