"Extremely timesaving, easy to use, and developing all the time."
What do you like best about Personio?

It's very timesaving, a lot of manual HR tasks can be done by Personio like contracts, e-signatures, reminders for managers during onboarding, about contracts, and way way more. I like that you can adjust everything yourself, you are not dependent on Personio to change your setup.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Some options are not there yet, but you see they are developing very quickly. We really need bi-weekly schedules, and they update us frequently about the feature (that will be implemented soon).

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Saves a lot of manual administrative tasks (contracts, reminders about birthday + contracts + onboarding and offboarding tasks). - Managers can do and view a lot of information themselves - Saves a lot of time in payrolling, because you can already schedule changes - Saves times during onboarding and offboarding - We are ready for growth, without spending more and more time on HR administration

"Great HR Software"
What do you like best about Personio?

I really like the easy interface yor the employees. It is not overloaded with things you can do and it concentrates on the most relevant things you need. I also really appreciate the great customer support

What do you dislike about Personio?

Sometimes buggy when new features are updating. As an admin it needs to have a training on all the settings you can have

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its an easy plattform to collect all relevant information for all hr admin tasks and the payroll. It also helps us to get rid of a physical personal file. It saves a lot of time and information are not getting lost

"sometimes you should listen to your gut feeling ....."
What do you like best about Personio?

Personio helps us to map our HR requirements and workflows in a very smart way and to adapt them ourselves even in an agile environment. In other words, there are well-thought-out technical guidelines, where I still have the chance to design my processes within a defined framework. Agile setup, fast implementation, regular exchange, understanding HR in a modern approach, constant drive for innovation/ new features

What do you dislike about Personio?

Performance review / personnel development area still needs fine-tuning Reporting - several visual evaluations (Manager View) / team comparison Recruiting module (recruitment) should be even better linked to the onboarding process Agile workflow setup - outside the on- & off-boarding process

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

monthly payroll Self-service function (manager/employee) administrative activities (absence management, time tracking, etc.) Reporting - adhoc Reporting Recruiting module rolled out and made from 2 HR tools - one solution digital personnel file introduced Template Management All the points mentioned strengthen the HR team in its daily work and enable us to focus on the actual HR topics (business partnering, training, development).

"HR system - xbird"
What do you like best about Personio?

Personio allowed us to centralize all HR related processes at our company. It made on-boarding, payroll, contracts and absences really easy for us. We are saving a lot of time and energy with all processes, helping us to keep track of everything and not loose any relevant information.

What do you dislike about Personio?

We were not huge fans of Personio's recruiting options, as we already had better CRM's for that. Also, the distributions of "add ons" and "pluses" is not the most effective for us, as we don't use recruiting but still have to pay for most of its features.

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Onboardings are smooth and easy-going, making sure that we don't miss any important step on the process. - Filling in and signing contracts electronically is a huge plus or us! - The calendar is also really beneficial, as we cans till keep track of everything and integrate it into our Google calendar

"Personio helped us digitize our HR Management, create more transaprency and save time"
What do you like best about Personio?

How intuitive it is to use the tool. You do not need a manual to navigate through the system. At the same time when you really use it it is quite complex and can do a lot for you.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Currently the transmission of data is abit challenging for us (but maybe because its such sensitive date with payroll & Co.)

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

We didn't have digital files before and were using an outdated software for HR Management that only people who went through extensive training could use. Personio makes it easy for every team memeber - even for managers (not HR) - to use it. It creates more transparency for everyone and gives more ownership to employees. Also, we manage to save time in HR Management and can make our first steps for HR Analytics since PErsonio provides the data.

"Good tool for managing feedback and time off"
What do you like best about Personio?

Personio helps me to manage the time off for my reports easily, and provides a helpful central resource for the development feedback I've given to people I manage.

What do you dislike about Personio?

Sometimes it can be complex to navigate to the features I'm interested in - things can be buried.

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Feedback used to be in disparate places. It's all in one place now that we have Personio, which saves me time and means I can track their development more easily.

"Great to have everything in one place"
What do you like best about Personio?

So useful to have leave calendars, performance reviews, and personal information all in one place. We recently used this for the first time for performance reviews and the process was so much more straightforward. As a manager, the dashboard helps flag any pending requests so that I can approve them quickly, as well as organise my own leave.

What do you dislike about Personio?

When my reports submit manager feedback, I don't have visiblity on that.

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Manage team leave and have a consistent place for performance reviews

Nothing really so far. It works well, for example, with respect to important HR processes and essential navigation link for emloyees. It is good with any data retrieving too.

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

absense recording, onbarding, collection important docs, etc. It is easy and simple to navigate HR related processes. It is more efficient and hence good for overall performance.

"Intuitive tool that provides you with everything you need for HR"
What do you like best about Personio?

-intuitive, easy to use - HRM part is very clean, structured - flexible in many ways - it can be adapted to one's needs - absences tracking is without flows

What do you dislike about Personio?

- it seems like there are many possibilities for improvement - document part; signing - it looks like not all necessary features have been developed or implemented -for example. app could provide possibility signing documents

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well, since our starting point was Excel sheets and emails going back and forward implementing Personio means that we are saving time, automating many admin processes, but also it helps us to have more structured processes for recruitment and P&D.

"Review of Personio: User Review from a Tour Company"
What do you like best about Personio?

I manage a tour company in Istanbul, and I found Personio to be a very efficient HR management tool with a number of features that streamline and improve the efficiency of managing our people resources. The user-friendly interface of Personio is what I appreciate most about it because it makes it simple for me to handle employee data, keep track of time-off requests, and oversee our hiring procedure. The software's reporting features are also a notable feature because they enable me to produce meaningful reports that aid in improving my team's decisions. Additionally, Personio's customer service is excellent, and I can always get in touch with helpful agents when I have questions or need help.

What do you dislike about Personio?

The platform's limited customization possibilities are one thing I find bothersome. Although the software has a wide range of features, it can be challenging to adjust it to meet our unique needs. Furthermore, even though the reporting capabilities are a standout feature, I discover that producing reports can occasionally be time-consuming and difficult.

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

First off, compared to manually handling this data, Personio offers a centralized platform for managing employee data, which saves us a ton of time and work. Second, it simplifies our time off administration procedure, making it simple for employees to submit requests and managers to grant them. With tools like job posting, applicant tracking, and candidate communication all available within the platform, the software has also helped us improve our hiring procedure. Overall, utilizing Personio has been beneficial for our firm because it has helped us to manage our people resources more effectively, freeing up time and resources to concentrate on other aspects of the business.

"Personal Experience as a Designer"
What do you like best about Personio?

One of the things I like best about Personio is its intuitive and user-friendly interface. The platform is easy to navigate, and I appreciate how everything is clearly laid out and organized in a logical manner. This makes it easy for me to manage HR-related tasks, such as tracking employee data, managing payroll, and conducting performance reviews.

What do you dislike about Personio?

While I generally find Personio's interface to be intuitive and user-friendly, there are times when I find it a bit clunky. For example, when I'm trying to navigate between different pages or sections, there can be a slight lag or delay that slows me down.

What problems is Personio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Personio is solving a number of HR-related problems by providing a comprehensive and streamlined platform for managing a wide range of tasks and processes. My personal performance has improved since I have almost any hr related information available on this platform.
