Best Rated HR Tools for Automation

I want to start a discussion around HR software that excels in automation, especially for growing teams looking to streamline tasks like onboarding, payroll, and compliance without increasing manual effort.

Below are some of the top-rated platforms from G2’s Core HR software category:

1. Rippling: This tool offers deep automation across HR, IT, and finance processes. From triggering onboarding workflows to managing device provisioning, It is designed to save time at scale.
2. BambooHR: Known for people-first features with automation baked into hiring, PTO tracking, and performance management. A good pick for teams aiming to reduce repetitive admin work.
3. Gusto: Automates payroll, benefits, and compliance tasks with a beginner-friendly interface. Great for small businesses or startups that want “set it and forget it” HR functions.
4. HiBob HRIS: Flexible and modular, HiBob automates things like surveys, onboarding flows, and time-off policies. It is especially useful for distributed teams that need structured yet adaptable systems.
5. RUN Powered by ADP: A solid payroll solution with built-in automation for tax filing and compliance tracking. Works well for companies that prioritize reliability in high-volume HR tasks.

If you’ve used any of these tools to automate your HR workflows, I’d love to hear which one made the biggest impact and which features saved you the most time.
