What users say about Basqo
Based on 33 reviews
Cartha is appreciated for streamlining personnel cost planning and offering a clear overview of headcount. The platform facilitates collaboration between HR and finance by providing a single source of truth, replacing error-prone spreadsheets. Users value its integration with HRIS, which enables real-time forecasting and data-driven decisions. Some users mention occasional performance issues and a need for more intuitive navigation. However, the responsive customer support and continuous feature updates are generally well-received.

What did you like?
The tool includes all relevant data and makes it accessible to the relevant stakeholders: approved budget, planned positions, actuals and delta. The log of all changes is amazing and ensures transparent planning, solving a big problem we had.
What did you not like?
The tool is currently a little slow and the charts on the landing page a bit confusing if you have different budgets for different entities. Besides that I really like it.
Which problems are you solving with the product?
We had difficulties providing accurate numbers to our Finance Team as there is a lot of movement in our company. Also, we lacked transparency why changes were made and so on. Now we have much more clarity where we stand with our budget, what changed in the planned position and the reasons behind it - all that with only a few clicks.

What did you like?
The tool is easy to use, intuitive, and thoughtfully designed. Its functionalities make it straightforward to adapt to dynamic, fast-changing organizations like Parloa. The team behind the tool is extremely supportive, they process feedback and feature requests quickly and are always accessible, which creates a great overall experience where the toll constantly improves and evolves and performs better day to day.
What did you not like?
The tool currently could be improved in a few areas:
- Filtering sometimes gets stuck with longer usage time that may require a full refresh of the page. - When changing dimensions, filters get lost which requires you to repeat the entire filter. - processing of input can sometimes require a refresh as it is not visible immediately. - overall performance has been constantly improving, however, sometimes could still be slow
From a usability perspective:
- Planning versions could have a summary view like the live forecast that would make it easier to group and visualize for leaders owning several teams in different entities
Which problems are you solving with the product?
The tool makes it easy to adapt planning to changing team structures thanks to its hierarchy-based planning capabilities. This gives Finance the flexibility to work independently from HR when setting up access rights, while still maintaining a clear, consistent structure.
It also supports a streamlined and structured hiring process, where planning and approvals happen directly within the tool. The Talent Acquisition team can prioritize and assign roles efficiently, and the entire hiring workflow can be managed in one place, from financial planning and controlling to managing the hiring pipeline.
Overall, the tool enables all stakeholders and hiring managers to have a real-time, accurate view of their teams, improving transparency and coordination across the organization.

What did you like?
Cartha ist aus Recruitingsicht ein super praktisches Tool, um jederzeit den Überblick über alle offenen Stellen und die damit verbundenen Kosten zu behalten. Besonders hilfreich sind die neuen Features wie Hiring Priority, Status und die direkte Zuweisung von Jobs zu verantwortlichen Recruiter:innen – das bringt Struktur und Fokus in den Prozess. Insgesamt überzeugt Cartha durch eine moderne, intuitive Bedienung und eine klar durchdachte UX.
What did you not like?
Etwas störend ist, dass man sich relativ häufig neu anmelden muss – gerade wenn man zwischendurch das Tool kurz verlässt. Das unterbricht teilweise den Arbeitsfluss, ist aber nichts Tragisches. Wenn es mal technische Probleme gibt, reagiert das Cartha-Team sehr schnell und lösungsorientiert
Which problems are you solving with the product?
Mit Cartha lässt sich unser gesamter Recruitingprozess deutlich strukturierter und transparenter abbilden – von der Budgetübersicht bis zur Priorisierung offener Stellen. Ein großer Vorteil ist, dass sich unterschiedliche Nutzerrollen anlegen lassen. So sieht jeder nur die für ihn oder sie relevanten Infos und kann gezielt mitarbeiten. Das vereinfacht die Zusammenarbeit enorm, beschleunigt Abstimmungen und sorgt für klare Verantwortlichkeiten.

