List needs before choosing an HR tool
Turns your company's HR tasks into a ranked requirements list and a demo question set for comparing HR tools, with no decisions on staff.
Task:
Turn the HR tasks of my company into a ranked requirements list that I can use to compare HR tools in demos.
Context:
The company has [number] employees in [countries or regions]. HR work is done by [who does HR work] using [current method]. The tasks that cost the most time are [time-consuming HR tasks]. The budget range is [budget range].
Rules:
- Rank the requirements as must have, should have or nice to have, with one sentence of reasoning each.
- Include a requirement on privacy and access rights for personal data, and tell me to confirm the legal duties with my local HR or legal adviser and to follow company policy.
- Do not make or suggest any decision about a named employee. Describe processes and roles only.
- Do not name or rate specific products, since I will compare them myself.
Result:
A table with the columns requirement, rank and why, at most 15 rows, then eight questions to ask each vendor in a demo.
