Best HR Software for Small Business
Small business HR software is the bit of the stack that quietly decides whether a Tuesday morning is a Tuesday morning or a four-hour fight with a state tax portal. The category has been promising founders for the better part of a decade that hiring, payroll, benefits, and compliance can all live under one tidy login, and the vendors selling that promise have wildly different definitions of tidy. Our team ran a small-business workload across ten of these platforms over seven weeks - a six-person founding team, three new hires across two states, an open enrolment cycle, and one deliberately awkward classification question about a part-time contractor in California.
