HRLocker Reviews

Efficient professional service for monitoring in line with compliance

Comments: As a modern day company, we want to ensure we are fully compliant to all regulations. HR locker was recommended to us and the system has transformed how we manage our small team of staff. Time off and time is easily recorded now and the ability to produce reports if needed is superb. From the start, the assistance from HR locker support staff (Crystel) was fantastic. From initial testing of the software right down to full installation the team at HR locker could not have been more helpful and ensured we were happy.
It has transformed our time and attendance recording to being more professional and that of a modern employer.
Thank you HR locker.

Pros:

Easy of use to log working hours. Easy of use for staff to book holidays. Transparency for all staff where needed so holidays dont clash. Ability for management to produce reports accurately and easily. Support staff behind HR locker ensuring all my queries or problems are answer really quickly. (Top marks) Uploading of certificates under each staff profile. Everything is kept in one place.

Cons:

No App version. For our territory staff, and app would be far easier and quicker for them instead of having to log into a web based version. The format of the dates when booking holiday can be confusing especially for older staff. It would be good if you could log your hours worked in advance, for example 6 months ahead (particularly for regular office staff). And only change then if needed.

Excellent HR Tool

Comments: All in all, HR Locker is an excellent tool. It is used daily in our company by each employee. It is a safe place for us to store our Policies and Procedures so that they can be signed and reviewed over and over again when required. HR Locker has some great features but one that I have to call out is their Customer Support, there is always someone available to help when it's needed and they have all gone above and beyond to help us at Spearline. I would definitely recommend this product.

Pros:

This tool is very easy to use. The majority of it is self-explanatory which is great as we have new users added each month. I love that Hirelocker is linked to HR Locker and any candidates that are hired are automatically placed in the Onboarding Office. I also like the reports section - again everything is in one place and easily accessible.

Cons:

I would love to see the "Time Off" section being updated to include Gmail so that when someone books annual leave in HRLocker that it updates their calendar also. I belive this is readily available for Outlook email but not Gmail as of yet. I would also like to see two additional sections in the HR Locker RTR section. Currently, it has "Goals" but I would also like to see a section for "Competencies" and "Learning & Development Needs" - this would give a clearer picture for both the employee and the manager.

HR Locker

Comments: Overall, it is a good software. It also depends on the package that Griffith College or any organisation buys. I have only worked with SAP, Ultipro, Peoplsoft prior to this. These are much more expensive and the expectation of output would be different. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been extremely helpful throughout and is an excellent representative for HRLocker.

Pros:

HR Locker is very user friendly as an employee.

Cons:

- Some of the reports were blank when generated e.g. time-on reports - The programming behind the fields is not always accruate e.g. user cancels a week's holidays, the time-off field is updated (i.e. it is cancelled and the balance is updated accordingly), however, in the time-on field, those days that were booked as holidays continue to show as the generic day time 9am - 5.30pm when the typical visible field would appear empty with no times showing. This implies that the fields in the background are not correlated in the programming. Additionally, this example does not happen each time which adds to the programmind not correlating consistently. - Despite the above, the software is very economical and therefore the expectations of accuracy and output should reflect the cost. Overall, it is a good software.

Easy to Use and Great Support

Comments: This is the 3rd organisation where I've used this software (I introduced it in all 3). It's an easy way to manage employee leave and other 'HR' details. It's easy to implement and easy to use. The team is great, they offer quick support and they are very friendly, responsive and helpful. The price is reasonable and fair for the product.

Pros:

It's an easy way for employees and managers to request/approve/monitor leave. It avoids confusing spreadsheets. This is especially good for staff who's hours do not vary (ex. Salaried Staff working set hours). HR Docs makes it easy to ensure staff compliance with Essential Documents that require staff signatures. All 'HR' file information is now paperless and compliant with GDPR. Cost effective (easy to show cost/benefit given the efficiency is creates) HR Locker has reacted very quickly to the global pandemic and made very quick changes to the product that have been useful in the situation.

Cons:

We don't use a clock/in clock out system so the leave management isn't perfect (I have to use some workarounds). It's difficult to edit annual leave/sick leave once entered (it has to be deleted and re-entered). There are not many custom options to include/change as needed. What you see is what you get. Up until very recently, there hasn't been a lot of noticeable change to the system (PRO - over the past 4-6 months there have been several really impactful updates/changes).

HRLOCKER PUCHASE - JULY 2019

Comments: Overall, good experience from choosing the software, discussing our needs with the project manager assigned to us, implementation and training. I feel that the training could be delivered in a more structured manner for a new user - when the system was ready to use we were asked in training "well, what do you want to know?". A new system should be explained methodically and clearly to new users, particularly the administrators.

Pros:

The software is easy to use and users require very little training to get up and running. The system's reporting feature has been further developed to allow for additional reports which are useful for management review. Finally, the software is produced, developed and supported from Co Clare and we were conscious about supporting Irish business.

Cons:

The annual leave setting for part time workers is tricky to manipulate through HRLocker are applying a fix for this. The Real Time Review feature caused us some issues early on to the point where we chose not to introduce it to the business until further development work had been applied. That said, we are testing it again right now and it does appear more user friendly {with some anomalies still be be explained}.

