Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/21/2024 "First time use feedback" 2/5 What do you like best about Breathe? There are plenty of resources and guidance to learn from and a responsive customer team ready to help. The Learn Module is easy to navigate. Holiday and absence management is straightforward, and it's easy to set up onboarding tasks to new joiners and keep track of important 1-1 meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Breathe? I would say the recrutiment module. There is no option to add personalised/custom made questions to the module to screen out candidates, there is no option to build in our own brand either, the application page is quite basic, no other options for work type/pattern like hybrid, remote, fixed term contract, flexibility etc (we have to type everything manually); we cannot rename the interview stages (our business don't have telephone screens so it would be good if we could rename the stage to suit our own process), candidate communication could be smoother and easier to navigate - option to select from templates when the winow pops up to send an email to candidates. There is no automation or AI involved to reduce the manual workload. It would be nice if we could customize the design and add our own brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is all in one place now we use the Rota, Time and Attendance aspect, which makes everything more efficient, saving the company time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Breathe? There are still a few teething issues with the rota aspect of Breathe that stop it from being as fluid to use as we would like, such automatically applying breaks where not needed (e.g. on 4 hour shifts which then need manually overriding), each manager not being able to have their own settings reference auto sharing rotas and not being able to easily add staff to multiple rotas for when they support at other branches. These are all small details that would make the platform easier to use and more effective for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Breathe solving and how is that benefiting you? Breathe is helping us keep track of absences and effectively monitor these, as well as see any outstanding documentation for this. It also tracks the clocking in and out of our employees and monitor things like lateness. What the rota aspect does more effectively than the previous system we used is template rotas and quickly update / change rotas. Adding the approving timesheets aspect also effectively allows us to monitor staff overtime and absences in a way we have never been able to before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
