"Solid ATS"

What do you like best about Paycor? The UI lays everything out in a really nice way. It shows at a glance where candidates are throughout the process. Probably one of the best things about it. What do you dislike about Paycor? Some features aren't there. It's not a new age super innovative tool. I would explore this as an option but not the best on the market. Recommendations to others considering Paycor: Demo this and several others on the market. I think Newton is good, but not the ...

"Powerful, user friendly ATS"

"Best ATS out there!"

What do you like best about Paycor? Love the intuitive interface - for both recruiters and hiring managers. Other ATS companies always claim they've designed their system from the recruiter's perspective, but Newton is the only one I've seen that actually does. Their dashboard is amazing and I also love their scheduling tool. Support is always fast to respond, however there are hardly ever any issues, so rarely need to contact them. What do you dislike about Paycor? I'm hard pressed to note ...

"Great Customer Service and Intuitive ATS"

What do you like best about Paycor? I haven't done a customer review before though Newton impressed me so much I felt the need to share. Last year I was charged with researching and presenting a business case to implement an applicant tracking system. After conducting numerous interviews, going over my criteria in an ATS and product demos, Newton stood out for me as an intuitive, progressive, and most importantly customer service driven company. From my initial contact with the sales rep. ...

"Newton is Built by Recruiters"

What do you like best about Paycor? There are many features we feel are great with Newton but the best is the fact that the system was built by recruiters, so they understand the needs and workflows required to streamline the recruitment process. The ability to post jobs, review resumes, schedule interviews, provide feedback and communicate with candidates all in one integrated system has improved our recruitment process to world class! What do you dislike about Paycor? There is really ...
