This is complete with 'signable' employee handbooks, employee records for payroll, electronics and equipment tracking, recruiting and on-boarding, etc., all in one space. Implementing HR Partner has alleviated stress across management not only due to the ability to collate documents and time-off requests in one central location, but the ability to have checks and balances in place company-wide. Pros The overall ease of use, layout and functionality was my main attraction to HR Partner. The platform is intuitive, with a plethora of options and the ability to personalize features was wonderful. The support from the team and online tutorials only made the set up process even easier. Cons Nothing. Any time I had a question, the support team was readily available.

" March 30, 2025 5.0 A great experience! I have felt very supported along the entire journey. Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] has been an incredible point of contact form beginning to end. She answered all my questions (and if she didn't have the answer straight, she was very quick to get it!). An excellent resource of information and very personable. Cons The integration with xero isn't super smooth, but this is more because of xero.

The support team is always very helpful, and we can't fault their customer service. While the platform may be missing some features compared to some of the big players in the Australian market, we felt this was reflected in their lower cost and flexible pricing plans. Pros This platform's cost is fantastic compared to some of its competitors, and it has allowed us the flexibility we need for our startup business. Cons The platform does require a lot of customisation of settings and self setup, but this is reflected in the low cost. However, the support team is always on hand to help and guide you through the process. There are several features that the platform is missing compared to its competitors but they have been developing some of these and we've seen some new features this year which have been great.

January 12, 2026 5.0 I have been using HR Partners for almost a year and its been so nice and effective its all in one place! Pros I love how easy it is to use and understand. It's simple to add custom questions and track PTO. Simple to use. Cons Wish it had an app to make it easier on the employees to access. Would love to be easier to upload a form to be fillable.

We’ve experienced 1 system glitch but other than that we’ve had to major issues. Pros We use this platform to manage leave and employee records. It’s fairly easy to navigate through both as an admin and as an employee. Cons It doesn’t calculate the leave entitlement automatically so you have to manually input this information. Also, the custom forms don’t also download correctly as a pdf. Alternatives considered [Youmanage](https://www.capterra.com/p/160449/Youmanage/) Reason for choosing HR Partner I liked the options of different uses and integrations they had to offer. Review Source Response from HR Partner October 21, 2024 Hi Chelcie, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We very much appreciate the feedback. Your leave entitlements should automatically be calculated for existing employees. If this is not happening please reach out to our support team at support@hrpartner.io and they'd be happy to help. For any new employees, you will need to manually calculate their leave entitlements. To automate that process, we have a leave calculator which not only works out your employee’s starting leave balance but also their leave balance on a future date. You can access the calculator here https://www.hrpartner.io/leave-calculator.html Thanks again for your review, Debbie RG Ryan G.

We run into a few bugs or speed bumps but the support has been great to work with through the issues. Pros Provides a centralized place for all HR functions for a great price Cons There is no mobile app that exist for the platform Alternatives considered [Rippling](https://www.capterra.com/p/172127/Rippling/)[BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing HR Partner Way more robust with more features for the price Review Source GR Gabriella R. HR Officer Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wonderful! " March 7, 2023 5.0 HR partner has been an excellent software for our organisation. It has transformed how we manage and look after our employees. All the features are really useful and intuitive, and we have really enjoyed finding out what the system can do and how it can help with both our daily administrative tasks and wider strategy objectives. The system provides a great user experience for all staff as well, particularly when booking leave. We have had a fantastic onboarding process with \[sensitive content hidden\] who has been incredibly helpful and is always quick to assist us with our queries. The support team as well are brilliant and reliable and we would recommend this system to anyone who asks. The team behind HR Partner are always searching for ways to improve the software as well and listen to any feature requests we may have which is great. After searching for an HR system to use, we are very glad to have happened upon HR Partner! Pros The approach to being introduced to this product was great by the support team. It was really easy to book a demo and find out all of the information. The support team didn't push the sale on us (as we found other companies did), instead they just showed us what it could do and we went through the various features and discussed how it might be a good fit for our organisation. The implementation was really good as well and we felt supported throughout. It also has great integrations with payroll and recruitment softwares as well. Cons With any software there are a few things that can't be done however what we like about HR partner is that they always can find a way around this for you and if not can put through a feature request for you.

