HR & People software FAQ

What is an HRIS?
An HRIS, or human resource information system, is the core database for employee records, usually covering HR, time off and often payroll and benefits.
Should I buy an all-in-one HR suite or separate tools?
Smaller teams favour an all-in-one platform for simplicity. Larger or specialised teams often combine a core HRIS with best-of-breed recruiting or learning tools.
