“Das Ideal ist das, was wir jetzt mit Grouper haben.”
“I was new to HR and kept nodding along in meetings while having no idea what ATS or FLSA meant. The BambooHR glossary was my secret weapon for the first six months.”
Was unsere Kunden sagen
Das Ideal ist das, was wir jetzt mit Grouper haben.
Bei unserer Einstellungsgeschwindigkeit haben Sie keine Zeit, zu googeln oder sich Videotutorials anzusehen. Die Tatsache, dass wir jemanden zum Sprechen haben und uns sehr schnell praktikable Lösungen liefern, ist von unschätzbarem Wert. Ihr Kundenservice ist unerreicht.
Die Zusammenarbeit mit Grouper war fantastisch. Unser Account-Manager ist freundlich, entgegenkommend und zugänglich. Ihr Wissen und Ihre Expertise ist großartig und es gibt große Beruhigung, dass ich dem System vertraue, das es tun soll. Es hat unser Team stark entlastet.
Die Implementierung verlief reibungslos. Grouper war immer ansprechbar und unser Account-Manager ist gewissenhaft und aufmerksam und flexibel hinsichtlich der Zeit und Unterstützung, die sie uns gegeben haben. Selbst jetzt, wo das System etabliert ist, werden wir, wenn wir eine E-Mail senden oder eine Anfrage haben, mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit innerhalb einer Stunde eine Rückmeldung erhalten.
It would be difficult to find a replacement system of the quality and accessibility that we found, for the price and the ease of implementation. Grouper is absolutely an upgrade on what we had before. Interactions are as frequent as we need them, and our contact is typically flexible to have quick calls to discuss. That availability is helpful.
In vielen Transaktionen ist der Verkäufer nicht an der Transformation beteiligt. Moji ist in seinem Feld ziemlich einzigartig, weil er sich in die Gedankenwelt der HR-Praktiker hineinversetzt, aber er versteht auch das Geschäft und er ist auch sehr technisch. Er kann es dorthin schalten, wo er es braucht. Es war das beste Klassenpaket.
Systeme kommen und gehen und Menschen können Übergaben durchlaufen, aber da ist etwas sehr Einzigartiges daran, wie leidenschaftlich und fähig Moji ist. Er war im Büro und hat jeden getroffen und geschult. Eine solche Beratungsstufe findet man nicht überall.
Bis zu 85% unserer Arbeitswoche wurden mit Rekrutierung, Verträgen und Angebotsschreiben verbracht. Jetzt würde ich sagen, dass unsere administrative Belastung um etwa 40% gesunken ist, weil wir nicht mehr E-Mails um E-Mails durchforsten.
Wir hatten vorher kein HR-System; alles war manuell und in Tabellenkalkulationen. Grouper hat alles so einfach gemacht und es war eine echte Veränderung, nicht nur für mich, sondern auch für unsere Manager. Sie schicken mir keine E-Mails mehr mit Informationsanfragen. Ich würde sagen, es hat den administrativen Teil um ca. 40% reduziert.
Es ist der Kundenservice, in dem sie sich hervorgetan haben. Ich war überrascht, dass man eine bestimmte Person bei einem Problem per E-Mail erreichen konnte. Sobald wir eine Anfrage haben, ist er so schnell wie nie zuvor zurück. Und es ist immer gelöst. Man kennt nicht dieses Verhalten vieler anderer Anbieter, die eine generische Antwort senden oder es gibt keine Flexibilität.
Zu Beginn war das Serviceniveau sehr hoch. Wir hatten die Gelegenheit, mit unserem Account Manager zusammenzuarbeiten, der hervorragend war. Er ist so serviceorientiert und möchte unsere Bedürfnisse und Probleme verstehen. Er ist so schnell: Wenn ich eine Anfrage habe, antwortet er immer sofort, und wir sind wirklich zufrieden.
With many vendors, reaching out for support often means receiving automated replies and waiting a week for a response. Even then, the replies can feel scripted. With Grouper, however, the support feels more personalised, and solutions are handled efficiently.
Es ist von enormem Wert. Unser Account Manager ist in diesem Stadium ein guter Freund. Er springt gerne bei einem Anruf rein, um eine bestimmte Systemfunktion zu demonstrieren oder sie Schritt für Schritt zu erklären. Ich sende morgens eine E-Mail, und er ist in ein paar Stunden zurück. Es ist großartig, jemanden auf persönlicher Ebene zu haben, mit dem man interagieren kann.
Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit. Sie gehen Dinge immer sehr schnell an. Wir sind ein großes Team und träumen davon, Dinge etwas zu erleichtern. Manchmal kommen wir auf Ideen, von denen wir glauben, dass sie erreichbar sind, also wenden wir uns immer an Grouper. Ich habe alle Informationen zugänglich, ich muss nicht nach einer physischen Akte suchen: Alles ist dort auf der Plattform. Unschätzbar!
Bei einigen Outsourcing-Anbietern weiß man nicht, wer antwortet oder wie lange man warten muss. Während ich einfach immer Grouper anschreibe und sie direkt zurückkommen und immer eine Lösung finden werden.
Wir sind seit 2019 bei Grouper und sehen sie als einen sehr engen Partner. Wir würden auch anerkennen, dass sie unser Geschäft verstehen.
