NEOGOV review: public sector HR software for recruiting, onboarding, performance, and payroll. See features, pricing, pros/cons, and FAQs before you buy.
NEOGOV is a public sector-focused HR software platform used by government agencies, municipalities, public safety departments, and educational institutions to manage the full employee lifecycle. Rather than being a general-purpose HR tool adapted for government, NEOGOV is built around the specific compliance, procurement, and workflow needs of the public sector — including EEO reporting, veterans' preference rules, and public records retention requirements.
The platform is organized into a set of connected modules rather than a single monolithic app: Insight and Attract handle recruiting, applicant tracking, and candidate relationship management; GovernmentJobs.com operates as a dedicated public sector job board; Onboard automates new-hire paperwork and welcome checklists; Vetted supports background investigations for public safety hiring; Perform covers performance management and evaluations; Learn is the learning/training management system; eForms and Policy handle digital documents and policy lifecycle management; and an integrated HRIS layer covers core HR, payroll, benefits, and time and attendance.
NEOGOV positions itself as the leading HR software provider for the public sector, citing over 13,000 government, public safety, and education organizations as customers, and highlights FedRAMP, StateRAMP, and TxRAMP certifications aimed at government IT security requirements. Pricing is not published; agencies work directly with NEOGOV's sales team, consistent with typical public sector procurement processes.
