FAQ
Q: Do I pay anything for this service?
A: No it is completely free to all potential purchasers, as the site overhead is borne by the vendors showcased here.
Q: What's the right term: HRIS or HRMS?
A: There's no right term. HRIS is Human Resources Information System, HRMS is Human Resources Management Software. Take your pick!
Q: What software is included in the term HRIS?
A: HRIS covers the whole gamut of software dealing with the recording, monitoring, recruitment, development and remuneration of employees. The most well-known applications are HR, Payroll, Time & Attendance, Recruitment, e-Recruitment,Training, e-Learning, Absence and Performance Management.
Q: I’m looking for additional applications that are not featured here – can you help me?
A: Some of our HRIS vendors have partnerships with software houses that provide features not covered by their own offering and so it is worth enquiring of those indicated on your selected shortlist. In the unlikely event that they cannot help you, please contact us.
Q: Can I save the Selection Tool part way through and come back to it?
A: At present the Tool cannot be saved whilst in progress.
Q: What if I don’t know a budget figure for my HRIS project?
A: We use the budget figure to indicate to the vendors the scale of the HRIS project; clearly an organisation of 500 employees may not be best served by HRIS software aimed at 2,500 plus employees.
Q: What if I can’t give answers to all the questions?
A: The questions are aimed to narrow choices down to those best meeting your requirements. Where you are unable to be specific, it merely leaves more choices opted in.
Q: I’ve completed the HRIS Selector Tool questionnaire, but I’m not ready to start booking demos for HRIS just yet.
A: The Terms and Conditions advise that your details will be forwarded to your top 5 picks after one week. Please contact us if you want to draw up an alternative action plan.
Q: I now have my HRIS shortlist, where can I get additional impartial advice?
A: It depends on what advice you require. Please check with us to discuss your particular requirements.
Q: What do you do with the personal information I have provided?
A: This is stored securely so that you are identified on further visits, and is distributed to the vendors when you request demonstrations or further details.
Q: Can I use the Selection Tool more than once?
A: Yes, currently there is no limit to the number of times that you are able to use the Selection Tool.
