"Effectively Centralize HR Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Folks HR?

I like that everything is grouped in one place with Folks HR, including the employee file, vacation requests, training certificates, management of the 1% law, and electronic signatures... The employee file stands out particularly, as everything from the contract to disciplinary measures is centralized in one place. Moreover, the initial setup experience was very well guided with tailored web training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"HR made simple"

5/5

What do you like best about Folks HR?

Folks is an incredible software! Since our company started using it, we have saved time and money. It is easy-to-use software, and employees love its visual appeal and efficiency. The integration was easy with the employees. We were guided throughout the implementation, the trainers do an excellent job, and customer service is always there to answer our questions. We use it every day for our HR follow-ups and absence management. We conducted our performance evaluations at the beginning of this year, and it's just amazing how much time we saved. I recommend Folks to all companies! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Folks HR?

We have no negative comments to make about this software, Folks is constantly evolving and innovating based on its clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I love it!"

5/5

What do you like best about Folks HR?

Ease of use. Many features available. Information is centralized and it's easier to find documents. I use Folks HR every day, it's our reference for everything related to employee files. Sales support is excellent. We have not yet implemented the platform with all employees because we have not finished the integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Folks HR?

No integration of Indeed with the ATS platform at the moment. It negatively impacts our experience.

Long to integrate all the features.

Customer support is less interesting. Everything is done by email, no way to reach someone by phone for a quick question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Folks HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centralization of data on a single platform, which prevents searching for information in too many folders. Excel is almost no longer part of my life. I love the reports for training hours and the associated costs (salary + cost), easy for the DEMES and the costs for the 1% law. The reminders for expired cards or certificates allow you to always stay up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Superior Customer Service Experience"

5/5

What do you like best about Folks HR?

Its the people at FolkHR that make huge difference in my daily HR life. Their expert advice, solutions to my inquries and professionalism is always delivered with attention to detail, timely responses and a sense of genuine kindness.

The whole FolksHR system from implementation to launch was seamless and smooth. The system is user friendly and saves our HR and management team time in their day to focus on business reated tasks and not on shuffling paperwork.

Our employees find the FolksHR system easy to use and the newly updated Folks HR app has been a great addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Folks HR?

The HRIS does not notify HR when an employee vacation/absence request has been granted by a supervisor/manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Folks HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Deciding to bring FolksHR into our life at Rental Village has allowed our HR and Administration departments to go completely digital with employee/personnel files. Saving this department close to 100 hrs of people time to focus on other business related tasks.

FolkHR has allowed our management team to quickly and efficently record details to each employee file whenever it is required to note important items.

The annual review process is now looked forward to due to the fact that it is all online and can be completed within 10-15 min with no paperwork. The communication functions allow for a seemless process from begining to end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent HRIS, complete and intuitive"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Folks HR?

All the features one could wish for are gathered on a single platform: vacation requests, expense accounts, disciplinary notices, onboarding processes, etc. Customer service is efficient and courteous. Most of the features are intuitive and easy to grasp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Folks HR?

The platform is not fully customizable. The employee satisfaction survey module, for example, is practically unusable because it is impossible to modify it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Folks HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centralization of information. For example, I receive an application on my website and it arrives in the ATS. My recruitment process is clearly defined there and I just have to follow each step. As soon as I click on Hire, the application is transferred into an employee profile on Folks and allows me to start the onboarding process. I can have the contract signed digitally, indicate what equipment the employee will have in their possession, link their banking information to our payroll system, generate an end-of-probation evaluation process, in short, all of this on a single platform.

"Easy experience and excellent customer service"

5/5

What do you like best about Folks HR?

The interface. I find it easy to understand, and it's easy to find the information. Another big plus is the customer service. When we encounter a bug, simply write them an email and we get a response very quickly, usually the same day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Folks HR?

I would like to have the ability to switch from one employee to another without having to search, for example with an arrow, and to be able to sort employees by department or by last name, for example. I would also like the option to sort attachments in employee folders, and even create subfolders (e.g., hiring, departure, insurance, retirement savings plan, etc.). It can be difficult to find the appropriate document when we have a long-term employee with many documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Support and capsules always more instructive"

4/5

What do you like best about Folks HR?

We know that we have the support behind us and the open-mindedness to make the platform live according to our real needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Folks HR?

Some supports directed us to the capsules rather than helping us. I wasn't aware that there were so many capsules to watch in advance for just one person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
