HR System Selection - ReThink HR

Selecting an HR System is an important decision.

The choice can be overwhelming, with multiple complex features to compare, and benefits to weigh up.

Making the wrong choice could cost your company dearly in both time and money.

The Concerns

You don’t know precisely what you need or the possibilities.

You’re too busy to sit through multiple demos.

It’s difficult to compare like with like.

Key Project Stages – System Selection

“We didn’t know what we didn’t know and so having experts who could help to identify and shortlist the right systems was invaluable. ReThink HR were experts at clarifying our requirements and taking the pressure off the team by liaising with the multiple vendors, keeping everyone updated and on track.”

Lisa Seel, People Operations Manager, Ampa Group

What we bring

The Big Picture. When you’re deep in the business, it can be difficult to look up and see what’s needed. We bring a fresh perspective and creative thinking.

Independence. We are not tied to any vendor, so we won’t try to squeeze in a system if it’s not right for you. We’ll bring a clear set of choices based on your business needs, not ours.

Speed. We’ve learnt the pros and cons of these systems through experience, so we can quickly discount solutions that don’t suit your needs, helping you decide faster.

Clarity. Every sales demo is different, and tends to focus on the system’s strengths not its weaknesses. We give you clear criteria to measure against, on functionality, service and value-for-money.

Reassurance. Before you make a final decision, we’ll review the proposal and system contract with you to ensure that they absolutely meet your requirements.

“Working with ReThink HR on this project allowed us to access specialist knowledge and to save a significant amount of time on defining the specification for our needs and researching the market, thereby allowing our team to focus on the decision making process. With a very lean HR team, the time saved was much appreciated and we felt that we were making an informed decision about the options available to us.”
