We really enjoy the buddy feature, as it has taken our employee buddy program to a new level and increases engagement. Instead of having to use paper forms and checklists for onboarding, and sending back and forth emails, tasks are easily delegated to the appropriate people in my office and there's more transparency in the process. > > **Cons**: Sapling has released a plethora of new features in the year that I've been on the platform, many from customer feedback. I'd like to see an Office 365 integration, as there currently is one with G Suite. ----- ### "Implemented Sapling Twice Now" — 4.0/5 > **Miyo** | *6 January 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've implemented Sapling twice and found it easy to use and with a good CS rep, it'll go smoothly and your questions will be answered quickly. Once everything is set up, it's super easy to use. > > **Cons**: There are still some functions that aren't that great; ie. start date change, but Sapling is working on it. > > Onboarding and offboarding has been enhanced in both companies I've implemented Sapling. The integrations have saved not only the People/HR team time, but other teams too\! ----- ### "Few Kinks to work out, but when it works it works" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 September 2020* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: When everything is set up, Sapling allows for a pretty smooth workflow when hiring new hires for your company > > **Cons**: It feels like there are a few kinks to work out. I have seen issues where signed candidate documents are wiped, requiring new hires to resign the documents. > > Like the title says, when it works, it works, but the kinks we experience hold it back from being a better system ----- ### "Sapling has taken our onboarding process to the next level both internally and externally." — 5.0/5 > **Kristy** | *20 February 2018* | Computer Software > > **Pros**: Long gone are the days of Google spreadsheets and assorted Google docs. Sapling has saved us so much time and hassle by having all of the tasks in one assigned spot. Additionally, we pride ourselves on our onboarding experience and all of our new hires have commented on how welcome they felt even before they started. Sapling delivers a personalized experiences meant to educate the new hire about the company and ensure that they're able to hit the ground running on day one. Additionally, the customer support is phenomenal. > > **Cons**: Sapling is a startup and still developing their technology so naturally has the occasional bug. The customer support is always great to help resolve any problems and I have no doubt that these will go away as they continue to grow ----- ### "Very clear and concise interface." — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *27 August 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very clear and concise interface. Varying levels of admin functions allow for complete control over editing company profile while also protecting conditional information. Support during the sale, contract and implementation have been fantastic. All questions answers and plan put in place to make sure we launch when planned. > > **Cons**: There is sometimes a delay when clicking in to edit tasks in workflows but it's not something that would stop me from using the software > > Automated all HR information tracking which has saved a huge amount of time from an admin perspective. Extremely beneficial when onboarding a new team member. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/59478/saplinghr?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/59478/saplinghr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
