What Our Users Say
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what real clients have to say about their Inova experience.
“An organization that provides real human customer service in today’s automated environment.” – Small Business Verified User in Import and Export
“I can’t say enough about how much easier my job has become since we started using all the Inova modules. From the ATS to onboarding to performance reviews—the automation has truly taken so much work off my plate. It’s amazing what a fully integrated HRIS system can do for us! The icing on the cake is having a dedicated contact who’s always there to help—whether it’s troubleshooting an issue or simply reminding me how to handle something I only do once a year. That level of support makes such a difference.” – Mid-Market Verified User in Financial Services
“Inova Payroll is well throughout program, built around queries. Initially we were looking for a better payroll company, having left one of the top 3 worldwide, where we had horrible client support and paid 3 times what we get with INOVA. The Sales to Implementation team functions as a unit, if there is a question/concern immediately taken care of and communication is outstanding.” – Sandra D., Mid-Market Human Resources Manager in Landscaping
