Gusto is good stuff. Happy customer am I. Please, keep your focus and stay good at what you do. Don't wander off into the 'new revenue channel' weeds and lose sight of what's made you great.
This. Gusto (unlike Zenefits) actually seems to care about the product and their customers - don't lose that!
Thirded. Struggled with payroll through three other (terrible) companies, have been DELIRIOUSLY happy with Gusto. Please oh please, don't ever change (or lose focus)
That's pretty high praise! Mind me asking what you like about Gusto vs other payroll offerings?
They do what they say on the tin. It's just that easy. If you're a small business owner, go get ignored by ADP for a couple of quarters (and pay them 2x Gusto's rates), send the late-filings notices to your increasingly-exasperated accountant, and bask in the warm indifference of a massive corporate behemoth who (thankfully, mistakenly) believes they're the only game in town. Then switch to Gusto, and try to describe to us how different it is, without glib hyperbole such as "...everything. And it's amazeballs!"
Gusto's payroll product has been exceptionally good, especially when compared to the other systems in the space. We always wished for something similar in HR/benefits, so this is great news.
Does Gusto plan to expand their business outside of the US? In Europe every country has its own actors in this market, mostly small companies with a few hundred customers. I wonder why there is still no company providing a solution working (almost) everywhere. Stripe but for HR.
Because HR regulations, taxes, benefits, etc. vary widely between countries. And they change all the time.
I have used Gusto since it was Zen Payroll (for myself and my clients) and love it. In looking at this product release, I am not sure how this is different than their current product offering. Isn't this already on their Core plan, which has been available for quite a while now. What am I missing here?
The 'welcome wall' is a nice feature, but I imagine it is only as good as its input, and could be quite detrimental if new employees just saw a blank page.
Happy Gusto customer for two years now, this looks promising.
What's the free part? 1 month trial free? I don't see any free offerings besides that. Click bait.
Took me a while to find it too, even though it's linked in the article. The product is called HR Basics and includes onboarding, employee directory/resource lists, and PTO management: https://gusto.com/free-hr
It's basically gusto minus payroll. Onboarding, I-9, directory, vacation management, etc.
Really love what Gusto is working on bringing high quality HR solutions to very early stage startups. It especially helps with reducing toil on the founders trying to figure out how to run a company for the first time, as well as bridging the expectations for employees that are used to more sophisticated HR systems in large companies.
There is a real need of these software in INdia also. Orange is so far doing great in this field but sure there is a room for many good Hr softwares