Grouper were so supportive: anything we needed, they helped us with. They gave us demos for features like managing annual leave quotas, so it was just a matter of clicking a few buttons.
Das ist die Schönheit der Zusammenarbeit mit einem Unternehmen wie Grouper. Wir sind ein kleines KMU und die Art von Unterstützung, die wir brauchen, bekommen wir genau.
Grouper ist sehr reaktionsschnell und unser Account Manager verfügt über großes Wissen und kann uns Ideen geben und zeigen, wie wir das System noch stärker nutzen können. Der Service war sehr reibungslos: Es ist eine große Veränderung, aber das Team war sehr reagierfähig und teilt auch gerne Informationen.
Grouper hat seinen Sitz in Irland, daher war die Kommunikation und die Unterstützung aus unserer Sicht deutlich einfacher. Sie arbeiten sehr effizient, sie beantworten alle unsere E-Mails zeitnah. Sie führen Nachfolgegespräche und organisieren bei Bedarf Meetings, um Probleme zu besprechen, und lösen sie effektiv.
Unser Account Manager war aufmerksam und wirklich reaktionsschnell. Es ist keine kleine Aufgabe, Software-Systeme zu migrieren, daher standen wir ziemlich häufig in Kontakt. Er sorgte dafür, dass ich rechtzeitig das bekam, was ich brauchte. Mir ging die Kommunikation transparent, sodass ich immer wusste, was passiert.
At the start, Grouper were very helpful. I remember I compiled a list of questions over the first few weeks and we set up a call. The support has always been very helpful, they can come into our system, share the screen and show us live how to use the system.
Ich würde sagen, der Service ist sehr benutzerfreundlich, unterstützend, mit schnellen Reaktionszeiten. Die Kundenerfahrung ist gut. Und da derselbe Account Manager die Beziehung aufgebaut hat, weiß ich, dass ich anrufen kann, und es gibt Flexibilität in Bezug darauf, wie dieser Support bereitgestellt wird. Diese Konsistenz, die wir mit Grouper erhalten, ist sehr wertvoll.
Grouper helped us to navigate a difficult time in the best possible way, as a kind of translator for the system.
Was ist einzigartig an Grouper? Ich würde sagen, sie sind sehr reaktionsschnell, zuverlässig und unterstützend. Als wir versuchten, Leistungsbeurteilungen automatisch im System zu integrieren, hatten wir ein paar Anrufe, in denen sie einen Bildschirm geteilt haben, um mir zu zeigen, wie man es richtig einstellt. Dank Grouper.
Unser Account Manager ist sehr, sehr hilfsbereit und wird immer zu einem Anruf bereit sein. Es könnten nur wenige Minuten sein, aber es ist viel einfacher, mit jemandem zu sprechen und den Bildschirm zu teilen. Kürzlich wollte ich ein Feld ändern und den Job-Tab anpassen. Das hat er wirklich schnell erledigt. Bei anderen Systemen habe ich Zeit damit verbracht, etwas herauszufinden und es vielleicht irgendwann zu schaffen, aber es hat eine Stunde gedauert.
Grouper-Weg ist sehr hilfreich und persönlich finde ich das wirklich nützlich, weil es Zeit spart und am Ende des Tages spart das dem Unternehmen Geld, weil ich keine Zeit mehr mit der Suche nach Informationen verliere.
Ich habe das Gefühl, wenn ich unseren Account Manager erreichen muss, wird er sein Bestes tun, eine Lösung zu finden. Er kennt das System wirklich gut, also ist sein technisches Wissen wirklich gut. Wenn ich zu ihm gehe, bekomme ich technisches Fachwissen und er versucht, andere Probleme mit der Lösung zu klären. Zu wissen, dass Grouper uns als Kunde unterstützt, gibt mir ein stärkeres Gefühl der Sicherheit.
What makes Grouper stand out to me is, we jump on a call and we have the chance to overcome that barrier in communication you can get with emails, or sending tickets to be resolved.
Ich brauchte nur etwas, das mein Leben erleichtert, statt überall manuelle Akten zu haben. Grouper war so hilfreich, sie haben alles wie von mir verlangt eingerichtet und das machte es mir leichter, mich im System mit den vorhandenen Informationen zurechtzufinden.
I found Grouper really helpful. We had a few training sessions and they tailored them to the individual or to the questions I had.
We implemented in a matter of weeks whereas if it was left to me, it probably would have delayed the rollout, at a time when I am time poor. It meant the team could look after their own records and I just had to look after the approvals.
Wir hatten immer einen persönlichen Ansprechpartner bei Grouper, der sehr praxisnah war, besonders in den frühen Phasen.
W aufgrund der Branche, in der wir tätig sind, legen wir wahrscheinlich mehr Wert auf Kundenservice-Aspekte, und diese Reaktionsfähigkeit ist für uns enorm wichtig. Das hat mir geholfen, mit dem Support sehr zufrieden zu sein. Unser Account Manager ist immer gut darin, zurückzukommen, und ich schätze die persönliche Note: Einen einzelnen Ansprechpartner zu haben, ist wirklich hilfreich, genauso wie unsere Kunden es schätzen, eine vertraute Ansprechperson zu haben.