As mentioned, we felt the demo session was great whereas a lot of the other softwares we looked into felt very much like a sales call and in cases quite pushy. Overall we really liked the look of HR partner as well and how it was very intuitive and user friendly. Review Source LR Lisa R. Co-Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful Time Efficient Functions" January 8, 2026 4.0 Pros The HR Partner System help with internal communications via their Checklist function. In addition, I find the 'Reminder' notification capabilities very time efficient. Plus there support staff and very responsive to questions and issues. Cons The images are a bit naff - they could be a bit more sophisticated with the available graphics that is on the market. Review Source KK Kathryn K. Systems Manager Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Responsive support and streamlined HR compliance and HR processes" June 25, 2025 5.0 Very good. I enjoy being able to find, share and manage our HR documents and the auto-hassle feature for chasing e-signatures, checklists and forms is excellent! Pros HR Partner have support who actually respond usefully and promptly every time, they have excellent online help resources and regular training. The streamlined onboarding and other HR compliance processes we have achieved via HR Partner are professional and time saving. Cons Some slight lag in processing time evident to us in Australia. Gives you time to reflect on the process you are undertaking! Review Source EG Emily G. Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Simple and Reliable HR Tool for Growing Teams Like Us :)" January 12, 2026 5.0 Overall, HR Partner is a dependable and easy-to-use HR management tool. It’s especially well-suited for small to medium-sized businesses looking for a straightforward solution to manage employee records, recruitment, and HR processes without complexity. Pros Clean, user-friendly interface Easy employee record management Good balance of features without unnecessary complexity Affordable compared to larger HR systems Cons Applicant tracking could be more robust Customization options are somewhat limited Limited advanced reporting options Review Source MR Michael R. Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software for managing all the tasks that go with employing people" January 13, 2026 5.0 Cant say enough about it. Well worth the investment. Streamlines everything right from the point of hire through to termination. Pros It is just a great program. Makes managing people much easier with everything you need in the one place Cons There is honestly nothing that I can say I do not like about this software. Feature rich and ease of use. Some things have a learning curve when yo do it for the first time but that’s about it. Review Source NP Nicole P. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "HR portal for Entrepreneurs" January 8, 2026 5.0 Pros What I like most about HR partner is my company’s ability to automate my employees on boarding process Cons What I like least about HR partner is the time clock feature. I would like to see a more streamline time tracking for the employees Review Source BT Brooke T. Office Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Suits us perfectly " March 19, 2024 4.0 We all really enjoy it, Everyone can see when people are taking time off. Managers can take more control by knowing and approving the leave without no one getting lost in the loop and they can easily find HR forms or questions about employees are all written there for them to find themselves. It look a while to set up but it has helped me immensely take a lot off my plate and added the aspect of working from home a lot easier Pros I like that its all in one spot and I can be anywhere and can still check this, I do get a lot less questions as most of them can find answers to their questions by themselves instead of harassing me. The timeclock feature has been very handy for our casuals that work odd hours that way they can clock in and out where they are done. I also like the checklists so that I can create something once and then assign them to employees or managers and they know what they need to do for certain tasks written right there in front of them. Every time I had a question it always got answered pretty quickly so that I was able to figure it out and keep going with setting the program up Cons It's a bit to set up so you need the time, I was very time poor at the beginning but I knew this would help me once I had it set up it was just moving everything across the platform. Sometimes the leave accruals aren't always correct and I still have to do a bit of updating in Xero with leave. I would also say some of the subjects on the side can be a bit confusing - I do have to keep re teaching the managers where things are Reason for choosing HR Partner It had more features and we were able to have more of a HR system instead of just a leave system Review Source VR Vanessa R. Operations Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great addition to our company!" March 13, 2020 5.0 We are happy to have implemented this software into our company. The support team have been great and are very knowledgeable. We had a great demo call and appreciated the 2 week trial. Following our setup, we were able to have another call with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] to check how we are integrating the system and iron out any niggles. We are looking forward to rolling