How we rate HR software
The best HR software offers small businesses the ability to manage their human resources tasks. The HR software on our list should make a business’ HR operations run more efficiently and effectively. It needs to have features like an employee database and handbook, organizational charts, reporting dashboards, time tracking and benefits administration tools.
It should also offer core recruiting features, like syndicated job postings, social recruiting tools, automatic candidate matching, employee referrals and interviewing tools.
Our team of experts reviewed 25 HR software companies and analyzed over 1,060 data points. We always spend over 100 hours researching to ensure we provide small businesses with all the information they need to know before choosing an HR software.
Each company is ranked on a five-star scale that is based on a number of factors, which we have listed down below. These ratings are then used to rank each company’s service and determine the best options for small business owners.
It is important to note that advertisers do not influence our editorial decisions or content.
