Questions
Choosing an HR software alternative.
How do the HR software alternative guides work?
Each guide starts with one named supplier and explains when keeping it makes sense, when HollyHR may fit and which other routes answer a different requirement.
When should we keep our current HR software?
Keep it when the features your team uses are working well, the full price and contract remain acceptable, and moving would add work without solving a recurring problem.
How should we compare HR software prices?
Price the team you have, the next likely headcount and every required module. Add the contract term, renewal and notice rules. A low entry price is not a full cost comparison.
What should we test before switching HR software?
Use your own starter, leave, sickness, manager-permission and export cases. Keep the outputs and list every integration, specialist record or workflow that needs separate work.
