## Reviews

### "ELMO HR Management software" — 4.0/5

> **Nathan** | *2 October 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I primarily only use it as a end user, so from my point of view it is very simple UI easy to access information and manage my documents, I helped implementing it and the HR team loves it as it streamlined their operations immensely from the hiring process all the way through to their first day and beyond
> 
> **Cons**: I think the teething issues have been the biggest pain point and being in the IT and not having access did not help as we couldn't fix any of their technical issues easily but this was more on internal teams wanting to minimize access, now that it is more in the org it is getting better and hopefully next year it will be at its optimal potential

### "Elmo Payroll and HR Core excellent to use" — 5.0/5

> **Jody** | *5 June 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is a user friendly program between Elmo payroll and HR Core.  The extra products i.e. mobile app is also user friendly for all staff to use.
> 
> **Cons**: As we currently use SWAG for staff to log on and off, as well as complete leave requests, i would really like them to be able to use something more compatible to link in with Elmo.
> 
> I really enjoy working with the Elmo payroll and HR Core products, very user friendly, easy to learn and apply.

### "Overall a good experience so far" — 4.0/5

> **Troy** | *14 April 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Modular software so it is highly customisable.
> 
> **Cons**: Takes some time to get used to how to use the program. Can be difficult to get pricing indications.
> 
> Overall I have enjoyed using Elmo, there seems to be a big shift towards user engagement which has been very positive and they are open to feedback. Overall it fills most of our requirements

### "HR Officer" — 4.0/5

> **Azzaya** | *12 May 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have been using ELMO for the last 2 years. We started with HR core and extended it to recruitment, onboarding, and other modules. We keep extending through other HR functions, and we are now in discussion of having ELMO analytics, reward, and recognition. &#10;I also love to see improvements and changes through various modules.
> 
> **Cons**: We realised that some data not transferable from ELMO HR Core to ELMO Payroll
> 
> I find ELMO as great product and enjoy using the system. Our team attended the events like "Unlocking potential: Be Future Ready with ELMO" and loved their update and engagement with their customers.

### "If you can get it to work the way you need, it works great\!" — 3.0/5

> **Chris** | *6 April 2025* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Workflows are useful for automating onboarding. The ELMO team are quick to respond most of the time
> 
> **Cons**: The modules often don't mesh well with each other, there's no app and the system feels outdated and information is kept in several different places and can take some getting used to. however is being updated regularly
> 
> The system is tricky for people who aren't systems oriented. It would work well for corporate offices but without an app is tricky for organisations that do not have laptops or computer access for every team member. When the automation is able to be configured to your exact needs it works REALLY well.
