## Reviews

### "Employee Tool that Covers All Requirements" — 5.0/5

> **Nikita** | *09 July 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The interface is just great and easy to digest.&#10;Functionalities are not hidden and one can easily discover them without additional sources.&#10;Recruitment, calendars, tracking, all of these things are solved in Personio.
> 
> **Cons**: Some colleagues had their calendar days mixed up after an update. &#10;However, there are not so many things to complain about, little tweaks are needed here and there.

-----

### "A simple tool for a simple life" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *06 October 2024* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's a nice tool for keeping records and documentation regarding our interactions with the company.
> 
> **Cons**: It could have a little more information regarding the team (from the perspective of a team member, not the supervisor)
> 
> Personio is a simple tool with everything you need right at hand. The main screen has a summary of everything (dates, documents, and events), and it is possible to go inside each one of these screens and find more detailed information about them.

-----

### "Easy to use tool - easy to handle for employees" — 4.0/5

> **Christoph** | *17 April 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Time submission, absentee, vacation, leave mgmt all in one place.&#10;&#10;Nice visualization for org structures and easy to self service for employees
> 
> **Cons**: Document management such as reference letters are difficult to handle, little automation to write and create.
> 
> Easy to use tool - widely accepted through the company, also for all entities and countries. &#10;Needs little to no onboarding from user side.

-----

### "A clear, chic intuitive interface with all the relevant info one would look for." — 5.0/5

> **Maia** | *06 January 2025* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very intuitive. I also love the dashboard that gives you a clear overview of the info you need.
> 
> **Cons**: I sometimes get confused when the absences are limited to the year (ie overcarried absences arent subtracted from the total).
> 
> Excellent. Clear, chic interface. Also great to have the photos so you know people within the organisation immediately. Easy to edit and request changes with HR.

-----

### "User friendly all-around HR-tool" — 5.0/5

> **Maxi** | *19 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very user-centered design. The frequently used functions are all accesible within one or two clicks.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be great if they would have templates for frequently used times when clocking the working hours. So that you don't have to enter the same times every day manually
