Deltek Talent Management
Chose Deltek Talent Management
I used a program called iCFM previously, which was more for budgetary analysis. It was not as detailed as Deltek Talent Management is which seems to cater more to team management and is a better option to use for such tasks. I have not used iCFM for about 3 years now so I am …
Chose Deltek Talent Management
HRSmart would actually be my last choice of these (lynda.com isn't an ATS so it would come in ahead, but the training on Lynda.com is excellent). We are actually switching over to BirdDogHR based on functionality, price, usage and ease of use. HRSmart is an ok system, but there …
Chose Deltek Talent Management
We are ending our relationship with HRSmart to move to a partnership with iCIMS. The experience with iCIMS thus far (we just launched implementation) has been far better than what we've seen from HRSmart in the 8 years I've used them.
Chose Deltek Talent Management
We selected HRSmart at the time because they were the leading up and coming company offering a multi-functional talent management platform on one underlying database. The value proposition was that we were supposed to only have one integration between HRIS and HRSmart.
The …
Chose Deltek Talent Management
Bottom line is thIs: HR Smart offered a solution that did exactly what I needed. No other vendor even came close. The others thought, wrongly, that more=better.
Chose Deltek Talent Management
I think HR Smart is comparable with other ATS solutions. Their support and assistance was timely, the system wasn't overly complicated and it simplified the sourcing process stem to stern.
Chose Deltek Talent Management
Every system has something unique that sets it apart from the competition. We reviewed several ATS during the decision process. HRSmart provided us the ability to interface with the Oracle tracking system, background provider and offered learning and performance review modules …
Chose Deltek Talent Management
To be one hundred percent truthful, I didn't get a chance to review the program before starting with the organization. I have worked with much better programs including Talea and Sendouts. I think the HRSmart is a cheap alternative and one that I was not impressed with in the …
Paycom
Chose Paycom
Paycom has many more features and is far superior to these.
Chose Paycom
Paycom is what was in place when I started this job.
Chose Paycom
Paycor was our previous provider, and we had an incredible amount of issues. There was so much manual work to keep information correct, and the flow of information was tedious. Paycom had all of the features we were looking for.
Chose Paycom
Paycom has a much wider range of functionality and the site is user friendly. The app is also better organized and easier to use with the self service portal and manager access in one place. The reviews and goal tracking is much more efficient than the other competitors I’ve …
Chose Paycom
Over all it came down to functionality and price. ADP didn't come well reviewed by other [...]'s and Paylocity didn't seem as intuitive as Paycom. Our Paycom rep also took a lot of time with us, explaining things and showing us how the system would help us. We felt like she …
Chose Paycom
Paycom has a great user environment and mobile app.. It is very easy to administer and follow the data flow.
Chose Paycom
The level of support is not comparable. It's been great with Paycom.
Chose Paycom
In my opinion, Paycom is leaps and bounds ahead of Paylocity. Paycom is a much more sophisticated piece of software that has made the entire employee experience so much more palatable.
Chose Paycom
Paycom is much better as it allows us to assign training and recruit. Whereas ADP had to download a third party application to use these.
Chose Paycom
ADP Workflow, Paylocity, BambooHR, Worklio - Paycom has a superior feature set and reporting tools. Rippling, Gusto, PlanSource - Paycom is less preferred due to its overly complex feature set.
Chose Paycom
Paycom works well with our employee population and size. They are customizable and able to fit our unique needs. Benefit administration and open enrollment can be done in a breeze. Paycom has lived up to their sales and marketing promises.
Chose Paycom
Paycom was able to provide better customer service support as well as the data being a single database of information allowed for greater flexibility in report writing function. Additionally, being able to have different modalities of recording time worked, via the computer, …
Chose Paycom
We had a lot of technical issues with Paycor due to the fact that they purchased separate software platforms and cobbled them into one system that did not flow as seamlessly as we would have liked. Our staff were constantly complaining that the app would glitch or that punches …
Chose Paycom
Paycom stacks up well overall against other providers in the same realm. There are areas of improvement that other companies are handling better, but overall, they are very similar. Paycom could improve on two major components: intersystem communication and ATS. Betti, however, …
Chose Paycom
Much more user friendly.
Easier and more responsive web time clock.
If I had a problem with Paychex I waited days for a response and was rerouted through 6 different departments, now with Paycom I wait minutes for a helpful answer to my questions.
Chose Paycom
Paycom is my first choice from working with other services like Peoplesoft, Paychex and ADP.
Chose Paycom
All of the HCMs are pretty much the same, they all just have different modes of applications. The only negative about Paycom is their reporting structures (somewhat) but that is based upon how your organization sets things up. It was already set up when I arrived. I would also …
Chose Paycom
We are presently using UKG. I have to say that Paycom is more user friendly to use.
Chose Paycom
I honestly believe I chose Paycom because of the relationship I had with our sales rep. I felt comfortable discussing issues with him and I trusted that he was going to be a man of his word. Blain was wonderful to work with and if I had any issues, I called him and he took …
Chose Paycom
Paycom is very user-friendly. Managers can review and approve employee timecards easily. The entire HRIS system allows information to flow together seamlessly. Your general ledger is tailored to your payroll and reporting needs. You no longer need multiple systems, you can do …
Chose Paycom
The customer service for starters. I used ADP for years and the customer service was awful. Their software is not user friendly either. When they upgrade something, they do not train you. The last straw I had with ADP was when they made complete chaos out of our open enrollment …
Chose Paycom
Paycom is amazing in the customer service piece where ADP was severely lacking

