The self-service employee app and customizable dashboards are functional features that appeal to medium-sized businesses and nonprofits. Setup typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on your data complexity and whether you're migrating from another ...Read more

"Newton provides a service at the most basic level."

What do you like best about Paycor? I love their customer service. Their response time is quick and they are knowledgeable. What do you dislike about Paycor? There are many functions that you may feel that Newton would be able to do, such as set up reminders, provide a drop down list of your company's job titles, or store job descriptions. Newton is unable to do the most basic of functions that would make applicant tracking much easier. Recommendations to others considering Paycor: I have ...

"Paystub Management"

What do you like best about Paycor? It's easy to view my paystub online. I can also adjust my W2. What do you dislike about Paycor? It's not as robust as other systems, and their CS don't all seem to be aligned. Recommendations to others considering Paycor: It's a great system but I did feel like the initial point of contact we had prior to implementation was significantly more helpful than the folks who implemented the software - things became a bit of a headache at that point. Other than ...

"User Friendly Scheduling System, lacks some finesse "

What do you like best about Paycor? I enjoyed how easy it was to use and to build templates. When we had a team of 65+ the template and auto-fill tools saved us so much time. What do you dislike about Paycor? I wish while using the program (It been 1.5 years since I moved positions,) that we were able to mass edit availability amongst the users of the program, vs having to edit each one individually as an admin. Recommendations to others considering Paycor: For simple scheduling, it is ...

"Solid ATS"

What do you like best about Paycor? Newton is a great tool for recruiting and I love that it integrates with Paycor, who is our payroll provider. What do you dislike about Paycor? I wish there was more room for customization. The Dashboard is helpful, but I wish we had more control over the columns, etc. Additionally, I wish there were more custom reports that we could run. What problems is Paycor solving and how is that benefiting you? Newton allows us to organize candidates and jobs. ...

"Great resource!"

What do you like best about Paycor? Communication between HR/Hiring Managers and candidates is outstanding. The ability to create templates saves so much time. What do you dislike about Paycor? The inability to text candidates via Newton. What problems is Paycor solving and how is that benefiting you? Hiring managers are more engaged in the recruiting process and, therefore, more engaged in the success of new hires, lowering turnover in the first 3 months on the job.

"Newton ATS Review"

What do you like best about Paycor? There aren't many aspects that I don't like. I love the Scheduler that integrates with Outlook and schedules scorecards after interviews. I love how customizations work for scorecards, emails and everything else. I can cater things exactly to my organization or to the position/candidate. The auto fill tokens are great. I have loved the reports and analytics and have recently presented to management and gave them accurate data. The best in the industry to ...

"Newton either meets our ATS needs immediately or adapts to them based upon customer feedback."

What do you like best about Paycor? Easy to use! Logical sequencing of tasks and progression of applicants. Great analytics! What do you dislike about Paycor? The EEO report does not include the Census codes. What problems is Paycor solving and how is that benefiting you? Newton tracks all applicant data and is accessible to hiring managers and appropriate team members. It is an easy to use applicant and communication tool.
