KeldairHR vs. Sage HRMS

I am not an HR expert, however the recruitment process has recently been given to me as a part of our marketing and communications efforts. As someone who is not a seasoned professional in the hiring process, Hyrell has been a godsend. It allows me to manage the process and screen applicants very easily, provides automated templates for different stages throughout the hiring process, and offers great reporting options to gain insight into the effectiveness of our efforts. For these reasons, I would say Hyrell is particularly well-suited for a small business where employees may have to wear several hats and may not necessarily be HR professionals

Sage HRMS might be great for a smaller company under 1,000 employees. I would not recommend it for larger companies. It becomes too burdensome because many processes still have to be manual and reports take forever to process if you have too many records in your system

• Very accessible customer support - if I need help getting the posting the way I want it, they are there.
• Regularly scheduled training seminars - if you want to learn more about the program and its features, sign up.
• Responsive technical support - when I find glitches, they will work on it until they resolve it.

• Reporting - there are three levels of reporting - 1. Standard Reports 2. Query Tool - users can create very simple list with some filtering functionality 3. Crystal Reports - user can create very simple to complex report pulling data from multiple table, calculated fields, etc.
• Benefit Tracking - benefit plans are setup utilizing rate tables therefore rate changes are updated globally
• Payroll - everyday payroll processing and tax filing that is very user friendly

Incentivized

• Pre-built reports.
• Candidate profiles and ability for candidates to sign up for job alerts.
• No longer a "stream" on the main dashboard to provide an overview of everything occurring in all jobs. Now, we are required to go into each individual job for that stream. This is a change from the old system.

• It is sometimes hard to identify parts of competency/compensation history. We built tables to store this data but it is not laid out well on the screen.
• Sometimes, even when you tell the system to "Add to History" it doesn't update so there is history missing. This impacts someone that relies on history for troubleshooting and reports.

No Issues, and again, the Hyrell folks have lived up to what they said they would do at the beginning!

I do not work with this software anymore, and I am not involved with the renewal of it. However, if I were, I would still suggest using it unless something better was introduced

It is NOT OFTEN that one gets in marriage what one is promised in courtship. Our business relationship with Hyrell has proven to be on sound footing, as Hyrell lives up to what they state in their first meeting with a potential business partner.

I have never had an issue.

Consistent performance. Continuous software improvement. Excellent customer service.

I have never had to wait for response. Someone always speaks directly to me, sometimes more than once, and email follow-up keeps the issue in the field of vision until there is a resolution.

Emily is great at explaining!

It worked well!

Ask for the help you need from your account representative and technical support. They are very helpful and easy to work with.

Hyrell was much easier to use, cheaper and the support from the team has been outstanding. When this was launched, we had each of our managers attend an online webinar. If they were unable to view this, then there have been monthly training sessions available as well as one-on-one help for the less techy folks in the company.

Sage HRMS is popular and it's used in most organizations due to the reputation of Sage in coming up with popular and reliable business softwares. The software is not that expensive and after learning how to use it, everything becomes smooth and perfect. It's ultimate strength lies in payroll management and helping in applicant tracking capabilities

Hyrell has kept us moving, tracking and hiring strong candidates, even has we have moved from hiring 1 or 2 people a month to 3 or 4 a week! Great program, good features and fantastic supportl (Thanks, Emily!!!)

• My client has found very strong candidates much quicker than ever before. This has provided the foundations for the desired business growth.
• The quality of the candidates coming from this platform has energized the company. Recruiting can be a dull game for many managers, but with Hyrell they see it as opportunity to easily and quickly find the right candidate to help them achieve their goals.
• It has provided much more confidence to the company that they will be able to find the resources they need to successfully grow while they implement their business plan. It has enabled projects and plans to move forward to ready the company for its mission.

• Sage HRMS allowed us to manage payroll in house.
• It was disappointing that we had to use an outside vendor to file and pay our withholding tax.
• Ultimately, the decision was made to outsource payroll after using HRMS for 3 years.
