Hands On Onboarding

Best Global Employment Platforms

Global Employment Platforms are quietly running payroll, contracts, and compliance for distributed teams. We tested ten of them over eight weeks - hiring engineers in Germany, contractors in Brazil, and a post-acquisition team across three continents - and came back with the kind of unsentimental opinions vendors do not want buyers to have.

Best HR Analytics Software

Our team spent six weeks testing 10 HR analytics platforms, feeding the same messy employee dataset into each one - 800 records spread across three payroll systems, two countries, and one spreadsheet that should have been retired years ago - to find out which tools actually surface useful patterns and which ones just make pretty charts.
