"Personio saved us hours of manual labour and made employees happier"
What do you like best about Personio?

I can organize my review meetings right from personio and it even creates an appointment with my team mates. The recruiting package allows to post a job on several channels and with the automation package we get templates for moving applicants through the funnel. Personio saved us dozes of hours in the process of hiring new team mates. All our colleagues get transparency via personio since we collect all HR data in it and provide access to the individual team member. Furthermore we can now offer online booking of absence, sick leave or pager duty off days. This helped us in the reporting and planning for our teams and brought good visibility into the organization.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Unfortunately theer are quite some glitches in the performance module and one can sense, that it is quite new to the ecosystem. It works but would benefiot greatly from a review towards user experience. Secondly the mobile app is quite basic and doesn't offer many features besides besides booking holidays and sick leave.

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

With the recruiting module we were able to create a end to end hiring process across our teams. We can no receive online applications, screen these and move it through our interview funnel. The templating mechanism saves us a lot of time when responding to a large quantity of applications. The performance module alloed us to document the review meetings and feedback from our team members centrally. It helps to plan and agree on bonus payments and offers visibility for both the employee as well as the particular team lead.

What do you like best about Personio?

Simple employee management Ingenious payroll Connection to our time recording software Employee introduction made easy Absence, attendance and vacation planning have been re-considered

What do you dislike about Personio?

There are currently no complaints or negative aspects that we could report. Even the support is outstanding and we have not yet experienced a software introduction that has been carried out so professionally

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were able to significantly increase productivity with Personio and also significantly increase the accounting processes and the management of employees. Even as a small to medium-sized company, we have not used any HR software before. I can only recommend this step towards the introduction of Personio to every company!

In my opinion, Personio is currently one of the best products on the German market. I am confident it has been developed by professionals with a strong Hr/people knowledge, as it is easy to use still very complex as a tool, very intuitive and adaptable to clients needs.

What do you dislike about Personio?

I did not identified till now negative aspects - all the challenges were quickly resolved. Thank you!

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

The most important benefit it is the accuracy of the data which has increased cosiderably the performance. Furthermore it is a very helpful tool in creating reportings, which were done manually till now - which has a significant time impact. Some processed have been simplified or even replaced by Personio, which allows us to be more flexible, to work from home, to have the documentation in one place.

"Great software for day to day business"
What do you like best about Personio?

Recruiting and HR Management, all in in one place. Nice UI, very helpful and quick support. Continuous feature updates. Regularly webinars, feature insights, and office/virtual events to get to know the product and the people. They started in the last webinars to show the product roadmap for the next months and even a longer perspective -great to know that is comming.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Nothing big really. I mean, there are many improvements still, but this is most of the time for specific and detailed cases. In general, everything works really well. The performance section could be furhter imporved, as we do not use it that regularly since its not that detailed. But I hope it gets fuxe vrey soon they have a task force for that es well - thanks guys. Problems that we face at the moment is related to holidays of working students (Hourly vs daily), time tracking that adheres to rules of taking breaks and some minor UI problems at payroll. But as far as I know that is all on the roadmap for the medium term.

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

- easy link between hiring process, onboarding of new employee and management afterwards - all in one software, no switch between different tools - paperless work - individual solutions for all employees - flexible adaptable for all our needs in our company
