## Reviews

### "Kin helps new employees acclimate to your business culture." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *6 April 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Kin is a consultant-based software company that helps build meaningful workplaces. We usually like to bring them in once a month to help us refocus on our mission and vision. It is a good time for new employees to connect with the work culture and purpose. They differentiate their services per situation and they have expertise in everything from motivation, self-care, onboarding, and social media integration.
> 
> **Cons**: I have really tried to come up with some negatives to working with Kin. They do a great job. They listen to our needs and want to help us get better. Their authentic approach makes us feel like family every time we meet.

### "One-stop employee resource tool" — 5.0/5

> **Nadia** | *18 November 2016* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One-stop place for everything\!
> 
> **Cons**: I wish the review area was easier to use.  It is clunky when setting up.  And sometimes employees don't know exactly where to put their responses. I wish when you setup the review, you could add fields for questions and response areas. Small Improvements has a great model that we used prior to switching over. The review area is ok, I just wish it was a bit more robust. Such as hiding what the employee says until they are ready for their employer to review it. Sometimes, people want to have time to reflect their thoughts before hitting send.
> 
> We are a small company with a dozen employees. KinHR not only allows us to track our personal time off efficiently, it keeps all of those necessary employee files in one location.  I can quickly upload files that everyone needs - such as 401(k) documents, federal and state posters, and employee guides, manuals, and procedures to each employee.  When someone has a question, I point to KinHR. &#10;&#10;Also, we use the review and task areas of the software.  No more pesky emails about tasks or paper files for reviews. Everything is there and you can go back and review easily what was assigned and what was discussed during review time. It is a great product that I would recommend to any small business owner\!

### "Kin is great for small business HR needs" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *19 November 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the on boarding ease for new hires at the small company I worked at
> 
> **Cons**: Some employees were used to larger platforms, just had to get used to how to use Kin

### "The right tool for our Small Business" — 5.0/5

> **Steve** | *17 August 2016* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great employee records; sane and easy to use time-off management; a method to keep notes on reviews and goals; a clean, friendly and simple design; excellent customer support with quick turn around times for questions.
> 
> **Cons**: Being in Canada, we wish there was a bit more tie-in to our countries rules and regulations around typical HR tasks.
> 
> Plank switched over the Kin in May 2014. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;The Kin team made the process painless and trouble-free. Kin seemed like the right type of solution for us.  We have on average 13 active users, and we use about 80% of the features offered. We were a bit worried with a SaaS solution, but the product has been rock solid with almost no issues and zero unscheduled downtime.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;After 2 years we're still extremely happy.

### "Great experience\!" — 5.0/5

> **Meagan** | *9 August 2016* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's easy to use, intuitive, and they're always coming out with new, better features.
> 
> **Cons**: Can't think of much, though I'm eager for them to integrate a more in-depth performance review process.
> 
> We moved to KIN HR to consolidate our onboarding system and manage our time off - it's been a great experience from the UI experience to the customer service.
