I’m Svante Almroth, HR & Administrative Coordinator at Maple Community Library Services, our 38‑person U.S public library organization. What I value most about Herbst HRM is how flexible its user‑defined tables and security profile controls are. Our main HR platform HRSprout handles core employee time‑off and official personnel files, yet it is very restrictive when it comes to tracking volunteer‑specific metadata. With Herbst HRM, I can spin up separate custom tables to log background‑check expiry timelines, volunteer training completion records, and participation status for our busy summer reading events. I can set up distinct security profiles so our volunteer supervisor can look over volunteer‑related entries without being able to open confidential full‑time staff documents. We previously relied on BambooHR for this secondary tracking work before switching over. BambooHR hit hard caps on custom fields, forcing me to keep lots of volunteer information stored inside messy spreadsheets. Last year while organizing our summer youth volunteer intake, multiple admin people edited those separate spreadsheet copies. We ended up with conflicting background‑check statuses and almost cleared a volunteer with lapsed clearance to work with children. That stressful near‑miss pushed us to find a better tool. CSV data transfers still bring annoying surprises. When migrating records over from BambooHR, multi‑line training notes got chopped off during one import job. I didn’t spot the truncated safety training descriptions until I was prepping staff review materials and had to manually cross‑check and repair every affected entry. Even with that frustrating CSV flaw, the adaptable tables and permission controls deliver real value for our small public‑library HR‑admin operations.

I like about Herbst Knowledge is its far reaching usefulness. It flawlessly coordinates generally my business processes, from bookkeeping and stock administration to creation and deals. This incorporated framework gives a total image of my tasks, taking into consideration informed direction.

It helps us to gather all information of employees at one place which reduces redundancy and saves time.
