Hi,
I work for Complygate, a company based in Birmingham, UK, that offers HR Software and Background Screening solutions to Small and Medium Enterprises here in the UK.
I'm not here to advertise, but to offer as much insight and help as I can regarding the Online Human Resource Management solutions industry.
First things first, what exactly is a HR Software, or HR System?
It can also be called HRMS (Human Resource Management System/Software). A HRMS is an online platform that supports employers and HR personnel with all HR-related tasks and processes. Going from talent acquisition to retirement, and touching everything in between:
- Pre-employment screening,
- Onboarding,
- Employee management,
- Time shift and schedule management,
- Assets and Expense management,
- Redundancies
- Leave and holiday management
A HR System basically integrates all these functions within a single online platform. HR managers, employers and employees can access the portal (according to the permissions granted to them) and perform the requested tasks.
It automates many processes, such as scheduling for example. Some HR Softwares are powered by AI and Machine Learning, which means that they can keep track of the employees availability and preferences, and build and schedule the shifts, which will only require to be approved by the managers.
Each company is different, and the price range is diverse. If your company (whether you are the owner or employee) is in a point where every process takes forever because the files are all kept in different folders, computers, by different people... a HR Software might be a tool to consider, and that could reduce many administration costs (plus a ton of time that is usually lost just on locating and organising documents).
Apart from Complygate HR, there are a few more HR Software that I would recommend: Personio, Breathe HR and People HR.
Are there any HR Software that your company has used/uses that you would recommend? Why is it?
