Co-Founder, Vice President and General Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent employee onboarding experience" February 6, 2018 4.0 HR Compliance Pros The best part of this software is its digital signature and onboarding features. Hiring employees, signing employment agreements and ensuring all the right information is collected during the onboarding process is now a snap! Cons The platform continues to be developed, so it is a matter of time before improvements are made. I wish the documents feature had a "Sort" function so documents can be sorted by name or by date, to improve search capabilities. Review Source EB Emma B. Hiring Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A review of collage from a hiring manager" July 7, 2021 5.0 Streamlined, effortless, game-changing, and the staff are all super helpful and kind. On many occasions I have reached out to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], she has responded quickly and been great at helping me with the issues I was having. Pros This software has really impacted the way our company hires. We are a construction company and are expanding quickly, bringing on around 4 new hires a week. Collage has made the entire vetting and onboarding process streamlined and effortless by consolidating everything into one easy timeline. The best part is you have full control over where the candidate is in the timeline, right from their application to onboarding, furthermore you can make notes and track the vetting process at each stage. I think what has saved us the most headache is how easy the onboarding process is, being able to send out multiple documents and training packages at the click of a button is game-changing. Cons To be honest I really haven't found anything that I don't like. At the moment, one of the biggest things that we are working on is planning out a set of clear goals and key performance indicators that we could use to track our employees' progress. I'm not sure if this is something that we would be able to utilize collage for, we have briefly spoken about it with our representative. We would be looking to integrate our scheduling software with whatever software we use to use data to track the employees' goals. Reason for choosing Collage HR We still use close for sales, collage was more appropriate for the company's hiring needs.

Cons Wish that it was easier to see when vacations were taking place in more of a calendar style view. Review Source RM Robin M. Director, Human Resources Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly! " July 20, 2021 5.0 As an HR professional, Collage is one of the simplest HRIS platforms I have ever used and I would highly recommend it to other companies. The benefits integration with our provider makes it so simple for the HR team and the admin required is painless! Pros Collage is so user friendly. It makes onboarding very easy and very little training is needed in order for a new employee to be able to use Collage. Cons There are still some areas of improvement that can be made to the APS, but I have seen improvement slowly be implement over the last couple of years. I look forward to the continued development of it. Also, with the training platform, we use it a lot to track all of our training but again, some room for small improvements here too. For example, ensuring that the employee has actually reviewed the content before being able to click they have completed it. Recently quizzes have been added which is a fantastic addition. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Vice President, Operations Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Tetranex Solutions Review" January 11, 2019 4.0 Collage has greatly reduced our HR costs. We are very happy to have switched over and look forward to growing together. Pros Collage is very straight forward and easy to navigate. The price is great compared to our former web-based software HR platform and the fact that it is Canadian is very helpful. The benefit administration has also proven to be very helpful. Online support always follows up, and I very much appreciate that. Cons I know Collage is still relatively new, but some of the feature requests that have been submitted still haven't come to fruition. For example, the inability to sort reports with the platform. I wish you could click on a report column heading and have it auto-sort (i.e. alpahbetically, numerically, etc). I also have requested the ability to create folders in each individuals "Documents" tab so we can organize documents accordingly. Review Source Response from Collage January 31, 2019 Hi there and thank you for your feedback! It's very meaningful to us to hear what is working well and where we can improve. As per your request, we have just launched the ability to create folders in your "Documents" tab. You can learn more in our help guide: http://support.collage.co/documents/document-folders Please don't hesitate to contact your account manager if you have any questions. We look forward to growing together, too! -Team Collage AL Angele L. Manager, HR Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for a start up company" August 4, 2021 4.0 Overall, I find it very useful for day to day HR functions. It is also a safe way to have employees upload sensitive information Pros It is easy to use - intuitive for the most part. Does a great job of automating recruitment and onboarding. Also really great at keeping track of employee data Cons there are some areas that just are not robust enough - the training , the performance management. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Project Analyst Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Basic, but it does the job" May 29, 2018 4.0 Track employee information in one spot! Helps to make onboarding, offboarding and vacation/time off requests easy. Pros Good system when it was offered for free. Makes onboarding/offboarding easy with customized email reminders to make the experience seamless. Allows a company to have important information in one spot. Also great for tracking vacation and time-off requests. Cons No longer offered for free. Great for small to medium sized companies, but I wouldn't recommend it for a larger company. There are comparable options out there. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer QA Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use" October 13, 2020 5.0 I've used collage regularly for requesting time off and documentation. It's nice to have one place to go. Pros I am able to easily request vacation time and other time for days off. I can also easily find any documents I am looking for within Collage. Cons It would nice if "Company Calendars" was an actual calendar however it easily syncs with google calendar so it's not a big deal. