Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

We use Ceridian Dayforce for Timekeeping and Payroll, Recruiting, Hiring and Onboarding, and just started using the Hub feature. Before implementation, we had a number of separate programs that required integration, i.e., one program for payroll and timekeeping, one program for people management, one program for Recruiting, etc. Now, with a few exceptions (we are not currently able to use the Scheduling module for our needs), everything is managed within one system.

There are many benefits to using Dayforce, especially on the Payroll side. However, there are some major drawbacks/limitations, especially with regards to the Recruiting module and features that are commonplace with Applicant Tracking Systems.

Overall, Dayforce has moved our organization in a good direction, but their sales team provided inaccurate information during the discovery and implementation phase, and Support takes a long time to respond to and resolve tickets.
  • Online Training Resources
  • Suggestions/AHA Portal
  • Hub Feature
  • Recruiting Module
  • Letter Template Customization
  • Use of Preferred Name Throughout System
  • Due to Candidate Deactivation and record retention requirements, have had to implement back-up system for candidate data, resulting in additional hours of tracking that should be unnecessary.
  • Better communication between Recruiting, HR and Payroll for new hires.
  • More candidates completing onboarding materials via Getting Started.
It is much preferred to have one system for payroll, HR, time and benefits, etc. versus staff needing to navigate through many different programs. Even with the flaws observed with the Recruiting module, which seems to have been added as an afterthought, payroll and timekeeping, along with hiring and onboarding, work the way they're intended.

Do you think Dayforce delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Dayforce's feature set?

Yes

Did Dayforce live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Dayforce go as expected?

No

Would you buy Dayforce again?

Yes

Ceridian Dayforce has an excellent Payroll module, and our employees have benefited from our implementation of the Hub feature. Hub allows us to share news and information, collect policy acknowledgment, link to internal and external sources, etc. and customize content based on the audience role or company. In my opinion, the Recruiting module has many flaws, especially when compared to other Applicant Tracking Systems. For companies that recruiting and hire multiple positions frequently, you may be better off with a separate system that can be integrated with Dayforce.
