Oracle HCM is very much helpful and well suited in the recruitment and placement process and HR data. It makes it easier for HR in [organizations] to keep track of who is in and out of the [organization]. Improvement can be made by allowing employees to record their own data and update it as and when necessary without having to go through HR first.
Paylocity is great if you want an all in one type of system. You can literally use it for everything if you company is smaller or has more low key policies/reviews/etc. We've found the reviews to be very difficult to use based on the questions that we as a company use. We've also had some issues with Payroll and PTO accrues from time to time. If you have a larger company, I would verify that all of these items are more simple then hard
Government entities share data readily on applicants and HCM doesn't make it easy to have applications transferred between organizations. If applicants could apply once and send that application to multiple entities that would really make it more appealing to clients. This is a niche that is currently filled with NEOGOV, however Oracle's analytics are far superior to those in NEOGOV
There are no customizations allowed so clients need to work within the configuration standards or create a bolt on. Many times your greatest asset is also one of your biggest weaknesses.
Oracle is a large company and sometimes it can be hard to navigate the support matrix that they have set up. They also have tiers of support so you can pay more to get more, which isn't optimal from a customer point of view.
Employee portal is not easy to navigate for employees. It's repetitive in fields and not clear on how to find what you need and update.
Customer service follows scripts rather than critically thinking. Even when the issue is clearly lined out. Causing a delay in solutions and multiple emails. The more difficult the problem, the more likely you are to get "lost" in the queue.
Their contract and onboarding was not clear on the package and products you receive. We thought our pricing included features that it didn't and then other features we thought we were getting were only free trials and we would have to pay additional costs to continue (which we didn't find out until we received a notice our trial was ending).
There are three different views (HR, Payroll, general search) that are confusing to understand. This is used I assume to be able to separate payroll and HR users. There is a lot of duplicate information across the different views and they are used on the employee level as well which is confusing for the employee. It would be nice if duplicate fields were under one umbrella and titled the same across.
User settings are hard to update and you have to fill out a form every time. Half the time the user setting updates aren't accurate and we have to submit another form. It's time consuming and not clear.
Taleo does what we need it to do and based on the costs from both a time and money perspective, I don't see us changing anytime soon. If anything I think we will look to leverage the capabilities available that we may not already be using.
We gave an 8 rating because I believe there are simple improvements Paylocity could make that would make a world of difference in an admins every day work world. We will probably renew because we are already familiar with Paylocity and how it works. It would a huge change to bring in a different HR & Payroll system at this point
After the initial training's, it was quite intuitive to use the application. The application is based upon best practices and the overall flows are quite logical. The train stop approach also ensures that users understand where they are in the process cycle. Also, the number of clicks have been greatly rationalized to ensure that there is more streamlined experience.
If you are attempting to do something unfamiliar, you can either use their Help button to access a large database of articles, including "how to" documents, or call their help desk. Their help desk is based in the U.S. and they are usually willing to spend however long it takes to get you the answers you are looking for. It was based on these two aspects of customer service that we decided to add them as our Time & Labor tracking provider, after considering other options. We had been using Paylocity HR & Payroll with a different provider for eight years before making the switch.
It works well. However we recently discovered that it no longer is supported on Internet Explorer so we had to change the default browser for everyone in our organization to MS Edge.
The rating is based upon our current level of support. The overall experience has vastly changed since we moved into product paid support. 'Also, with Oracle going with the model of quarterly patches, it makes sense to have the product company provide support to the overall application thereby eliminating the problems of bugs.
The timing is SLOW for response. I rarely if ever get a same day response any more, and there are times I have had to reach back out about a problem 3 days later in order to get a resolution. We never have the same customer service rep for any length of time. I feel I need to start from scratch with any person I speak with on the phone. It feels like Paylocity has gone to a tracked CS system- and my tickets are often closed out before a solution has been made. Significant decline in Paylocity CS over the last 3 years. No sign of an increase in CS either
There is a lot of potential on Fusion. We have reaped about 10% of potential benefits. Especially on Workforce Intelligence, the opportunities are huge. The reason why we do not use the solution at its full potential is not in the product (which is simple and transparent). A roadmap is under construction to bring more of its potential to the end user.
I would make sure you have a dedicated team at Paylocity to complete the implementation. We had staff from Paylocity quit and things were not completed properly. They dropped the ball so to speak on that portion of it. we have encountered multiple issues since then and are still not using the Time off tracking to its full capabilities.
Firstly, create a template for the data of human resources to be filled by the client with help from us, then We transformed the paperwork, excel, word sheets, did data cleansing and refined the data, and matched data with the correct fields inside the template and imported the data to oracle cloud hcm by using human capital management data loader
I was not involved in the selection process but have used both ADP and PeopleSoft in previous roles. PeopleSoft does allow for more customization and they both provide more comprehensive data, but both are also not as user friendly for employees as Paylocity
We were not good at tracking any numbers around recruiting so now this last year we have been able to set the benchmark that we now can work toward improving.
At any given time, we could not say how many open positions we had. Now we are able to keep track of that.
We do a much better job with communicating with candidates now, especially the ones not selected. This will help us maintain a better reputation and attract the candidates back for other jobs they may be a better fit for in the future.
Missed punches, incorrect punches have went down considerably (from what I have seen).
More reliable source for handling payroll taxes than previously; which can save on errors and penalties (and time lost on dealing with them later).
More accurate and consistent processes, all completed in one place; rather than in multiple systems or ways (once I get everything up and running as I want).