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager, Talent Acquisition Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple, clean, basic HRIS - perfect for SMB's!" December 15, 2017 4.0 \- great features for the price-point, perfectly serves a SMB that doesn't need enterprise-level HRIS software - very basic without comprehensive set of features, although they take feedback seriously and are making constant improvements! Pros \- clean and easy to use as a user or admin - employee "self serve" or "self enrolment" options to enter their own info - integrates seamlessly with benefits provider - mobile-friendly Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder & CTO Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A solid HR system" January 11, 2019 5.0 Pros \- As a department head, it's easy to manage staff - Staff find the interface simple to use - Integration into calendars is very useful Cons \- For some reason, my login sessions never last past a single use. Review Source CK Catheryn K. Manager, Human Resources Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great intuitive HRIS for small to mid sized businesses" January 14, 2019 4.0 The software doesn't do everything that I'd like it to do now but I've used many HRIS and there is always something that is a miss in any system. But Collage seems to listen and is constantly launching updates and improvements and I know they will get there. The service people there are always trying to make it better. It really is a system and company geared to truly supporting our business and HR people out there. Pros I really like the software if intuitive as an HR person. The customer service and support has also been great so far. The feature suggestion button is great and they actually do listen to customer feedback. The connection to our benefits is a nice feature. The ability to set email reminders to employees is also great. Cons It is still evolving and there are some small enhancements that need to be done but I have confidence they will get done over time since Collage seems very in tune with their customer. The performance review module is good but needs some ability to be able to set dates to launch it in the future and to also repeat those dates and as of now you need to set a launch date each and every time for every single person. I'm not so sure about exchanges with payrolls and other systems. Review Source JG Jeff G. HR Manager Public Policy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Collage HR Review" December 7, 2017 3.0 At this specific time in Collage's lifespan, I would be hesitant to recommend them unless you were looking for something very basic. But even then, WebHR is comparable in price and has a plethora of useful features that Collage does not. Pros The employee directory, organizational chart, and employee profiles are very user friendly. Even our more mature staff who barely use email were able to maneuver through the software. Cons Collage is very new and contains minimal features. Their time off module didn't seem to work for us as they couldn't get time off requests down to the hour. Review Source JD Jackie D. Writer Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I seriously love it" September 13, 2020 5.0 Collage is fantastic for my place of work. We have a lot of employees, so this made onboarding super easy and facilitated in payroll and scheduling. Pros Collage has made administrative tasks easier than any other similar platform I've ever used at a job. It is completely user-friendly and I feel secure in the data protection. It has made booking off time, sorting through financials, and onboarding so simple. I love it. Cons It is very quick to time me out and log me off! Which I guess is a strong security feature but sometimes I feel as though it booted me out too quickly. Otherwise I have zero complaints about this software and hopefully will be able to keep using it for years to come. Review Source GI Garci I. Chief Operating Officier Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Collage is a perfect fit for our needs. I'm impressed with quality of customer support!" June 8, 2017 5.0 Pros It's easy to use. Updates and new features are proposed on a real regularly basis. Custumer support is great. Design is lean and effective! Cons As is a new product, some features are missing, but since I started working with Collage a lot of the missing features have been developed or are in their backlog. Collage team is also really interested in our feedback. Review Source EB Erin B. Director of Operations Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good experience with a helpful tool" August 2, 2017 5.0 Everything centralized in one place, better time off tracking, easier to track reviews. Pros Simple, clean design with the features that we need. Less complicated and easier to use than other similar products such as Bamboo HR. Customer service is generally prompt and I can see that updates and improvements are being made. The price is right as well! Cons I've experienced a couple bugs, some of which I'm still waiting to get fixed. A few features such as the calendar function don't work well with our cloud environment and some other features like the time off policy and PTO calendar editing permissions are a little inflexible for our needs but we have found workarounds. Review Source NS Natasha S. Human Resources Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "user friendly, easily accessible anywhere/anytime, great reporting" October 19, 2017 5.0 Pros I like that its very easy of use and there is a logical flow and sequence to adding or editing information. I also like that it is web based so I can access information anywhere I have an internet connection. Review Source EG Elisha G. Head of Human Resources Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Collage created a hassle-free product that simplifies the information transfer process for our team." June 7, 2017 3.0 \- vacation tracking and approvals - self-serve benefits admin Pros self-serve benefits admin for employees - love how Collage's functionality gives the employee the power to manage their own coverage and information updates. Cons some quirks: vac listed as hours \*and\* days, can't click into vac dates, lack of viewing permissions, custom fields have to be completed after onboarding, manager cannot override vacation in probation period Review Source Kavindu Githsara K. System Specialist E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Why Collage HR is the All-In-One HR Management Platform You Need" March 15, 2023 5.0 Overall, Collage HR is an excellent HR management platform that has streamlined our HR processes and improved our overall efficiency. While there are some areas for improvement, the platform's robust features and ease of use make it a valuable tool for any HR team. Pros As a user of Collage HR software in a company, I can confidently say that it has significantly improved our human resources processes. Collage HR is an all-in-one HR management platform that includes features such as employee onboarding, time off management, benefits administration, performance management, and more. The platform is easy to use and provides a comprehensive view of all HR activities.One of the standout features of Collage HR is its employee onboarding process. The platform