Overall Satisfaction with RedCarpet

We use RedCarpet across the entire organization for all of our new hires. Before RedCarpet, we struggled to collect all of the new hire paperwork in a timely manner, and often times we had to go back and forth with the manager to ensure the forms were completed correctly. RedCarpet also offers a much simpler and more efficient I-9 and E-Verify process that our managers really like.

Pros

  • RedCarpet is easily configurable by the functional owner, so you don't need to put in a ticket to have something changed.
  • RedCarpet has a really smooth I-9 and E-Verify process. Implementing this new process has been the biggest win for us with the product as a whole.
  • RedCarpet has a forms library that is constantly updated with the latest state tax forms, which is really helpful for us.

Cons

  • RedCarpet does not allow you to "un-cancel" an onboarding event. So if you need to re-start it, you have to start from scratch and then customize the task list for that new hire so they don't repeat tasks they've already completed.
  • There tend to be periods where there's either an issue with DHS's server or possibly RedCarpet's integration with DHS where you can't submit the E-Verify request. However, when this happens we just put in a ticket and RedCarpet is usually able to resolve the issue pretty quickly.
  • The one part I'd like to have visibility to, but can't see or configure is the permission list assigned to teams (roles). This can be a problem if a team is assigned more/less access than they need, and as an administrator, you have no ability to see what the permission list is that's assigned to a particular role.
  • We haven't done a formal ROI yet since we've had the product less than a year. However, I'd say that in terms of the I-9 and E-Verify process alone, that it was worth it for us.
  • There is more efficiency in the HR department because they don't have to individually check each form to verify that it's filled out correctly since the e-Form does that for us.
Like any computer application, RedCarpet is better suited for populations that are comfortable using a computer. If your population is not computer literate, I would definitely think about whether a computer solution is right for you. Also, if you need the application available in another language, know that your team will be doing all of the translations.