What did you like?
How it allows to simplify an objectively burdensome topic. The CFO and the Talent acquisition manager were using two separate Excel sheets prior to Cartha and it was neither reliable nor effective. Cartha makes it straightforward and exhaustive to see the current and projected impact of headcount and segregate the costs in a way that turns a lot of data into useful KPIs
What did you not like?
I simply hope that Cartha grows to offer secondary functionalities that other platforms offer so that we can rely for more on it and avoid having to use it together with another solution in order to fully solve the people's part of the company
Which problems are you solving with the product?
Management of current employees cost per team (monitoring) and planning for hiring. Before using Cartha, as I described before, there were silos. The Talent acquisiotn maager and the CFO were using separate excel sheets to square the budgeted figure for hiring and the hiring plan for the year per team and position. It was messy, unreliable and time consuming. With Cartha, we have a phenomenal display of all this information, automatic calculations to plan and estimate for changes and the ability to involve all the managerial team of the company in the hiring of their team members with assurance that they follow corporate policy.

What did you like?
Basqo bringt alle relevanten Stakeholder im Headcountplanning Prozess zusammen (Hiring Manager, Talent Acquisition und Finance), sorgt für Transparenz und erhöht die Effizienz in der Planung enorm. Änderungen (Level, Starttag, etc) werden dokumentiert, alle Integrationen (HRIS & ATS) waren, dank der Unterstützung der Founder, problemlos möglich.
What did you not like?
Kein relevanter Punkt kommt mir in den Sinn, eventuelle Unzulänglichkeiten wurden vom Team zeitnah korrigiert, bzw. durch neue Features abgedeckt. Es braucht eine Weile sich in die Prozesse (bzw. Möglichkeiten der Planung) einzuarbeiten, aber ist es erst einmal aufgesetzt, funktioniert es tadellos.
Which problems are you solving with the product?
Transparenz während der Planung, ebenso im laufenden Jahr. Die Möglichkeiten die Zugriffsrechte individuell aufzusetzen, erlaubt allen Stakeholdern nahtlos am Prozess zu arbeiten.

What did you not like?

Which problems are you solving with the product?
Basqo solves the challenge of a personnel plan that is out-of-date by the time it‘s finished, does not match actuals and does not align with actual hiring. It also enables not only budgeting, but also actuals updates and mid-year forecasting

I like how Basqo makes personal planning simple and structured, while also giving me clear visibility into my costs. It helps me align my plans with my budget without overwhelming me with unnecessary complexity.
What did you not like?
At times, the site can be a little slow to load, and occasionally I need to refresh the page to get things moving again.

Basqo helps me solve the challenge of organizing personal plans alongside their costs, so I can clearly see how my choices impact my budget. It has made planning much more straightforward by giving me a structured way to prioritize and track expenses.

Mit Cartha bekommen wir Personaldaten endlich mal sauber und ständig aktualisiert zusammen. Die zu Grunde liegende Datenhygiene muss natürlich stimmen, aber dann ist es einfach super easy möglich auf Company- und Teamebene saubere Personal-Forecast zu erheben und zu kontrollieren. Für den Budget-Prozess kann ebenfalls die Planung per Cartha delegiert und später wieder zusammengeführt werden. Das war vorher jedes Jahr ein großer Pain. Entwicklungen sind derzeit noch rasant - und ich freue mich auf alles was noch kommt!
What did you not like?
Gelegentlich kommt es zu Performance-Problemen, was wenig verwunderlich ist, wenn man ein relativ neues Produkt baut und sich gleichzeitig einem ständig wachsenden Kundenstamm gegenüber sieht, der nicht nur in Anzahl, sondern auch in Unternehmensgröße zu wachsen scheint.
Which problems are you solving with the product?
Es gibt nicht den einen Weg für Personalbudgetplanung und unterjähriges Forecasting & Controlling, weil das People-, Finance und alle planenden Teams ihre eigenen Süppchen kochen. Mit Cartha gibt es jetzt diesen Weg.