provides a customizable onboarding checklist that guides new hires through the necessary steps to get up and running. Additionally, Collage HR has made it easy for our HR team to manage employee benefits. The platform allows us to easily enroll employees in benefits and manage ongoing changes.Another positive aspect of Collage HR is its reporting capabilities. The platform provides a variety of HR reports that give us insight into key HR metrics, such as employee turnover and benefits utilization. The reports are easy to generate and provide valuable data that helps us make informed decisions. Cons there are also some areas where Collage HR could improve. The platform does not currently offer a native payroll feature, which means we have to use a separate payroll system. Additionally, the platform's performance management module could be more robust, with additional features such as goal setting and career development plans. Review Source SF Samuel F. CEO Furniture Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Extremely disappointed" May 9, 2022 2.0 I rarely write reviews, and when I do they're almost always very positive ones. Unfortunately, I cannot express how dissatisfied I am with my experience using Collage and it's gotten to a point where I felt compelled to write the review I would have liked to read during my selection process. - I was lied to during the selection process, their 'automations' are all manual and error-prone. Since a lot of it is manual, the time-savings aren't as high as they promised. - Employees pays are frequently wrong and it's quite frustrating for our employees (and for me as the manager). - Vacation tracking was off and caused more frustrations with employees - And the list goes on and on. Pros I like the simplicity of the software and the ease of use. Cons Missing a bunch of features promised during the selection process. Their time off feature is terrible, they don't adapt for holidays and we've paid employees who have left the company too much because of the way Collage's software is configured. Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing Collage HR Because of their said promised integrations with payroll and insurance in the province of Quebec (which turned out to be false, they're not connected to our payroll system nor are they connected to our insurance provider, everything is done manually by Collage and it's causing human errors). Review Source TD Tiffany D. HR Coordinator Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Gets the job done but could improve" November 1, 2023 3.0 It gets the job done, but I wish things like syncing calendars to outlook was easier, or MS Team was included on the calendar sync Pros Reports are easy to access, and time off is easy to input Cons I wish the report were more customizable Alternatives considered [JazzHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/87750/JazzHR/)[Workable](https://www.capterra.com/p/130175/Workable/) Reason for choosing Collage HR We are a small company and Collage was the best fir for the price Review Source ZA Zara A. Director of Administration Music Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Made our HR process way more efficient" July 28, 2021 5.0 Overall, it's been a great time saver and wonderful to have everything in one place. Pros I love that it's easy to use for all staff, regardless of their tech capacities. The deployment was seamless and Collage made it really easy with one on one training for admin. It has made things like recruitment, employee data base management and time-off tracking SO much better for our company and diminished so many manual processes before. Cons There are not that many cons. There are a few features that would be nice to add - but I am sure they will come as they continue to work on the software. Reason for choosing Collage HR I chose Collage because the recruitment feature seemed perfect for our needs and also because it synced with our benefits provider, which was a nice bonus. Review Source Ben A. Financial Controller Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Intuitive, great HRIS with excellent customer service" December 5, 2018 5.0 It's been amazing for the price, the whole company has really adopted it quickly, even the older staff. It's a beautiful user interface to be honest, we have removed a lot of issues around time-off and around performance management and saved on recruiting costs. Pros Its ease of use, the customer support is amazing, always new updates making it better. Recruiting integration with indeed.com. Performance reviews. Integrates with GWL benefits and Wagepoint payroll. Cons Training module has potential to be a bit more comprehensive, would be nice to be able to design courses in the software. Time-off could use a bit more detail when it presents on the company Outlook calendar, would be nice to see the exact hours people are off during each particular day. Review Source Margaux M. People Operations Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Our company loves Collage!" December 5, 2018 5.0 We did not have an HRIS before Collage so we improved so many things I hardly know where to start: even just having an automated way to track time off was a big bonus for us. We love the PTO calendars and the onboarding and offboarding tasks. The ATS was a huge improvement because it made it so much easier to keep track of interview processes with multiple people involved. And my account manager is always there to walk through new ideas with me and help me make the most of Collage. Pros It's easy to get up and running, very intuitive from both user and administrator perspective, and their customer support is outstanding. Cons When we first started using Collage there were a few minor annoyances, but their product development team is so responsive, most of these have all been resolved in the 9 months since we have been using it. The only thing left they need is Single Sign-On with Google. Review Source CO Corrina O. Human Resources and Communications Coordinator Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent for a small business" July 5, 2021 4.0 Pros Easy and simple to use. Always updating and improving their product. Easy to contact customer service who always answers my questions in a timely manner. Cons Some improvements could be made with annotating documents. There should be an option for us to be able to create our own dynamic fields. Review Source Jonas B. Chief Operations Officer Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The right solution at the right time" February 7, 2019 4.0 Collage has been a fantastic partner. From the on-boarding process to occasional support, they are professional, friendly and great at what they do! Pros The system is very intuitive and easy to operate. Both administrative staff and employees enjoy the simplicity of the platform. Cons I would like thought and design into the HR policy and procedure requirements that a company has. A documentation and review management policy app would really help manage an overwhelming process.
