its easy for us to run reports and set tasks that our employees need to do. Also its very easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Often have issues with it being slow and data not migrating to kallidus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sapling does a great job of getting new employees up to speed, ensures compliance in following all key set-up steps , and helps remind them to do all necessary steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its was honestly really great. Some steps were unnecessary, and sometimes reminders came before steps could even be completed, but I think that had more to do with our specific implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate the flexibility of the system to set up the fields and workflows I need to run HR processes and also keep track of and report on HR data. While the differentiation from competitors isn't extreme, I do think saplings flexibility with adding fields and seting up workflows is a huge benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The navigation on the back end isn't always the most user friendly. Sometimes I have to click through a few different fields to get to what I want. Also, while they have api's available and you can easily set up API keys- I know from one system in particular (knoetic) that they aren't always open and willing to work with that system to send the data in useable ways.

I was able to implement this pretty much on my own over the course of a few days. We didn't have any other system to transition from. In general, the training with the team was bang on and informative. BEST THING... embedded videos ya'll.
I like the simple UI. Integrates easy with Google.
What I think most HR systems miss, is that they are build with the HR person as the user, but here is the thing. EMPLOYEES who can do more, will reduce the impact on HR, which is really solving the problem. The employee experience is incredible, we have all employees participating on all main purposes with no laggards, and that's saying something! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The time off part was a bit more trickier than I would have liked, but the UI is great. Missing functionality is putting people on "leave" with appropriate workflows from there. I'm sure it's coming through.
Wish they had an LMS part of the platform or some Performance stuff, issue with the performance stuff is the out of the box stuff available, rarely fits a company and is hard to develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Automated tasks, re-assigning tasks, reporting, sequencing tasks, customized fields and forms on employees' profiles make it an easy tool to use for onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some things that could definitely be made better. With the workflows, there is no way to easily compare tasks across workflows or delete or assign the same task from/to multiple workflows. We have a lot of workflows set up, and it's difficult to manage. Also, it would be so user friendly if when you're on an employee profile, when you scroll down, it keeps the name and information at the top. I often am looking at an employees profile and, now that we're a few hundred, have to scroll all the way back up to see whose profile I'm on - very annoying. Finally, there are issues in pulling reports - I ask it to pull ALL the individuals in Sapling, and some people don't get pulled even though they're in Sapling.

Makes onboarding simple and avoids missing steps, send reminders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be a little clunky at times, signing documents, profile editing are the things staff have issues with mostly. We require a system that does not rely on good internet signal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sapling is very easy to use and configure. It makes repeatable events easy, consistent, and alleviates having to track sequential and spaced-out tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lots of opportunities to improve features, so the public submission board is helpful. We've run into some API integration challenges with other tech providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sapling had an appealing and mostly intuitive user interface. The integration with Greenhouse was very helpful when it came to moving candidates into the onboarding stage. I also like the customizable workflows for new hires and offboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sapling has some limited functionalities that we've been able to solve by moving our onboarding over to Paylocity instead. I also found some issues in creating the customized workflows like setting the relative dates and not being able to assign the same customized task to multiple people. Sapling also doesn't have an EDI feed available to directly transfer benefits enrollments and changes to our carriers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My favorite thing about Sapling is its integration into our systems to keep HR informed. I know our data is correct because we can quickly onboard and onboard people with Sapling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far, there's nothing I don't like about Sapling. My company doesn't use the full capabilities, so if I'd change something, it would be that, but that's on us to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
