Buyer's Guide to HR and Payroll Technology

Buyer's Guide to HR and Payroll Technology

As an HR leader, selecting a human capital management (HCM) provider is one of the most important decisions you'll make, especially in a business world where the pace of change is accelerating and every aspect of operations—from how you buy, make, and sell products to how you find, hire, and retain talent—is vulnerable to disruption. Despite this, the average HR department still spends 60% of its time on transactional tasks (McKinsey), largely because most HR and payroll solutions aren't designed for strategic leadership—they often function more like social platforms for employees than true business tools. Paycor is different. For over 30 years, we've partnered with HR and finance leaders to develop HCM technology that saves time, delivers powerful analytics for deeper business insight, and offers expert guidance to anticipate challenges. We build HR software for leaders who want to move beyond the day-to-day grind and make a real impact. In this guide, we’ll help you make the right choice for your company when selecting an HCM provider.
