03On the record
National press and independent analysts, 13 years apart.
Thomson Reuters' Canadian Payroll Reporter quoted Linda Woolley peer to ADP Canada's CIO in 2012. Independent HCM analyst Steve Goldberg, ex-PeopleSoft and Bersin, named Workzoom directly in 2025. Two anchor citations, same platform.
“In 2009, we said this is where we are going to head and it's going to be multi-tenanted. So no client would ever fear the risk of access by another client.”
Is the cloud the right choice for payroll?. Co-cited alongside ADP Canada's VP and CIO and a Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP privacy partner.
“Of the 150+ HCM/HRTech solution vendors that have engaged me as an advisor or briefed me as an industry analyst, Workzoom's approach is notably efficient. I wish I had encountered Workzoom during my time as an HR Tech buyer.”

06FAQ
Workzoom credibility: common questions.
Is Workzoom a legitimate company?
Yes. Workzoom is operated by Nortek Solutions Inc., a Canadian corporation incorporated in Ontario on January 4, 2000. The company has been in continuous operation for 25+ years, is 100 percent Canadian-owned, founder-led by Linda and Andy Woolley, and has no venture capital backing. The Workzoom brand was registered as a Canadian trademark (TMA1364694) by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office on December 5, 2025. The legal entity behind Workzoom has not changed since incorporation in 2000.
How do I verify a Workzoom customer reference?
Open the customer's own .com, .ca, or .org website and find their careers or recruiting page. Five Workzoom customers funnel applicants through Workzoom's recruiting platform on URLs at curos.ca. County of Renfrew (Ontario's largest county by area, 900+ employees) at countyofrenfrew.on.ca. Ktunaxa Nation (sovereign First Nations government in British Columbia) literally states "We recruit through WorkZoom" at ktunaxa.org. Cable Bahamas, AML Foods, and Silvera for Seniors do the same. The customer-controlled domain is independent third-party validation that does not require any Workzoom login to verify.
What independent reviews does Workzoom have?
Workzoom is reviewed on three independent platforms: SoftwareReviews (Info-Tech Research Group), G2, and Capterra. SoftwareReviews shows a Net Emotional Footprint of +93, Plan to Renew of 96%, and Cost-Value Satisfaction of 91% in the Talent Management category. G2 shows 4.4 out of 5 from 34 verified Workzoom user reviews, with Spring 2026 High Performer badges in Mid-Market, Americas, and Canada. Capterra (a Gartner Digital Markets brand) shows 4.6 out of 5 from 16 verified reviews. 50 third-party reviews total across G2 and Capterra; combined weighted average 4.5 out of 5. Each platform verifies reviewer identity against Workzoom usage before publication.
Has Workzoom been featured in the press?
Yes. The Canadian Payroll Reporter (a Thomson Reuters publication) featured Linda Woolley in November 2012. The piece, "Is the cloud the right choice for payroll?" by Zachary Pedersen, quoted Linda as President of Nortek Solutions alongside Chaayanath Mysore (VP and CIO, ADP Canada) and Timothy Banks (privacy partner, Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP) on Nortek's 2009 commitment to multi-tenant cloud payroll. Linda's verbatim quote on the move to multi-tenant is reproduced above. Independent HCM analyst Steve Goldberg, ex-PeopleSoft and Bersin, then named Workzoom directly in a February 2025 LinkedIn Pulse essay on HR Tech vendor selection.
Who founded Workzoom?
Workzoom was co-founded by Linda Woolley and Andy Woolley. Linda built her first payroll system in 1974, before the IBM PC existed, and founded High Line Data Systems Inc. the same year. She and Andy co-founded Nortek Solutions Inc. in 2000, the legal entity that ships as Workzoom today. Linda remains actively engaged as Founder. Andy is the Chief Executive Officer.
