In today’s digital-first workplace, the right HR technology and analytics can set growing companies apart.

Our HR Tech & Analytics services combine cutting-edge tools and strategy to automate routine tasks, surface actionable insights, and keep your team focused on people – not paperwork.

HR Software Consulting

Selecting the right HR software can be overwhelming. Our HR Software Consulting connects you with experts who guide your team through selecting, setting up, and optimizing HR systems. We start with a thorough needs assessment to understand your current HR strategy and identify gaps. Then we shape a technology strategy around your business priorities – whether it’s scaling globally, improving retention, or supporting hybrid teams. Throughout implementation, we manage system setup, data migration, and integrations so everything runs smoothly from day one. Finally, we train your team with custom playbooks and onboarding sessions to drive adoption and unlock the full value of your new HR platform.

  • Needs Assessment: Review your HR processes and goals to recommend the right HR technology stack.
  • Strategy Development: Design an HR software strategy aligned with business objectives (e.g. scaling operations or improving employee experience).
  • Implementation: Handle software configuration, data migration, integrations, and compliance to ensure a smooth rollout.
  • Training & Adoption: Provide training, documentation, and support to help your team embrace the new system and work more efficiently.

People Analytics

People analytics (HR analytics) uses data to power smarter HR decisions. By collecting and analyzing workforce data—from hiring metrics to engagement surveys—we help uncover trends that boost retention, hiring effectiveness, and performance. For startups and mid-sized companies across the US, UK, Germany, and Singapore, this means using analytics to answer questions like “Which hiring channels yield the best talent?” or “How can we reduce turnover?” Partnering with experts accelerates the process: you gain out-of-the-box dashboards with key HR metrics, seamless integration across data sources, and ongoing guidance to translate insights into action.

  • Out-of-the-Box Analytics: Pre-packaged dashboards and reports that put key HR metrics at your fingertips, eliminating manual reporting.
  • Unified Data Sources: Integrate HR, recruitment, learning, and performance systems so you get a single, accurate view of your workforce.
  • Expert Guidance: Ongoing support to interpret data and align analytics with your goals, ensuring HR stays agile and evidence-driven.

HR Automation

HR automation uses software to streamline repetitive, time-consuming tasks. By automating processes like onboarding, time tracking, and benefits administration, HR teams save time and reduce manual errors. Modern HR automation tools let employees use self-service portals for common actions—updating personal info, submitting leave requests, or enrolling in benefits—without involving HR staff. This boosts efficiency and transparency across locations. Businesses in Canada, Australia, UAE, and New Zealand especially benefit from scalable, automated HR processes as they grow and diversify.

  • Payroll & Benefits: Automatic paycheck processing, salary adjustments, and self-service benefits enrollment, reducing manual work.
  • Recruiting & Onboarding: Automate job postings, resume screening, candidate communications, and new-hire setup tasks for faster hiring.
  • Time & Performance Tracking: Streamline timekeeping, attendance, and performance review workflows to ensure accuracy and consistency.
  • Compliance & Records: Automated alerts for training or certification expirations and centralized employee record management to stay audit-ready.

AI Tools in HR

AI in HR brings intelligence to automation. We leverage AI-driven tools that use machine learning, natural language processing, and predictive analytics to handle tasks once done manually. For example, AI-powered recruiting can screen resumes, match candidates to roles, and schedule interviews – reducing workload and bias in hiring. AI also delivers predictive insights: tools like Lattice or Eightfold can flag employees at risk of leaving, enabling timely retention efforts. Conversational AI assistants (such as Olivia by Paradox) can engage with candidates and employees via chat, answering questions and facilitating onboarding. By using AI in HR, we help you make faster, fairer decisions – from improving diversity in hiring to personalizing employee experiences. Companies in the UK, US, Singapore, and Germany are increasingly using AI to scale with intelligence and agility.

  • Intelligent Recruiting: Automate resume screening, candidate matching, and interview scheduling with AI-powered tools.
  • Predictive Retention: Use analytics to identify flight risks and proactively improve retention through targeted programs.
  • Conversational AI Assistants: Deploy virtual HR assistants (e.g. Olivia by Paradox) to answer candidate and employee queries via chat or voice.
  • Bias Reduction & DEI Analytics: Employ AI to anonymize and objectively score applications, supporting fair and compliant hiring practices.
