BuyerZone user comments: HR software purchasing requirements

"To provide effective, timely MIS by implementing a single Human Resource Information System (HRIS) across all 3 offices, that: • contains a single set of data elements required for Firm-wide consistency; • interfaces with local payroll solutions; • has automated update and query processes; • is made directly available to the employee through a self-service portal.• interfaces with the compensation system. HR processes (e.g. recruitment/ performance management/ training), can then be automated as Phase 2."

"We have over 800 employees in the United States, Canada and Germany, and need a way to track their employee data (including benefit enrollments), get in compliance with EEOC reporting, and track bonus and salary year-to-year. Currently we have this data saved on excel spreadsheets, and are in need of a better system."
-- General Manager, Manufacturing, Arlington, VA

"We are looking for a great benefits/compensation module that will create reports to send to insurance companies, provide total benefits statements, allow employee sign ups for benefits and a print out that will be created to send to insurance carriers. In the compensation module we want to pull information on a position to see how it evolved over the year compared to budget. We are looking for a very sophisticated software in this area as we are looking to analyze expenses through payroll and be able to forecast. Another area we are interested in is employee self-service and manager self-service. We are also interested in a very user-friendly applicant tracking software."
