Case Study: Saving Millions with a Paycor Optimization

Imagine a company, vibrant and growing, yet struggling with their HR system, Paycor. While Pacyor was meant to simplify their processes, it had become a source of frustration. Reporting was a challenge, workflows were clunky, and the team felt like they were missing something.

"We need a new system," the leadership team declared. Before facing a costly migration, they decided to bring in an HRIS consulting firm to assess their HRIS systems.

That’s when our team, iAM HCM Consulting, arrived on the scene! As an experienced HRIS consulting partner, we weren't there to sell a new platform; we were there to listen and uncover the truth.

Our consultant, a Paycor expert, dove deep into their system, finding it wasn't broken, but underutilized — a perfect example of why strong HR technology consulting matters.

"Connecting with iAM helped me realize that Paycor offered more features than we were using; we just needed to adjust how we were utilizing the platform," the client shared. This realization was key.

We focused on empowering the client's team. We guided them through Paycor’s capabilities, highlighting hidden gems like the analytics feature and integrating their ATS — classic HR system optimization work.

We also refined their HR workflows, aligning them with Paycor's strengths. Imagine unclogging a drain, allowing the water to flow freely. By optimizing their processes and educating them on all their underutilized system features, we eliminated manual tasks and boosted efficiency — the type of improvement an experienced HRIS consultant delivers through smart process redesign.

The transformation was remarkable. The company, prepared to spend millions on a new system, invested a fraction of that amount in our expertise. They avoided a major financial burden, freeing up resources for growth by choosing optimization over replacement.

"I’ve since connected with our new account rep and activated several features—some of which we should have already had access to—which has been very valuable,” the client added. “This includes Analytics, which is a game changer and an integration with our ATS. Working with iAM saved us the hassle and cost of switching platforms.”

The team, once frustrated, now navigates Paycor with confidence. They’ve unlocked the hidden potential of their existing system, a testament to expert guidance, a thoughtful HRIS assessment, and a new perspective. They rediscovered Paycor's value, proving that sometimes, the best solution is already in hand. What a win!
