In its favor
Why people choose PeopleForce
The signal that keeps PeopleForce on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
All-in-one consolidation of core HR functions — employees, leave, performance, recruitment, and documents in a single platform appeals to teams replacing fragmented point solutions.
Highly configurable workflows where triggers can be tied to any employee profile attribute, a capability several reviewers cited as more flexible than competitors like BambooHR.
Intuitive, user-friendly interface with a clear structure that received 44 mentions across G2 reviews for ease of use and quick onboarding.
Responsive customer support with dedicated implementation specialists earned 40 mentions on G2, with reviewers citing named contacts for onboarding guidance.
Competitive pricing at $125/month for Standard (up to 50 employees) and ~$3/employee/month for Professional, positioning it below Workday for SMB budgets.
Limited reporting and analytics features with insufficient data visualization options frustrate HR teams that need deeper workforce insights, cited in 7 separate reviews.
No native payroll calculation module forces teams to maintain a separate payroll system and accept integration complexity or manual re-entry.
Data export requires administrator rights — standard users cannot export employee data to Excel without elevated access, blocking self-service reporting.
Rigid feature design and visual UI bugs, particularly on input fields, create friction for HR teams with non-standard processes, especially for companies migrating from BambooHR.
Minimal mobile app functionality forces employees and managers to rely on desktop for most HR tasks, reducing adoption in field or remote-heavy teams.

What gets migrated
PeopleForce object support
Object-by-object support for PeopleForce migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Employees
Fully supportedThe central PeopleForce object. We migrate all standard fields (name, contact info, employment dates, department, manager assignment) and preserve the full employment history timeline. Active and inactive statuses are mapped directly to the destination equivalent.
Employee Profiles
Fully supportedPeopleForce stores profile photos, bio data, emergency contacts, and skills as structured sub-objects linked to each Employee. We flatten these into the destination profile structure, preserving attachments and custom profile fields.
Positions
Mapping requiredPositions capture job title, department, employment type, and effective dates for each employee. Where the destination HRMS uses a different job-title schema, we apply a mapping table to align titles across systems during migration.
Leave Policies and Requests
Mapping requiredPeopleForce supports multiple leave types with configurable accrual rules and approval workflows. Leave balances and request history are migrated as transactional records; policy definitions require reconfiguration in the destination system based on its own leave engine.
Performance Reviews
Mapping requiredReview cycles, review forms, and submitted feedback are stored as linked objects. We migrate completed review records and scores, but the review form builder configurations (questions, scales, weightings) are platform-specific and typically require re-implementation.
Recruitment / Vacancies
Mapping requiredPeopleForce PeopleRecruit handles job postings, applications, and candidate pipelines. Open positions and application history are migrated; multiposting configurations and job board connections do not transfer across platforms.
Workflows
Mapping requiredCustom triggers and automated sequences are built on PeopleForce's workflow engine using employee profile attributes and key dates. Workflow logic is documented and described during scoping, but automation rules must be rebuilt in the destination HRMS.
Documents
Mapping requiredEmployee documents (contracts, ID copies, certifications) are stored per employee record. We migrate document metadata and content where accessible via API, noting that file attachments may require re-upload in the destination system.
Kudos / Recognition
Mapping requiredThe recognition module stores Kudos given between employees with timestamps and optional messages. These are migrated as historical records in a supplemental table, as most destination HRMS platforms do not have a native equivalent object.
Onboarding and Offboarding Checklists
Mapping requiredPeopleForce generates automated checklists tied to onboarding and offboarding events. Task completion status and history are migrated; the checklist templates themselves are platform-specific and require reconfiguration.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredPeopleForce supports custom fields on the Employee object. We inventory all active custom fields during discovery, map their data types to destination equivalents, and migrate custom field values as structured properties on each record.
Audit Trail
Not in this platformThe audit trail is a platform-generated, read-only log of user actions and system events. It is not portable data — it belongs to the PeopleForce tenant and cannot be exported or migrated. We document the audit trail schema for compliance reporting purposes but do not transfer records.
