I had a few queries which were responded and resolved promptly. The system is fairly straight forward for non-techs like me. Looking forward to working with the team at Bright HR going forward. ----- ### "A Positive Onboarding Experience with BrightHR" — 5.0/5 > **Vicki** | *11 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system is intuitive and straightforward to navigate. Key HR processes are centralised in one place, improving visibility and consistency. The document management and employee record functions are particularly useful. The dashboard provides a clear overview, making day-to-day management more efficient. It feels like a practical solution for streamlining HR administration and supporting compliance. > > **Cons**: As new users, there is a learning curve due to the breadth of functionality available. Some features may take time to fully explore and embed into our processes. > > Our initial experience of BrightHR has been very positive. The platform appears well designed, practical and capable of bringing greater structure and efficiency to our HR processes. Leigh delivered a clear and well-paced onboarding session, which helped us understand the system’s core functionality and how it can best support our organisation. Her guidance gave us confidence in navigating the platform and making the most of its features. We’ve come away feeling confident in navigating the platform and clear on next steps. A great start to working together. ----- ### "Excellent helpful company" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *8 July 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very helpful and good onboarding. Quick to answer help requests and super speedy with legal advice and indemnity. The range of tools are very helpful, particularly the clocking-in app, Blip, and the expenses app, PoP. > > **Cons**: There's nothing that springs to mind with regards to cons with BrightHR. If anything (being super picky), it would be useful to be able to log a car expenses journey by clocking in and out of a geo-location which PoP doesn't currently offer. > > Very good, very customer focussed and solution driven company. Has a range of tools that make HR and Payroll that little bit easier\! ----- ### "Responsive and reliable service - especially from \[sensitive content hidden\]" — 5.0/5 > **Jackie** | *17 April 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: \[sensitive content hidden\] is very responsive and very helpful. There have been several times I have contacted her for support, and she always follows up and gives reliable advice. > > **Cons**: Other HR support has been less reliable, but this has now been fixed with access to advice and more responsiveness from other advisers too. > > Positive - if things have been less positive, then contacting my account manager or other members of the team have resulted in these being rectified. ----- ### "Bright HR Review by Auriga Holdings" — 5.0/5 > **Martyn** | *10 February 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nice and easy to use. The side menu and submenus are easy to navigate. The Glu E-learning will be a game-changer in our business. > > **Cons**: There isn't anything at this stage I don't like. We have only just started using the system, so we can't comment at this stage. > > So far, as a new customer, the process has been very good. We were given access and then had a session with \[sensitive content hidden\] to understand the system, ask questions and deep dive into its features. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/151525/brighthr?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/151525/brighthr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
