Overall Satisfaction with Paycor
I use Paycor daily to manage the end-to-end recruiting and onboarding process. This includes Posting Job Ads: I create and publish job postings directly through Paycor, which allows me to efficiently promote openings across multiple job boards and track candidate sources.
Collecting and Reviewing Resumes: I regularly monitor applicant flow through the system. Paycor’s applicant tracking feature enables me to review submitted resumes, evaluate candidates' qualifications, and progress them through various hiring stages.
Candidate Communication: I use Paycor to communicate with candidates at various stages of the hiring process, including scheduling interviews, requesting additional documents, and sending updates on their application status.
Onboarding New Hires: Once a candidate is selected, I initiate the onboarding process through Paycor. This includes sending digital onboarding packets, collecting required documents (like IDs and certifications), and ensuring all forms are completed before the hire’s start date.
