Overall Satisfaction with Personio

Personio was widely used accross business units and countries to plan, schedule and maintain good HR practices. In particular, it was the centerpiece of masterdata management, salary data management and vacation management, where the approval process was very handy for our organization. All in all, very intuitive UX and UI.

Pros

  • Powerful app - best in class
  • Masterdata management
  • Vacation Management
  • Organization charts
  • HR Processes

Cons

  • From administrative POV, there were indication that some integrations to salarysystems in other countries was lacking
  • Significant acceleration of Time to Hire
  • Significantly improved management of Masterdata
  • Improvement of employee satisfaction
Personio is an established HCM provider - for good reasons. In particular, for employees and managers, Personio is easy to use and allows for managers and employees to truly focus on what matters, in a modern and flexible way. There are certain points that could be improved in the overall administration of the system, in particular when it comes to integrations and old techstack - but this is the case really for all historical HCM providers. Personio is a solid tool and certainly recommended.
Personio is much like HiBob, strong focus on the relationship between managers and employees. Very intuitive UX and UI - staying at the forefront of HCM. Sympa does better in terms of overall connectivity.

Personio is a market leader for good reasons, solid and giving its customers good value for the investment.

If you are an SMB or generally just a startup, Personio is a no-brainer for its intuitiveness and easy-to-get-started approach. Employees truly enjoy the UI and possibility to get an easy overview of its own data, not to mention processes to apply for vacations and absence etc. Absolutely recommended if your main focus for the new HR system is directed towards your employees.
