Methodology for
HR software selection

From our many years of experience in HR software selection, we know that every project is different. Nevertheless, a certain procedure has become established for the evaluation of suitable HR software.

Analysis

Needs analysis and requirements catalog

The first step is to determine the specific need. This is discussed in joint meetings with the persons responsible for the specific area using specially developed checklists. Based on this, a requirements profile is drawn up, which is then elaborated by our experts into a professional requirements catalog. In order to make the subsequent tendering process as efficient as possible, this requirements catalog is already written in the technical language of the software providers.

Analysis

Pre-selection of HR software

The tender participants are determined together. As preliminary work, we submit a proposal list with approx. 10 eligible software solutions, which we have selected from the wide range of HR software. This pre-selection is carried out in the highest degree of transparency and is based on previously defined criteria (costs, functionality, usability, architecture, security).

Analysis

Tender

Consult-HR ensures that the request for proposals is conducted properly and is available to answer any questions from the software vendors. The results of the request for proposals are compiled into a presentation. We provide you with additional background information on the vendors and their HR software, allowing us to narrow down the list of candidates to typically three software solutions.

Analysis

Software presentations

These three candidates will then be invited to give presentations at your company. To ensure that the solutions presented are comparable, it is necessary to create so-called storyboards that outline selected business processes. Upon request, we can assist you with both the creation of the storyboards and the conduct and evaluation of the presentations.

Analysis

Offer analysis and contract negotiation

After the presentations, concrete offers are obtained from the manufacturers. Here, too, we are happy to support you in analyzing the offers, providing you with valuable information on better conditions and possible price reductions. Consult-HR supports you in the final decision for a supplier and the final contract negotiation.

Analysis

Project management during implementation

We are also happy to assist you with project management during the software implementation and support you all the way through to go-live. We help you establish new processes (change management) and develop a target architecture for HR IT.

J. Schmalz GmbH

Market Leader in Vacuum Technology
Mr. Daubenberger and the team at Consult-HR Management Consulting provided us with excellent support in selecting the right partner and fully met our expectations. Before we began working together, we had focused our attention on just a few providers we were already familiar with. Thanks to Mr. Daubenberger’s insights, we were able to broaden our perspective—and ultimately find the provider that’s truly the right fit for us. That’s exactly what good consulting looks like!