Overall opinion of HR Locker

Comments: Overall it suits our business very well and caters for all our needs. We're happy with how it works.

Pros:

Product is very straight forward and easy to use, in particular for employees (i.e logging annual leave, sick leave). I enjoy the personal touch HR Locker has to offer and have found their customer service to be extremely helpful and has a fast response.

Cons:

The 2 things I like the least are related to Hirelocker and are more visual issues than effecting how the system actually works. Firstly how jobs appear on the our own website. While there is an option to change font and colour etc in Hirelocker, we are not an overall fan of the look and feel it doesn't fit in with the website. Greater ability to edit this layout would be much appreciated however I am not sure if it's possible. The second thing is how emails appear from candidates on Hirelocker. Often they can look a bit skewed which isn't ideal. A clearer layout would be much appreciated.

HRLocker

Comments: I have to commend [SENSITIVE CONTENT] for the high standard of training and support provided throughout induction and pilot stage. A very knowledgeable, approachable and patient young man.

Pros:

Time management and HR section has proven to be very beneficial from a working time regulations perspective and monitoring purpose. Structures record keeping and is a good central point for sharing staff information .

Cons:

I have no areas that I could comment on in relation to the Cons.

Simple Solution for managing time and Annual Leave

Pros:

Its handing having one tool for both managing time and requesting annual leave time. It connects together and automatically fills your days off as AL. Being able to keep company policy document on the platform is helpful as well for getting signatures.

Cons:

I dont have any draw backs to this platform, its an easy to use solution.

using hirelocker

Comments: very positive, overall very good and interaction with Hirelocker staff is superb - so much better than other CRM companies

Pros:

Vert easy to use, easy to navigate and easy to upload documents

Cons:

not so much as what I don't like but I would like to be able to navigate to a specific page a lot easier ( page number instead of having to go to the last page and then navigate 2 pages at a time. Also, the search function needs to be made easier and a few little niggles ironed out but in general very happy with the system

HRLocker Review

Pros:

Help feature, support chat is very quick

Cons:

Not cons as such but we don't use some features

HR System for SME

Comments: HRLocker has streamlined and automated our HR processes which has freed up so much of our managers and HR teams time allowing them to focus on other value add projects. The system is improving all the time with new features and functionality which is exactly what a growing company needs.

Pros:

HRLocker allowed our company to automate our HR processes across the board from recruitment, CPD, leave management, Performance Reviews to onboarding. Our employees and managers have experienced the benefits of a one stop shop.

Cons:

It is changing quite a bit as the team make improvements and so at times I feel we have just been getting used to a new feature or screen and then it changes again.

Great Value for Money

Comments: HR Locker has helped us to streamline processes and improve communication. Much more efficient than previous methods used to log annual/sick leave etc. It also helps us stay compliant with GDPR and other legal guidelines around storing employee/candidate information. Our employee review process has improved immensely and we are already noticing the benefits of that throughout the business.

Pros:

We were looking for a software system that would be easy to implement but also streamlined our HR business function. HR Locker was very easy to grasp and the support provided at the implementation stage was second to none. The HR Locker team are always contactable and happy to help! The system has helped us streamline our HR processes and improve communication across the business.

Cons:

Email formatting on HireLocker is temperamental at times

HRLocker Review

Comments: Good. Customer service has always been very good.

Pros:

The hire feature is good. I also like the org chart feature.

Cons:

Time off customisation could be improved. Overall look of the software. Time off section easier, currently feels a little crowded and not user friendly.

review

Comments: over all great to use

Pros:

Its user friendly and not very complicated to use. Which makes it easy to roll out to Business. Being able to produce reports to the business has been useful and for the HR team its great we can now start looking at data and using it to solve HR problems. It allows us to be more efficient.

Cons:

Some features which would be good to have are 1. It would be good to be able to set up automatic emails at certain points such as a new starter email to send to managers 2. it would be good to be able to attach some documents to the automataic emails that go out 3. Another gender neutral field is needed

Feedback

Comments: Our experience has been painless thanks to the amazing support of HRLocker, especially Koushik Ghorpade, who's patience knows no bounds!

Pros:

Ease of use, at the click of a button we can pull reports, find information needed etc. The follow up support, so far, has been exemplary.

Cons:

Some features are time consuming, and could be improved. e.g. dropdown menus - when you have to untick the options you don't want, much handier to just tick the option you need. Drag and drop would also save time

Mixed View

Comments: Service excellent. Product needs to become more intuitive.

Pros:

Leave management is very good and clear.

Cons:

Staff directory, too many obstacles to manage leavers, should be significantly more intuitive and guided. This is becoming an issue that may cause a switch in provider.

Pros:

It's very easy to publish new documents to employees

Cons:

Nothing major, just improve the user interface especially around leave requests

Review of HR Locker

Comments: Overall this has made my job easier & it has kept it all paperless which is great!

Pros:

ii Love the holidays section where ee's can add & managers can approve holidays as this was manually done inhouse before we got HR Locker
