Introducing the industry’s first command-driven AI engine in a single database, for instant and accurate access to employee and applicant data
What is Iwant?
Your shortcut to smart work
With Paycom, you don’t have to navigate in our software to find the information you need. You simply have to ask. Available to all users on mobile and desktop, IWant is an AI engine that pulls from data employees entered in Paycom’s single database to provide instant, reliable and accurate answers. It even directs users to the right location to make updates as needed — all at your command.
KEY BENEFITS
Right answers, right away
Easy to use
Instead of clicking around for the info you need, users simply search via typing or voice (on mobile) to request data and get the answers they’re looking for without having to navigate through the software.
Rapid results
When you need applicant or employee data fast, you don’t have to search the app or chase HR to get it. You simply ask for the data you need, and IWant retrieves it immediately.
Accurate, reliable answers
Because IWant pulls from data employees entered in Paycom’s single database, the results are always comprehensive and real-time, every time. All at your command.
Reduced burden
You don’t have to be a Paycom superuser or bother HR and managers to get the data you need. IWant sets you free by streamlining access and empowering everyone with instant answers.
Simplify decisions
Managers don’t have time to hop between multiple menus and systems to complete routine reviews and necessary approvals, especially those affecting payroll. IWant makes it easy to review and approve punch changes and time-off requests in one place.
HOW IT WORKS
IWant in action
Whichever data you’re looking for, IWant searches applicant information, employee profiles and management dashboards to deliver accurate results in a flash. Whether you need to view time-off balances, shift schedules or other employee data, IWant puts it all at your fingertips.
And don’t worry. IWant’s smart, secure AI functionality knows who’s asking and won’t respond with information users don’t have access to.
HOW EVERYONE BENEFITS
The data everyone needs when they need it
IWant is easy for anyone to use, regardless of role, expertise level or software knowledge. This ensures everyone has access to the accurate data they need without delay.
C-suite
Limited access to employee data limits company leaders’ ability to make smarter decisions. With IWant, they can pull any data they want from employee profiles and management dashboards. No need to be a Paycom superuser. IWant’s Executive Mode centralizes and further simplifies their experience.
HR
Before Paycom, HR teams often had to bear the burden of being the go-to resource for data when employees didn’t know where to look or what to look for. IWant empowers all employees with accurate answers right away. This represents a savings of $11.75 compared to each manual search, according to 2025 EY research.
Managers
It can be a struggle for managers to juggle information for multiple employees and candidates. IWant makes it easy to retrieve an applicant’s resume and workforce data on individual employees, like timecards, time-off schedules, performance reviews and more in a snap. Approve payroll-impacting requests for time off and punch changes with one click.
Employees
Employees no longer need to wonder where to look for their personal data. They don’t even need to know exactly how to ask for it. IWant interprets their request, provides immediate results and even directs them to take further action as needed.
