Comprehensive HR solution that centralises the management of all staff information
The solution could be improved if it included a payroll system, to be a completely 360 degrees HR solution. Besides payroll, everything else HR related is handled in Freshworks. It would also be great to centralize all the data for potential candidates who are in our talent tool and to be able to search this pool by specific criteria such as skills and experience. We evaluate our personnel in order to consider them for promotions and salary raises. However, this process is completely manual and requires us to dig into their entire history to consider when their last raise and promotion was, for example. It would be really valuable if this process could be made simpler using this solution, especially for large teams and to include reporting functionality related to this data.

Simple, easy to access and interface is quite user-friendly.
PeopleStrong is good. The only thing is that they have complete SaaS-based solutions. But sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect. This does not exist right now because we have a separate portal for PeopleStrong. They have been logged in via SSO. But if we want to integrate it via API in the current people system, that feature is not available right now.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If you want growth in your professional life, then you should go with Freshteam because it's a nice applicant tracking system and it works on a real-time basis."
"There are a few reasons why I like Freshteam, including how easily you can get connected with candidates, and how easily candidates can get connected with you as the employer. One of the best features is its scheduling system, which gives both parties the opportunity to schedule different parts of the recruitment process. So if a candidate wants to know my schedule or when I will be available, that information is easy to find."
"Freshteam has allowed us to leverage all HR-related tasks and processes in a single, cloud-based solution, enormously increasing the speed of candidate acquisition and control of administrative employees schedules such as time-offs and holidays."
"Our entire employee base is supported by Freshteam. We register all our employees and their candidates inside the system and use it to handle all interviews, feedback, personal information and budgets."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"It is priced low."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"With PeopleStrong, you will be able to do all of those things while working at home."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
 

Cons

"The solution could be improved if it included a payroll system, to be a completely 360 degrees HR solution."
"In the beginning, I was having a hard time learning the software because I was using it on a remote basis."
"Covid took a toll on the support we have received from the Freshworks team with most of their support teams based in India."
"In the beginning, I was having a hard time learning the software because I was using it on a remote basis. Of course, I used some YouTube videos and other online resources to get by, but for me personally, I learn a bit more easily when the training is done in-person. I had to work double time just on the learning part of it, so I would say that Freshteam could do with better training resources."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For our training period, we were simply given a user ID and password by the company, with which we could log in and do our work on the platform. The licensing was someone else's responsibility."
"Freshteam has a free tier as well as a 14 day free trial. The free tier is suitable for a small or home office. If this tier is not suitable, an organization could sign up for the 14 day trial for a higher tier to try all the features and decide if it suits their needs."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"The pricing is reasonable."
