What do you like best about Workstream?

We have been using Workstream as our Interviewing & Onboarding system since December 2021. At the time, this HR system was used by very few Chick-fil-A restaurants and now it is the preferred system for our company. I love all the features it provides, including the e-signature feature. That saves so much time! I like how easy it is to set up interview availability, as well as communicate easily with candidates. We are grateful to have chosen Workstream and highly recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstream?

I would say the least helpful thing about Workstream was that it was not linked to our internal HR/ Payroll system originally, but now it is and it saves so much time automatically syncing new hires into our system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Workstream controls our candidate sourcing, so it saves us time with recruiting. It automatically loads users into our internal system which is great because it saves us from manually inserting all the information. I also like how each team member has a profile where we can easily upload documents to their account for organization of files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workstream?

The ease of viewing applicants, setting interview times, and managing the application process. Very user friendly application for both me and the applicants to use. We were able to switch from our old provider to this in one day, and implement it quickly with out missing applicants applying. They have a great support staff that is quick to respond to your needs. Most of the time in under 2 minutes. I use this every day to view applicants, see what I have set up for interviews. Overall the system is very user friendly.

What do you dislike about Workstream?

Have had some glitchy minor issues, user not being able to log into the employee app, or one user having something glitchy in their profile. all minor and taken care of very quickly once a a ticket was opened Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem it solves for me as a small restaurant owner is the amount of talent it attracts for my job postings. I literally had 100 applicants within a 2 day period for a QSR style restaurant. It helps me communicate directly with applicants while keeping my info private. Onboarding is a breeze and payroll is even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workstream?

The hiring and onboarding new team members—is super simple and straightforward. What really stands out, though, is their customer service. Anytime I’ve had a question, the chat support has been incredibly fast and polite. It just makes everything feel easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workstream?

What I like least is that the initial setup for job postings can be pretty time-consuming—especially if you’re hiring for multiple positions. It takes a while to get everything customized the way you want. Also, if you need to make updates, you have to go into each individual posting to apply the changes, which can be a bit tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Workstream is helping simplify and streamline our hiring process, which saves me a ton of time. Everything from reviewing applicants to onboarding is all in one place, and it’s easy to use. It takes a lot of the back-and-forth out of hiring and helps me stay organized and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My team is multicultural and multi-generational, and they all have found Workstream to be the best and easiest to use! We love the ability to create systems for individual roles, and we have one platform from sourcing to onboarding!