out the software in the company and believe it will add a lot of value and save us a lot of time and energy! Pros Overall a great piece of software. The software makes it easy for Admins to control / amend holidays even after they have been approved. The chat function is great as you usually receive a response within 2 hours of submitting a query. It is great that the software has a recruitment function. We look forward to handling our internal recruitment on this. We have previously used a paper form application form for applicants but the recruitment function allows you to create a custom application form so this process can now be digitised for us. Furthermore, there is a great 'scorecard' function that allows you to collectively assess job applicants as a hiring team together, so it provides one easily accessible platform to handle internal recruitment. There are lots of ways to customise the software to tailor it to your business' needs e.g. adding your own leave categories, assigning different hours to different employees, assigning different permissions to the Admin users. Cons If a leave request is initiated by an Admin rather than an employee, the leave request will not display on the employee's recent leave requests. Also, employees can only view their annual leave calendar on a monthly basis rather than being able to view the whole year in one go. Furthermore, days off in their annual leave calendar do not state whether or not this was a half of whole day making it difficult for employees to track where they have taken leave. On our previous software, employees were also able to request 0.5 days off whereas this software forces you to input the hours and minutes for a half day... this is not a huge issue but just leaves more room for error with employees having to work this out for themselves. I have submitted these issues as a request for improvement with the developers so hopefully they can implement these changes! Review Source JD Jenny D. Operations Manager Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HR Partner product review" February 22, 2024 4.0 I highly recommend HR Partner to any organisation looking for a reliable and efficient HR management solution particularly the small to medium businesses looking to improve their system. Pros After extensive research for a robust HR management tool, we decided to implement HR Partner within our organisation, and though we are still new in using the program, we can already see positive results. What stands out about HR Partner is its user-friendly interface, which has made it easy for our HR team and employees to navigate through various modules without extensive training. The cloud-based system allows for remote access, which is a huge advantage for our team members who work from home or are on the go. One of the key features we've come to rely on is the employee self-service portal. It has empowered our employees to take charge of their personal details, request time off, and access important documents without having to go through HR for every little thing. This has not only saved our HR team valuable time but also improved employee satisfaction. Support from HR Partner has been exceptional. Whenever we have had questions or needed assistance, their team has been quick to respond and very helpful. It's clear that customer satisfaction is a priority for them. Their documentation is very comprehensive and easy to follow that helps a lot with the training and information sessions that we did. Cons If there's any drawback, it would be the learning curve associated with setting up some of the more complex workflows. However, once configured, these workflows have been instrumental in automating our processes. Review Source Lonnie J. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Complete HR Management Package" February 14, 2020 5.0 HR Partner is much better than the previous HR software we used. Switching to HR Partner was the best decision we could have made, having all employee information in a glance has made our life and work easier. Pros HR Partner has all the information we need about every employee, it is easy to use, it allows us to have different leave policies and holidays depending on the location of our staff, so we can personalize it according to our needs. The note system is great to keep a record of every detail we need to review in the future. It is flexible and intuitive and it has a lot of extra options other systems don’t have like recruitment and a document library where all training documents or manuals can be uploaded. Overall is a very complete system that covers every employee aspect we need. Cons The only issue I have is with the automatic leave accruals, I’m using the Upfront option where the employee will be allocated the entire default allowance at the start of the employment and every anniversary thereafter but I wish there was an option here where you can start the allowance on a certain date and not on the anniversary date. Reason for choosing HR Partner It provided by far the most value for the price. Review Source Response from HR Partner February 19, 2020 Hi Lonnie, thanks so much for your review. It's great to hear that HR Partner is helping you keep your HR records much more organized. Also, I wanted to let you know that we do have the ability to have leave allocated on a certain date that you can define. If you haven't found this yet, please contact our support and we'll help you with this. All the best, Fiona CB Clare B.

