“Dayforce Recruiting Provides Strong Core Functionality Without Bells and Whistles”

3.0
Nov 7, 2025
Dayforce's Recruiting Module is not a full Applicant Tracking System, but the fact that it is fully integrated with the rest of the Dayforce system makes it a beneficial tool for collecting and managing candidate data. In addition, transitioning that candidate record into an employee record with just a few simple steps makes the HR team very efficient.

Dayforce Likes & Dislikes

Like

I think Dayforce is one of the most flexible HCMs I have worked with as an administrator. We have much more ability to customize the system than others I've seen and this allows us to make the process meet our company's needs. Dayforce equips its users with the skillset needed to make these changes on our own; we don't need to have Dayforce configure this for us unless we want assistance.

Like

The seamless connection to the rest of the Dayforce tool is great - you don't need to have file feeds, API connections, or logins to other sites to get to the recruiting data, instead you just navigate to another option in your menu and you're right there.

Like

The recruiting and hiring process in Dayforce is very easy to navigate and self explanatory as long as you know what you're looking for. The FAQ information helps you find any answers you may need. The asterisk in the recruiting and hiring process helps ensure all employee information is not missed.

Dislike

Newer features and enhancements generally come at an increased monthly cost, which I understand - but it generally means I have to wait several years before I can get an additional budget amount to add the new features. The wait time allows me to see the benefit to other users who have adopted the new features, which helps me build my case for increased budget. I'm able to share direct user feedback with my management team to help give real-life examples of the benefit we would see from using the new feature.

Dislike

For those who are used to a full applicant tracking system, there are some capability gaps - especially as it comes to two-way communication with the candidate. Outbound communications are recorded, but the candidate response is not, other than the SMS text tool.

Dislike

The difficulties of the employee integration not connecting and processing onto our other programs and software. Employees are having issues with receiving their first time access email from Dayforce even when we have selected during the hiring process. Some integration for employees must be done manually because not all information transfers over or is processed completely.

    Dayforce Hiring Platform Easy to Use but Faces Integration and Publishing Challenges

    4.0
    Nov 5, 2025
    The recruiting and hiring process in Dayforce is very self explanatory and easy to navigate. It does make it difficult when you have a lot of requisitions posted that don’t publish onto our hiring website or other third parties like indeed, linked in, etc. We have experienced several issues where employee processing does not communicate to our other connected programs and software. A lot of things have to be done manually to ensure accuracy in hiring and onboarding employees.

    Dayforce Supports Employee Self-Service but Faces Occasional Slow Loading and Minor Bugs

    Dec 27, 2025
    Dayforce is one of the best HR software because it provides all the important HR decision making related to employees in one place including attendance, payroll and benefits which makes work easy. It is also very helpful for the employees as they can see their information related to their schedule, their leaves balance and salary from anywhere through mobile phones.
