What is FrontRunners?
The FrontRunners is a data-driven analysis of products that offer the best value and capability for small businesses.
Software AdviceTM FrontRunners methodology calculates a product’s score based on published user reviews. The score is based on two primary variables: Usability (on the x-axis) and User Recommended (on the y-axis).
The analysis uses real reviews from real users and is designed to help businesses make informed decisions about what software suits their needs. In the HRIS category, Software Advice TM evaluated over 366 products based on the following criteria:
The FrontRunners Usability score is based on the weighted average of two user ratings:
1. End-user ratings on the software’s functionality (one to five stars).
2. End-user ratings on the software’s ease of use (one to five stars).
On the other hand, the FrontRunners User Recommended score is based on the weighted average of the following ratings:
1. End-user ratings on how likely they are to recommend the product or software (one to five stars).
2. End-user ratings on how valuable the product is relative to its price (one to five stars).
The FrontRunners Quadrant is created based on the above criteria. Products that meet a specific minimum score is included in the quadrant. Software AdviceTM makes sure that the minimum score varies so there are only 10-15 products included in the FrontRunners Quadrant.
The minimum score varies per category. Products that score less than 3.0 in either Usability or User Recommended is dropped from the list. A product’s Usability and User Recommended scores determines its position in the FrontRunners Quadrant.
Recent reviews (published within the previous 18 months) are weighed heavily when calculating a product’s Usability and User Recommended scores.
CakeHR – Award Winning HR Vendor
For organizations and HR departments, Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) help manage and track employee information. It acts as a centralized repository of key employee data that the HR needs to complete its core processes.
An HRIS can store and process data such as names, addresses, social security numbers, etc. It can also include various functionalities like time tracking, attendance management, onboarding, and payroll. Most modern HRIS software is self-servicing, meaning employees can request time offs or check their benefits using the software without the intervention of an HR professional.

The Future of HR
Over the past decades, the HR has evolved from a mere back office support to a more agile and influential role. It’s a war for talent out there. Organizations want the HR to take the lead and now, they have the right weapon for it.
Technology is changing how the HR works. So, don’t be surprised if you’ll see these changes in the coming years:
⇒ The HR will be mobile
From paperweights to bulky desktop computers to smartphones. The HR of the future will be mobile. Cloud-based HRIS software like CakeHR enables the HR to leave comments, assign tasks, edit schedules, approve leaves, or analyze reports while having a hot cup of coffee or riding the morning train.
⇒ HR will be diverse
The HR of the future will not only have psychology graduates and management experts. It will also include a team of developers, tech-savvy people, brand editors, and data scientists. HR will be all about diversity of skills.
As competition becomes more challenging and tech-driven, companies will need people who can do copywriting for a job description. Professionals who can read data. And people who are social savvy and knows how to connect with people and industry influencers.
⇒ HR will be data driven
What’s the best month to hire people with specific skillsets? What are the most trending skills? How many hours does it take to hire and onboard a person? Who are the best performers? Who is the worst and why? sBig data is the future. And the HR will take the lead in analyzing and interpreting it.
“In the coming decade, the career trajectory of HR professionals will be determined more so than ever by the analysis of data and metrics. Although HR already uses some metrics such as turnover ratios and employee engagement levels, you can expect to see new metrics tracked and used in HR, such as the average timeframe for staff to be ready for promotion, or percentage of top candidates to be hired within the organization.” – Gyutae Park
⇒ HR will be “out there”
Before, the HR is just tucked away in an office far from employees. That will not be the case for the HR of the future. The HR will be social. They will be out there interacting with employees on a daily basis. They will be building relationships, enforcing company policies, nurturing company culture, and assessing needs.
⇒ HR will be flexible
Nine to five jobs are a thing of the past. The future will be all about flexibility and work-life balance. Employees will want to work from home, get some time off to be creative, or be able to take a break without repercussions. The HR of today are starting to understand that as more and more Millenials enter the workforce. So, don’t be surprised if you see work from home become the norm in the companies of the future.
