“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 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

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.

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

On-line for Earning Statements, W-2's, Forms, and Mobile Application.

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.

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

Customer Support - This used to be great when we had PODs. Build a working relationship with my POD team members. Now, if you open up a case, it can take weeks before you receive a response. The worst part is they answer with copy and paste from the knowledge base. The time difference is also an issue. This is not acceptable. Time Away from Work - employees can't run their own reports and balances are confusing to employees as TAFW is real time for balances as they are submitted where their earnings statement balances are only recorded/reduced after each payroll processing.

    4.0
    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.
