Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity
I am the technical recruiter for [...], so I use Paylocity for recruiting purposes. It starts from when they apply, then dispositioning them in Paylocity. Whether they are qualified or not, etc. I typically get their resume from Paylocity when they upload it there. They are also able to upload certifications, etc.
- Payroll
- Self-service for employees
- Recruiting piece/ATS could be improved.
- A candidate being able to save progress on their application is really a must as they can't leave and come back to their application without having to restart, i.e. if they need to get a phone number for a reference for example.
- Could use more room in entering the job for internal notes.
- Quirky when doing cut and paste of job details that leaves spaces that aren't in the document being pasted.
- Payroll piece does a great job in getting our employees paid.
- Self-service allows employees to make their own changes to personal information which saves company time and money and makes it better and quicker for employees to make changes.
- W2 and tax forms are great.
- Making changes to deductions is also good.
Paylocity has made payroll better. We use Costpoint to actually do the timekeeping and then that goes to Paylocity. As mentioned, the self-service automation system is great and is pretty easy to use. Also, accessing pay stubs and W2 and tax information is good.
Honestly, as the recruiter for [...], I preferred the functionality of ApplicantPro better. The biggest thing is that applicants aren't able to create a profile and save progress on their application. This has been a source of frustration for some of our applicants, which isn't great obviously. Seems like Paylocity isn't the quickest on resolving challenges either.
