It has grown with our company and the team are always bringing new features and improvements that consistently give us reason to continue using the platform and build our HR processes around it. > > **Cons**: When the inevitable changes came in and the "free forever" feature promises were broken, that wasn't great, but we understood. I find the reviews can be a tad clunky if I am honest, especially accessing old reviews. > > Overall, after all these years and multiple reviews of alternates (including cheaper options), we are still here with Charlie\! we love the platform and love how the team do things to keep making things better\! ----- ### "Most Accessible HR Software Available" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 November 2020* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The simple interface for managers and employees to view, action and report on various HR aspects. Being able to book a holiday and approve it within minutes, understanding the company hierarchy as it changes, completing checklists for onboarding new employees and more. Everything about Charlie HR is fantastic\! > > **Cons**: The software is still limited in terms of customisation (which will be improved over time I'm sure) such as reporting on specific activities (productivity or time tracking) to adding a carbon copy of our company handbook (instead of using their allocated template). Really, these are teething issues but could create much more value for a business long-term. > > Overall, I've had a great time using Charlie HR - it's accessible, simple to use and affordable\! ----- ### "It promised to have a free version forever...and then went only for paid" — 3.0/5 > **Josie** | *14 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was user-friendly, and had the basic HRIS functions. The different admin types were suited for different purposes (master admin, accountant, etc.) > > **Cons**: Some notifications (birthdays, work anniversaries) don't show up. Some of the settings are difficult to navigate. Lacks holiday calendar for Switzerland. ----- ### "Easy to use, beautifully designed HR Software" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *18 August 2018* | Venture Capital & Private Equity | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Onboarding my team and new employees is a very quick and incredibly smooth process. Moreover, the dashboard set-up allows me to know exactly what is going on in my team and what I need to action quickly. > > **Cons**: It used to be that they didn't have a performance management feature but this has just been rolled out so happy days\! > > Saves me a lot of time compared to running everything through google docs and spreadsheets. The UX is superb and it is beautifully designed. The weekly updates let us capture any changes for payroll and the checklist feature has really helped me and my team to run onboarding and offboarding much more smoothly. ----- ### "Brilliant product - would highly recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 August 2018* | Executive Office | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been using CharlieHR for a year now. As an Office Manager I very often need quick and easy access to information and CharlieHR offers just that. Simple to use, great user experience, a team who always seem ready and willing to take customer feedback and work on suggestions to improve or add to the product. I would definitely recommend. > > **Cons**: I have no complaints about CharlieHR so far\! ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/303337/charliehr?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/303337/charliehr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
