HRIS software made for Canada

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Folks HR (used to be called Allié RH back in the day) is a solid solution for Canadian SMBs.
Their support is GOLD and this is honestly one of the key reasons to switch. If you are tired of having to deal with long wait times between tickets, Folks HR is the way to go.

Pros:

- bilingual HR software, it's a must for a company operating in Canada and Quebec. - great KPI module to help managers reach their HR goals - timesheet PER project (what a lifesaver!) - great value for money

Cons:

- no e-signature and that's a bit annoying but we can absolutely manage without it - the demo is a real demo not a trial

Alternatives Considered: Bob, Humi, Collage HR and Microsoft Excel

Reasons for Choosing Folks HR: Price and support. Also, let's be honest, the French interface is only 35% translated into actual French and not some horrible Frenglish.

Switched From: BambooHR

Reasons for Switching to Folks HR: Price. Support. Truly bilingual in Canada.

Awesome overall product

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

The functionality but most of all the implementation team!

Cons:

The fact that the menu closes if the mouse isn't over it, I wish it would stay open!
