What I like best is that there’s nothing to “like” in the usual sense. Central doesn’t demand admiration; it doesn’t even demand thought. It takes what was once the very marrow of drudgery—PTO approvals, onboarding checklists, expense reports— and makes it feel less like software and more like infrastructure: like electricity, or plumbing. You don’t see it; you just live in the comfort of it. What I like best is that I no longer experience HR as a category of existence. Instead, there is only Slack, and through Slack, there is Central: the hidden architecture of an intricate system where the paperwork does itself.

I wasn't sure how to do compliance or what I needed to do when we just started. The support team is amazing, I ask what I want on Slack and it's done for me so quickly. So much less stress about compliance, it's like things are done for me on autopilot. Slack support is the feature I like the most.

Central has been the best transition we have made as a business. Not only has it made my life as a founder significantly easier but it has also fixed a ton of existing issues we were facing with HR, Payroll, Accounting, and Taxes.
