HRIS Analyst **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Sora?** Sora is super user-friendly! All new hire communications and adding hires into Workday could previously only be done by more experienced and senior team members but now anyone can do them. We started implementation only thinking Sora would be used for Workday new hires, but when other internal teams heard about Sora and all the capabilities it had, they immediately wanted to use it. **What do you dislike about Sora?** It did take a while to implement the Greenhouse to Workday integration, however, now that it's up and running, the time spent was worth it. The only downside right now is there are a few restrictions on the subject and senders of surveys. **What problems is Sora solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sora is helping us save hours and hours. We used to send all email comms to new hires manually, and it was tracked on a spreadsheet. Everything is automated now so emails don't slip through the cracks or get missed. We previously used to have to rely on the HRIS team to make any adjustments to communications being sent via Workday but now anyone can make the change and the formatting is more configurable than HTML was. ### 2. Thorough & Knowledgable Team - Seamless Integration Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brittany Z. | CEO, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Sora?** The people at Sora are fantastic. I'd not encountered anyone who wasn't willing to assist with any question, large or small, & provide automation solutions meeting business needs. **What do you dislike about Sora?** I did not encounter anything that did not work well. When the assigned resource was on vacation for a month, the backup help came in to assist & while some areas needed to be discussed in more detail, all automation was successful in the end. **What problems is Sora solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sora has automated the global hiring from iCIMS ATS to UKG HCM. Without Sora, this would be a manual task for the team that would take a lengthy period. The hires are completed in less than 2 minutes. ### 3.
