HRLocker Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about HRLocker is how it simplifies and centralises key HR processes in a very practical way. The digital signing functionality is particularly valuable, as it allows us to confidently ensure that all employees have received, read and acknowledged important documents such as the employee handbook, without any manual follow-up.

The integration with HireHive is also excellent. It makes managing recruitment far more efficient, especially when dealing with a high volume of applicants. It is easy to collaborate with colleagues, move candidates through each stage of the process, and once a hire is made, transitioning them into HRLocker for onboarding is seamless. Overall, it saves significant administrative time and improves visibility across the entire recruitment and HR lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area where HRLocker could be improved is in the flexibility of its annual leave management. More advanced options, such as automated long service leave increments, easier bulk upload of carryover balances, and clearer handling of days in lieu, would make it more suitable for organisations with more complex policies.

The Reviews module is another area that could be enhanced. At present, the structure and workflow do not fully align with how we manage performance and development internally, so we have not been able to adopt it. Greater flexibility in configuring review cycles, formats, and approval flows would make this feature more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very clear and easy to operate, and creating a new employee profile is extremely simple.

It's very reliable, always work, it doesn't log you out, no errors.

People can check themselves when someone else is on annual leave, they can book their own holidays.

I think it should be bit cheaper and that you should be able to pick 1 or 2 employess instead of paying for 3 as we are a small company.

We connected payroll to it and it works perfectly fine.

Customer support is great, they reply fairly quickly.

We didnt use AI help yet so I cant say anything about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s frustrating that you can’t add a second management-level user who receives the same emails as the main user—for example, notifications when training expires or when other important changes occur. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HR Locker is brilliant: it’s affordable, easy to navigate, and has really streamlined our HR processes, particularly when it comes to leave management and maintaining employee records. The reporting functions are excellent.

Overall, it’s very user-friendly for both admins and employees. The setup was straightforward, and the customer support team has been responsive and genuinely helpful whenever we’ve needed them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s very little to dislike about HR Locker. Every now and then, I’d appreciate a few more customisation options in certain areas, but overall it’s a smooth, reliable platform that works really well and meets our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate HRLocker for being a user-friendly system, especially for leave management. Before, we had to manage leave over emails, which made it difficult to track and maintain balances. Now, HRLocker simplifies this by having all the necessary data in one location, making it easier for managers to make decisions around leave. The notifications are very useful, particularly for compliance reasons, as they keep reminding us when an HR document needs a signature, adding accountability. It also provides updates to employees about the stages of their applications. The initial setup was quite easy, thanks to the help of the onboarding team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system could be a lot more intuitive. It's quite annoying how the FTE field doesn't prompt the other fields, making it very manual. For example, if somebody is reducing hours, I have to update several screens like comp and balance, working hours, and more. Also, as our company has grown, the system has become a little more limited in what it could do for us. Similiarly change in managers requires a lot of manual updates. There should be a bulk Our payroll team would prefer better integration because they have to pull multiple reports to find the same data for payroll processing.

Everything is in one place, it's easy for staff to find all the information they need from answers to policy questions to booking their desk in the office it's a one stop shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Booking Time Off can be a bit clunky especially from an approval side. Would be great if you could approve, deny and edit straight from the calendar view. Also would be great if you could edit booking requests rather than deleting and reapplying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the new ATS Hire hive as this allows us to advertise roles without location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes find it confusing about adding in some elements to employees profiles eg days worked - set days for different people.

I also can find it a little annoying if I forget to submit changes and move to another section I have to redo. I would like there to be a reminder to save changes before moving to a new section Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how HRLocker is very user-friendly and allows me to add basically all the info I need. It's great for keeping track of annual leave requests, approvals, dates taken, and days left, giving both HR and employees control and autonomy over their leave. The customer service is also very good, and they usually respond quickly to any questions. I enjoy the webinars they organize with relevant topics for HR and attend most of those. I find Hire Hive part quite beneficial as it posts jobs on multiple platforms and keeps all applications in one portal, making it a very user-friendly tool for recruitment.

Would love to have an area where we could store documentation regarding an employee but that would only be visible to HR, such as file notes, disciplinaries etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use and implementation with HRLocker, especially when adding new people and making changes. The customer service and response time are fantastic. It has made things easier and quicker, transitioning from Excel spreadsheets to a more streamlined process and keeping everything in one place, which helps managers and team members easily check who's on or off and when. The initial setup of HRLocker was very easy and very quick. Even though I had used it before, its quick implementation was impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the only one I can think of is the ability to update the annual leave entitlements in advance. Our staff get annual leave increments based on length of service. So when somebody starts, if I could update that or put that in as soon as they start, it would save me having to have an annual review each year of doing those updates and changes.

I like the visibility for all staff in HRLocker. It's great that they can log in and see their leave, as well as who is in and out of the office. I also appreciate that they have their own directory, can upload bank details and emergency contact information, and see past reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the timesheets. It's like you have to update them all the time, so we don't use it. I sometimes find the review tool hard. I think some areas have a lot of steps to do simple things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that HRLocker is well organized and intuitive, making it easier to track the employee lifecycle without making the job time-consuming. Visually, it's very good, and I appreciate how the layout of the site is organized. The customer experience with HRLocker is well designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the reports, it could have more self-made charts for leaves with more information. To select a report sometimes is disappointing as the dates reset themselves after any click. Once I added a date for the report to be pulled, I would like those dates to stay and don't reset because I always check other employees for the same period. It increases the time I spend by pulling separate reports for different teams or employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
