"Streamlined HR Processes with Seamless Reporting"
5/5
What do you like best about HRLocker?

I love so much about HRLocker. Its efficiency is fantastic and it's very user-friendly. I frequently use the reporting features to run various types of reports like weekly payroll reports and holiday reports, which is incredibly helpful. I love that when an employee is leaving and I push their last working date, it automatically calculates how much leave they have left. There's just so much I appreciate—it's a wonderful system. The setup was very easy, and the support was excellent, particularly from Shah, who did training with us, and Liz, our account manager, has been extremely helpful and efficient. Overall, it's a fantastic system and handles everything we need efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

The most annoying part for me, because I'm the administrator and I have access to every part of it, is that when I'm going to, you know, go into somebody's profile to see their time off, it automatically defaults back to me constantly. I find that a little bit annoying. Even if I'm in their directory and then I kinda go over to their name, it defaults to me all the time. The managers have the same issue. If they have five staff, it defaults to themselves before it goes back to their staff. I wish it would hold and stay on that staff member. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly and Flexible, but Needs Fewer Workarounds and Bugs"
3.5/5
What do you like best about HRLocker?

It’s very user-friendly and intuitive to use. The time-on and time-off features are straightforward and easy to understand. It also helps us manage a wide range of contract types and different working patterns, which makes balancing everything much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

Occasionally, we find that we have to create workarounds for things that should be fairly basic requirements in an HR system, such as maintaining a clear history of positions and employment dates. We also come across bugs from time to time, which create additional problems and take time for us to identify, investigate, and review all the implications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ronan McDonnell of HRLocker

"Streamlined Employee Review Process, Needs More Document Management"
3.5/5
What do you like best about HRLocker?

I like the directory where we can store all the users' information. I appreciate that HRLocker has the reviews all in one place, and I can choose an employee to look at and review what they've said. Also, once it's been completed, you can't go back and make amendments, which prevents any fraudulent activity by staff members. I also like the way that the certification gives a report in if there's certification due for renewal, making it a lot easier instead of relying on manual reminders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

The downfall is, so, unfortunately, within HR, there are more than just your standard reviews and also your return to work document. It could be additional documentation that I need to store in there, like maybe disciplinary letters that I've sent out to individuals. I want a file it would be really useful to have, like, a file storage documentation section that has to have separate folders that you could upload documentation, which then treats it as actual full employee's storage area. Because if I'm not in work, I'm it's stored in a staff file on my device. Then another manager won't be able to pick that up. Whereas if you're stored on that, it'd make it a lot more easier to pick up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ronan McDonnell of HRLocker

We appreciate your positive feedback about the streamlined review process and the certification report feature. We understand your need for more comprehensive document management and are soon launching enhancements in this ares to better meet customer needs.

HR Locker is brilliant: it’s affordable, easy to navigate, and has really streamlined our HR processes, particularly when it comes to leave management and maintaining employee records. The reporting functions are excellent.

"User-Friendly, HR Solution with Room for Growth"
3.5/5
What do you like best about HRLocker?

I really appreciate HRLocker for being a user-friendly system, especially for leave management. Before, we had to manage leave over emails, which made it difficult to track and maintain balances. Now, HRLocker simplifies this by having all the necessary data in one location, making it easier for managers to make decisions around leave. The notifications are very useful, particularly for compliance reasons, as they keep reminding us when an HR document needs a signature, adding accountability. It also provides updates to employees about the stages of their applications. The initial setup was quite easy, thanks to the help of the onboarding team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

The system could be a lot more intuitive. It's quite annoying how the FTE field doesn't prompt the other fields, making it very manual. For example, if somebody is reducing hours, I have to update several screens like comp and balance, working hours, and more. Also, as our company has grown, the system has become a little more limited in what it could do for us. Similiarly change in managers requires a lot of manual updates. There should be a bulk Our payroll team would prefer better integration because they have to pull multiple reports to find the same data for payroll processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ronan McDonnell of HRLocker

We're thrilled to hear that HRLocker has made leave management easier for you and provided valuable notifications for compliance. We understand your concerns about the system's intuitiveness and integration with payroll, and we will work on improving these aspects to better meet your needs.

