Worksuite

Vorteile

Worksuite is easy to use and figure out.

Nachteile

There are occasionally issues with requests and projects/ people not being able to see what is sent out or see attachments. Sometimes there are formatting issues that are impossible to fix.

Vorteile

The TeamBoard feature allows for easy communication between the requestor and HR/Legal Dept. The ability to chat within the platform/request eliminates additional emailing and confusion.

Nachteile

When drafting agreements, you are not able to save your work in the preview and go back to the original request to review. In addition, all workflows show in the stage view even if they do not pertain to that particular workflow. I wish this view was cleaner to avoid confusion on stages. Lastly, there are two TeamBoards, which result in missed messages.

Vorteile

Worksuite doesn't do the "one-size-fits-all" approach. Nearly every feature is developed in such an easy-to-use, yet highly customizable way that it's kind of mind blowing. At the moment, we utilize their platform for automating a large part of onboarding for each of our independent contractors (think gig economy), and then maintaining compliance. I can see us utilizing more features as our needs increase which is another thing that makes this platform a huge plus. Moving our processes to Worksuite was a strategic move that will make scaling a piece of cake.

Nachteile

It would be nice if we were able to have a kanban/ board type of view for managing workflows.

Vorteile

Firstly it's so simple to use. I also love the fact that unlike a lot of systems, it's so customisable which will be important to a lot of companies.

Nachteile

Still in implementation so nothing so far

Vorteile

The software is incredibly intuitive and requires very little training. The layout is user friendly and is structured to get search results as fast as possible. Very editable on-boarding templates to suit different suppliers and freelancers.

Nachteile

Like all platforms there are pieces that need changing to suit our business, Shortlist have worked very hard to make developmental changes for us and continue to do so.

Vorteile

I use Shortlist.co to screen, contract and source out my freelancers in my promotional marketing agency. The app is extremely versatile and easy to use. The set-up was tailored (somewhat) for my marketing company. I am very happy with the software and when there is a concern or issue, customer service was very quick (via chat and email) to respond.

Nachteile

They do not have a mobile yet. I am being told it is coming soon in 2018. It's difficult as most of my users are on mobile and I am ecstatic for the launch of the mobile app.

Vorteile

Ability to organize contingent workers and see clear process stages, ask questions, share feedback, and get clarity to realize solutions around contracts and then sign those in a central place is an amazing tool to have in place.

Nachteile

No option to extend contract without having to submit an entirely new request. A click to extend that allows you to keep the same terms and forward to legal for an addendum without waiting would be great.

Vorteile

Central place for our Freelancers to update and upload latest information to help manage IR35commitments , contact database and availability

Nachteile

we only use a small part of its functionality

Vorteile

From an internal perspective, Shortlist greatly reduced our admin time spent on freelancer management and allowed us to centralize many management duties. The platform helped us to streamline freelancer onboarding, information tracking, project assignments, performance tracking, and more. Before Shortlist, we were using several different tools to accomplish what is now done in one single platform!

The project assignment functionality was the biggest attraction for us. It's the most robust I've seen, offering several assignment workflows. Our company works on a bidding system -- freelancers essentially opt into potential projects by bidding for work -- and Shortlist seamlessly supports and has enhanced our system.

In addition, the platform is very user friendly for both administrators and freelancers. Although the platform offers a robust selection of tools to assist in freelancer and vendor management, the interface is clean, simple, and easy to navigate. The user friendly workflow greatly reduces the potential for confusion or questions, which is vital when working with a large external workforce.

Lastly, the Shortlist team is clearly committed to the success of their customers. The team has been extremely communicative, receptive to feedback, and quick to offer helpful insights or suggestions on how to maximize use of the platform.

Nachteile

There's nothing I explicitly dislike about the platform. However, I'd love to see more customization options, especially in regards to freelancer profiles and the internal performance tracking system.

Vorteile

The onboarding feature was the most impactful. At our company, we used Shortlist for vendor onboarding and the team helped us developed our first proof of concept. The feature helped streamline our onboarding process for new vendors in a very user-friendly way. This feature received great feedback from various teams in the organization.

Nachteile

Shortlist had many great features that we requested for. If I have to name a con, I wish there's more flexibility in customization.

Vorteile

the best thing was contractors always knew how much they'd get paid at any give time for any given project.

Nachteile

It was expensive. $3/contractor - even if you were only paying $30.00 - Also, there were huge delays between submitting payroll and contractors receiving their money.

Vorteile

Intuitive, easy to use, respectful of the actual needs held by those buying the tool. It actually solves the problem I had, and it allows me to go places I wasn't sure I could when solving the vendor management problems with which I was struggling.

Vorteile

I like the functionality of the software. It's met all of our needs.

Nachteile

The one con about the software is that once everyone is onboarded their information stays on the all stages page. It would be great if that page would be blank once an individual or group has completed all of the onboarding stages.

Vorteile

I love how, as a freelancer, I can write messages to my employer and provide them with files that I upload. Plus, the Shortlist system sends notifications everytime I make an update. This means I don't have to remind my employer that I'm done with a project.

Nachteile

We couldn't get the payments to work. As a result, we only used Shortlist as a project management system and not a full-service payment system.

Vorteile

- Easy project setup. Get a project ready to be shared with vendors in no time.
- Possibility of setting up deadlines for proposals and final submissions.
- Templates included on the App makes it easy to find the type of project you will use it for.

Nachteile

- No Mobile access.
- Sometimes difficult to find the thread to reply to your vendor's message.
- Would be useful to have a shared folder kind of feature, to include project attachments.

Vorteile

Automated on-boarding and performance management tools. Invoicing.

Nachteile

Have not found any at this time.

Vorteile

Implementation was very easy. Kevin helped up get everything off the ground, and was available afterwards to assist with any questions that came up

Nachteile

I think it does a lot, which is not a bad thing, but we really only need it to do one thing: manage our database of contractors. I wish there were tiers where we could opt out of certain features that we don't use and possibly pay less since we don't use those.

Vorteile

-Very nice and easy to use interface
-Access to a large database of talents worldwide

Nachteile

-No Mobile version yet

Vorteile

Shortlist provides an user friendly environment and they can always customize per our request. Information on the platform are straightforward and our payee are invited to the platform timely. Payment are processed timely and accurately. Service team are always responsive and willing to solve any problem.

Nachteile

If we could download customize report from the platform that if would be perfect!
