What Independent Analysts Found When They Studied Paycor Customers
Nucleus Research, an independent analyst firm, studied Paycor customers in healthcare, hospitality, and entertainment. Paycor did not commission or sponsor this report. Take a look at what they discovered.
Vendor Claims Only Go So Far
When you’re evaluating HCM providers, every vendor says they’ll save you time and cut costs. Third-party validation tells a different story, because it comes from people with nothing to gain.
Nucleus Research interviewed Paycor customers managing frontline-heavy workforces in long-term care, hospitality, and sports and entertainment. The result is an independent look at what happens when these organizations move off fragmented point solutions and onto a single HCM platform.
What Nucleus Found
Stat callouts (3-column or stacked block, matching one-pager treatment):
83% Reduction in payroll processing time
75%+ Reduction in onboarding time
3-4 Separate systems consolidated into one
Nucleus also found that HR administrators save more than 70% of the time they previously spent troubleshooting payroll data, and that organizations using Paycor’s recruiting and onboarding automation reduce time-to-hire by upwards of 25%.
Inside the Report
The report includes firsthand accounts from HR leaders who made the switch, including:
- A healthcare operator managing nearly 30 skilled nursing and assisted living locations, who replaced a 20-to-25-page paper new hire process with a single integrated platform
- A theme park management company that scales from 1,000 to 5,000 employees seasonally, and restructured its HCM costs around eligible employees instead of total headcount
- A sports and entertainment organization managing stadium operations, professional sports, and motorsports across more than 1,500 employees
Each leader speaks to what changed after consolidating payroll, benefits, time, and talent acquisition into one system, and what their account team relationship looked like along the way.