Pros Love the Tutorials this was a great place to start for me as I had never used this system before answered all my immediate questions with the helpful videos.HR Partner portal for Admin user and Staff portal is fantastic, it really is a one stop shop and if you are very creative, like I am, you will love the variety this system brings. Recruitment, Onboarding and Inductions along with Probations are now all built, with videos, forms, and e signature documents. Our first year for Performance reviews has been successful and hoping that the forms will soon be downloadable too as normal forms......the list is endless!! Cons Just when I think I can't do something I seek advice with the support team and they find me an alternative, and generally that works out better than my original idea.NO CONS from me.

They have been keen to work with us to develop solutions to meet our specific needs which has been great. The support chat function is really useful and quick to respond especially for quick fixes or advice. Although our issues with the leave calculations have taken a long time to be resolved, we understand it is quite specific to our company structure and appreciate the improvements put in place. Pros The ease of use is a definite plus. The navigation is great and really simple from both the admin perspective and the employee portal. Very easy to find the information you are looking for. Cons There have been a few issues where the software hasn't worked for the way our company is structured. An example of this is the annual leave which with our employees working various 2 week shift patterns has been difficult. Although it took a while to resolve, HR Partner have implemented a way to turn off the auto calculation in the leave field to allow us to use it but with the long delay it has meant we have struggled to use the platform to record leave Review Source Paul V. Director Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great HR Software" June 30, 2021 5.0 Excellent. Really solid platform for HR management. Pros Really simple to navigate interface, Well thought out software. Covers all the aspects we needed as a company and the staff love the online portal where they can manage all their holiday requests and profiles. Cons Not found anything that I don't like exactly but the signature section could be improved, sometimes the signing boxes don't save so you have to do it again.

Head Of Finance Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A leap from the past" January 22, 2024 5.0 Am having a really positive experience and easy access to support when needed has been really appreciated. Thanks. Pros For the first time in the history of our company all HR can be found within the same space, no more spreadsheets, paper records, multiple people moving the same data around. I'm not HR manager but was able to set up and mostly configure the system within the 14 day trial period, and with the support of HR Partner was able was to roll out to employees within 3 weeks. So far team feedback has been very positive on look and feel. Cons Nothing to add about the modules used so far. Reason for choosing HR Partner HR Partner had the best combination of user friendliness, functionality and price for our needs. Review Source DS Donna S. Bookkeeper Civil Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "HR Partner clearly LOVE their clients!" June 17, 2019 5.0 With HR Partner we can effectively monitor all of our employees' renewable memberships, licences etc without using spreadsheets anymore which was labourious and unreliable! All of our information and documents are stored in one place and easy to find instead of being scattered across multiple folders on the server, and I love the asset feature which allows me to quickly look up who has which computer or phone etc. Overall HR Partner is streamlining and simplifying the whole process and is so lovely to use! Pros I am very thankful that I found HR Partner. Being able to initially trial the program was a tremendous benefit and they were so patient and helpful during that time; they never once made me feel like I was wasting their time – I can’t thank them enough. Their responses to my questions during setup, integration and beyond have been prompt and personal and the team is always open to suggestions. The program is extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate, yet it can be used to accomplish an enormous amount and is highly flexible. With the Xero integration up and running, the leave application & approval process is a breeze. The team are available via email, on-line chat and even phone, which is rare and wonderful in an industry which is rapidly becoming very depersonalised. They clearly love their clients and are a pleasure to work with. Cons I haven't found anything to dislike. The team are so easy to talk to and so easy to get hold of that any issues (few as they have been!) are quickly resolved. They are open to suggestions and happy to implement changes where possible.

CEO and Co-founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Straightforward solution from recruitment through whole employee lifecycle" June 8, 2021 5.0 Excellent experience. Pros We were looking for a solution which had an Application Tracking System for recruitment, and worked as a database for our people and supported their HR needs throughout the employee lifecycle. Plus we wanted a good suite of APIs and documentation to allow us to integrate with other systems. HR Partner has given us all of this and we haven't regretted the choice. Cons It doesn't have some of the bells and whistles of more expensive HR software, but HR Partner do listen to the customers and add things to their roadmap. We have multiple shift workers on different working patterns, which is complicated for HR Partner's holiday booking. I'd like that to change, but appreciate that most organisations have simpler holiday booking needs.

It has helped our company a lot to be more organized. What I liked the most is that all the information and documentation of each employee is in one place. Even those that require a signature The HR Partner dashboard shows you an overview of your company's departments and your employees. And the most important thing for me is that it has tutorials for both the administrator and the employee on configuring and using the platform. Pros It is a very friendly and easy-to-use tool. Cons The only downside is that it does not have other languages, but I know they are working on it. Review Source Response from HR Partner November 25, 2021 Thanks so much for your review Hellen!