"HRLocker has streamlined our daily HR needs"
5/5
What do you like best about HRLocker?

Everything is in one place, it's easy for staff to find all the information they need from answers to policy questions to booking their desk in the office it's a one stop shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

Booking Time Off can be a bit clunky especially from an approval side. Would be great if you could approve, deny and edit straight from the calendar view. Also would be great if you could edit booking requests rather than deleting and reapplying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystel Robbins Rynne of HRLocker

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your lovely review - we’re really glad to hear HRLocker is helping streamline your HR processes and empowering your managers. That’s exactly the kind of impact we’re aiming for!

On the time off approval side, you’ve hit on something we’re actively looking into. Approving and editing directly from the calendar view would definitely improve the experience, and we agree that being able to tweak requests (rather than deleting and reapplying) would make things much smoother. Your feedback is spot on and we’ve passed it along to the product team.

Thanks again - we really appreciate your insights!

"ATS Hire hive Makes Location-Free Job Ads Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HRLocker?

I really like the new ATS Hire hive as this allows us to advertise roles without location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

I sometimes find it confusing about adding in some elements to employees profiles eg days worked - set days for different people.

I also can find it a little annoying if I forget to submit changes and move to another section I have to redo. I would like there to be a reminder to save changes before moving to a new section Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ronan McDonnell of HRLocker

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with the new ATS Hire hive feature. We understand your concerns about adding elements to employee profiles and the need for a reminder to save changes. Your feedback is valuable to us and we will work on addressing these issues.

"Empowers Staff with User-Friendly Interface"
5/5
What do you like best about HRLocker?

I find HRLocker very user-friendly, which is essential for managing leave types and TOIL in our busy surgery. It allows staff to be aware of what leave they have taken and what's remaining, effectively putting them in charge of their own requests. The initial setup was straightforward, and the team was great at showing us how to use it. HRLocker stood out to us when we reached out to a few companies, making it our choice. I am likely to recommend HRLocker to a friend or colleague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

The mobile app isn’t as user-friendly as the desktop version. It just isn’t as clear as the desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ronan McDonnell of HRLocker

Thanks a million for the lovely review and for choosing HRLocker, it really means a lot! Delighted to hear it's empowering your team to manage their own leave and freeing you from those Excel spreadsheets.

"HRLocker: Comprehensive, User-Friendly with Great Support"
5/5
What do you like best about HRLocker?

I love how HRLocker is very user-friendly and allows me to add basically all the info I need. It's great for keeping track of annual leave requests, approvals, dates taken, and days left, giving both HR and employees control and autonomy over their leave. The customer service is also very good, and they usually respond quickly to any questions. I enjoy the webinars they organize with relevant topics for HR and attend most of those. I find Hire Hive part quite beneficial as it posts jobs on multiple platforms and keeps all applications in one portal, making it a very user-friendly tool for recruitment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

Would love to have an area where we could store documentation regarding an employee but that would only be visible to HR, such as file notes, disciplinaries etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ronan McDonnell of HRLocker

Thank you for such a kind and detailed review! We're delighted to hear that HRLocker is making leave management easier for both you and your employees, and that Hire Hive is streamlining your recruitment process.

"Easiest HR System with Outstanding Support"
5/5
What do you like best about HRLocker?

I like the ease of use and implementation with HRLocker, especially when adding new people and making changes. The customer service and response time are fantastic. It has made things easier and quicker, transitioning from Excel spreadsheets to a more streamlined process and keeping everything in one place, which helps managers and team members easily check who's on or off and when. The initial setup of HRLocker was very easy and very quick. Even though I had used it before, its quick implementation was impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HRLocker?

I think the only one I can think of is the ability to update the annual leave entitlements in advance. Our staff get annual leave increments based on length of service. So when somebody starts, if I could update that or put that in as soon as they start, it would save me having to have an annual review each year of doing those updates and changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ronan McDonnell of HRLocker

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so pleased to hear that the transition from Excel has been smooth and that having everything in one place is making life easier for you, your managers, and your team.

It's also great to hear that onboarding new people and our customer support have been hitting the mark. If you ever need anything, we're always here to help!
