Personio is an HCM (human capital management) solution, including recruiting software features. It is typically used to digitize HR management and recruitment processes along the employee lifecycle.

In its pricing model, Personio offers plans for core HR, alongside additional apps that include hiring software features, job posting bundles, and performance management features such as employee assessments.

Personio and flair are both cloud-based software solutions for human resources teams. Both flair and Personio offer the full range of core HR functionality, including recruiting, applicant tracking, onboarding, time tracking, document management, and payroll management. As SaaS (software as a service) solutions, flair and Personio can both be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection.

Both flair and Personio can function as HRIS (human resources information systems) for storing and managing employee data. They also each include an applicant tracking system (ATS), which is important for talent acquisition. While both solutions enable users to create self-service career pages, flair’s drag-and-drop career portal builder makes it easy to bring your corporate design onto your page to attract top talent.

One fundamental way that flair differs from Personio and Personio alternatives, like BambooHR, Factorial, and HiBob, is that flair is built natively on Salesforce. This means that, with flair, your data is protected by Salesforce’s robust security features. If your organization already uses Salesforce, you will also benefit from connecting your HR processes with your CRM and being able to use your existing data, processes, and workflows in Salesforce.

However, even if do not use Salesforce, you can still use flair and benefit from the power of Salesforce. We will set up a Salesforce instance for you so you can use our apps.

flair is also more customizable than Personio. You can adapt processes, such as workforce management and time-off policies, to your working style and local standards and regulations. This makes flair the better choice for companies operating in multiple countries.

Unlike flair, Personio does not have an integrated shift planning tool or a skills management feature. In addition, flair offers more employee engagement features, including the Cheers feature for employee recognition, and built-in collaboration features like commenting and video integration.

Moreover, flair offers a number of AI-powered features, such as candidate scoring, that can help your recruiters, HR teams, and managers operate more efficiently and accurately.

flair is an excellent choice for companies that want more flexibility than solutions like Personio but without the cost and complexity of human resource management software such as Workday HCM and SAP SuccessFactors.

As a certified Salesforce partner, flair provides enterprise-grade performance and security, and it can be integrated with hundreds of Salesforce and non-Salesforce tools. You benefit from the power of the world’s leading CRM platform on the back end, with a user-friendly, self-service experience on the front end.

Out of the box, our HR solution comes with ready-to-use templates, reports, and dashboards, but you can also easily create your own. All processes can be adjusted to meet local employment laws, regulations, and standards.

Our customer success team is on hand to quickly respond to your questions and inquiries. On review platforms such as G2, we score higher than Personio on quality of support.

flair also ranks higher than Personio in terms of usability, scoring higher in the ease of setup, ease of use, and ease of admin categories on G2.

Personio describes itself as HR software for “companies from 10 – 2,000 employees”. Its customers come from a wide variety of industries, including retail, software, and manufacturing. Many of Personio’s features are targeted at companies operating in Europe.

Similarly, flair is suitable for a wide range of companies, from small businesses to enterprises, typically between 200 and 5,000 employees. Our customers are based in many countries and include consultancies, healthcare companies, tech companies, NGOs, and more. Our Salesforce-native solution can be adapted to meet the requirements of organizations operating in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Australia.

flair is an effective HR solution for companies operating in multiple countries or who plan to do so. While you don’t have to be using Salesforce already to make the switch to flair, the solution is ideal for Salesforce users who want to shift their HR data to the CRM platform.

flair’s customer success team can help you migrate your HR data from Personio to flair for a smooth transition between the two solutions.

We start with an initial consultation to define which flair features and modules you need and how you are using your current HR solution. Then during onboarding, we help you to structure and import your data to Salesforce and flair.

Our team will configure flair according to your needs and provide training and documentation to get you off to a smooth start.