Deltek Talent Management is the best way to know exactly what type of performance your employees are having. This platform is the best option to consider for those companies that constantly recruit new employees, since it has a functionality to monitor the performance of these new candidates, in addition, it allows to know if these new employees are fulfilling their activities, Deltek monitors fulfilling assignments on a daily basis. Deltek collects data in real time about the tasks performed by employees, performs an automated process to highlight employees who are performing better in their assignments, in addition, it has an excellent compensation system, capable of providing recognitions, certifications and labor bonuses to encourage "top" employees to continue performing their activities. I definitely recommend it for any company, it adapts quickly, it is easy to use and its panel is very simple.

It's very mobile friendly, especially for people that aren't tech savvy. We have an aged workforce where we were really concerned about how they would adapt, going from the comfort of using paper to a mobile and online application. But the training was really easy and the adaptation has been simple for us as a company.

Pros
  • Does what it says it can do. There are several systems out there that claim they can do something, but they either can't or they don't address it well.
  • Support Services from the providers of HRSmart (Monster).
  • Partnership with Monster has provided access to their database and resources.
Read full review
  • I think that it's just really user friendly on both sides, the employer and the employee side. I think from the employer side, once you get a niche of it and how it works, it's really easy to troubleshoot on your own. At least from my experience, you rarely have to call your contact because it's just so easy to try to figure out on your own. And on the employee side, I feel like the fact that we get to see what employees see, but before we put anything out really helps us help them if they are running into any issues. But typically when we do send something out, we just did our performance reviews, no issues whatsoever. It kind of takes you step by step. I feel like it just does a really good job of seamlessly taking people step by step in every process throughout whatever they're doing in Paycom.

Cons
  • Consultative support - it doesn't exist!
  • Timely response to service requests (some requests have taken MONTHS to get resolved).
  • More robust reporting.
  • More transparency with system upgrades without blaming the client for making changes to the back-end when the upgrade has adversely altered the current functionality.
Read full review
  • We wish that Paycom would offer more hands-on help. A lot of our specialist is great in helping us to resolve whatever issues that we have. However, it's just a list of steps to get there. It's not necessarily like, "hey, here you go, here's the resolution to your problem." So if we don't already understand how to do something, providing steps doesn't necessarily clear that understanding up or provide any clarification.
  • Additionally, I find that for our organization in particular, we have specific niches within it that Paycom doesn't really address or has any solution on how to address it. It just remains unresolved to this day and we continue to have errors in that area.

Read full review
Because it has everything that we need and as we grow, we are learning how robust Paycom can actually be but we need to be willing to spend the money. It's not expensive but we, as a company, are not used to spending that much on a system for HR and payroll.

Usability
HRSmart is a basic, antiquated ATS that does not meet current challenges organizations face. Reporting and analytics is basic.
Read full review
The interface is very intuitive, you can navigate it pretty well. Everything's pretty much spelled out and the features just flow really well. They make it easy for you to go back and forth with the UX/UI type of interface. So I think it was built pretty well.

Our TSR has been wonderful to work with. Every step of the
way he was quick to respond and answer any questions we had. I knew I could
reach him at any time (day or night) and he would be available to assist.
Implementing a new HRIS system is obviously a huge task and I contribute all
our success to our rep Kurt! Of course, with any implementation, there were
bumps along the way and issues. But I always knew we would work as a team to
get those issues figured out. Working in the Paycom system has been smooth and
easy to learn and I enjoy the employee self-service interface. Our managers
have had positive things to say and are all excited about the changes we have
been able to make to our organization due to Paycom being implemented.

It was good, but hard to know what questions you need to ask until you actually get in there and start working with a live product. But Paycom is also very helpful every time I call and can't figure something out. Nathan has been very friendly and helpful no matter what I call him about. He is always eager to help out.

We really only had Paychecks and that was our biggest problem is that with several different companies, it was very hard If you had a salary employee and didn't terminate them in the prior company, they get paid twice, so this has really been definitely a big help for us.

Return on Investment
  • So far we have reduced turnover in the year that we have been using HRSmart (although can't be sure it is a causation relationship)
  • Some hiring managers are a little frustrated by the new processes, as individually they don't use the software enough to be familiar with it yet.
  • The ATS has allowed us to track information we weren't gathering before (such as referral sources for new hires) so we can focus our recruitment budget on the avenues that are giving us the most success.
Read full review
  • I would think the most time would come from applicant tracking and I don't think that's a Paycom issue necessarily. I think it was a training issue during implementation. I would say that that has improved now that we had onsite training. But initially the applicant tracking piece can be difficult when you're used to just using an ATS. That's specifically for talent acquisition because there's a lot of nuances that goes into the system that Paycom bills.
