Worksuite (formerly Shortlist) is designed to help companies find and manage their complete external workforce (freelancers, contractors, and vendors) by providing a single platform to source, onboard, manage, review/rate and pay them.
Deel was the best solution for our company size. It offered robust options for our diverse and unique work needs and was reliable and still affordable. We didn’t need all the suite of HE bells and whistles, and thus, it offered additional features without being too much for our …
We moved from Globalization Partners (GP) to Deel because we needed an Employer of Record solution with a much more scalable pricing and service model. GP's platform is clunky - we often can't get the right access to what we need, employees have trouble finding what they need …
I didn't review too many other platforms, but Deel stood out completely as it's globally compliant, automates contracts, and provides up to date withdrawal methods such as Coinbase.
Deel has been a game changer. It offers a simple and intuitive platform for signing compliant contracts, tracking hours, and receiving timely payments across borders. Compared to other software (Rippling) - Deel is better suited for independent contractors like me because it's …
We've never found another platform that does exactly what Shortlist does in terms of payments, taxes, project management, and on-boarding. We use other sites to source our new vendors (like indeed, craigslist, etc...) but ultimately we direct all those applicants to our …
We've never used another platform that does exactly what Shortlist does in terms of "sort of" project management as well as employee management. There are plenty of better project management software out there but the ability to combine the payment/bidding/employee onboarding …
It’s great for any organization with 30 people or more and is good if you have unique cases, such as full-time and contract employees or if you have employees in other countries. It would be less ideal for early start-up companies or mom-and-pop shops with a couple of employees.
I think Shortlist is well suited for a simple company that doesn't need to pull much data from their employees (the BI tool is only available for the high-spend accounts although it seems absolutely ridiculous that any company paying for any platform would be unable to pull data on their own people in the system). Shortlist is great for what it does, it just seems to be limited. I think the groups feature is quite cumbersome and often it seems that the "upgrades" made are not actually an upgrade, but a hindrance. For example, the IM style sending of messages within a project, but not within other areas to send messages. It just leads to typing issues and is in a place that would never be IM style.
Shortlist only allows for minor customizations to their platform. It would be great if each company could create their own view/usage set for the system.
The help chat box needs some work for sure. It takes days for someone to respond if they ever respond and often there is nothing they can do to remedy the issue at hand.
Payments should be able to be made every day, not just on Fridays.
We have been using this software for the last two years in the company of the a.m. Right now, I am part of the admin team for this software, so just being able to have a 1:1 usage of the software has helped me to realize how many aspects any other saw HR tool are lacking.
30-40% of the time there is no response when you contact the chat/help feature. 30-40% of the time if they do respond, it is to say they can't do anything about the issue. Maybe 20% of the time the chat is actually helpful, but that seems like a high estimate when I think about my experience asking for support.
We moved from Globalization Partners (GP) to Deel because we needed an Employer of Record solution with a much more scalable pricing and service model. GP's platform is clunky - we often can't get the right access to what we need, employees have trouble finding what they need and it results in having to submit a support ticket. Deel is much more intuitive - it puts everything at employees' fingertips and makes things much more self-service. Permission profiles are easy to set up and manage, and we're able to access all of the data we need when we need it
We've never found another platform that does exactly what Shortlist does in terms of payments, taxes, project management, and on-boarding. We use other sites to source our new vendors (like Indeed, craigslist, etc...) but ultimately we direct all those applicants to our onboarding in Shortlist. I wish some of the more "minor" platform issues we've had over the last year were fixed sooner (or fixed at all) but it does the job!
Overall shortlist has helped us because we don't have another way to collect and accept bids, create project information, and conduct payments and contracts with vendors.
The negative side is the extremely time consuming nature of navigating through the platform. It takes hours of team members' time to complete simple tasks.
