    Chose Sage HRMS
    Sage HRMS is pretty good, but iCIMS was more of a complete and concrete ATS package. Sage HRMS's customer service was excellent, but iCIMS was robust and user-friendly. I would rate them both close, but iCIMS would be a better applicant tracking system from an HR standpoint.

    • We changed our chart of accounts. The system does not allow you to change the numbering format, so we had to start over with new databases.
    • The tax return portion of the software does not file local taxes. We would definitely like to see this functionality in the future.
    • The payroll piece does not handle complicated move up and move downs for union pay. This could definitely be improved upon.

    I do not work with this software anymore, and I am not involved with the renewal of it. However, if I were, I would still suggest using it unless something better was introduced

    Sage HRMS was very cost effective for a non-profit. It does all that we needed as a company and more. It also allows us to handle payroll ourselves instead of outsourcing [it].
