SelectSoftware Reviews

SSR started in 2018 to help organizations find and buy the right HR and recruiting tools through in depth reviews and buyer guides.

You can read about how we select vendors, check out our HR software buyer guides, or use our many resources for teams looking to buy software around ROI, price negotiations, or how to get buy-in from your boss.

Our business makes money through vendor advertising. If a vendor is selected to be on our site, we allow them to advertise and so we may earn a fee if you click on various vendor links throughout our site.  We also typically have advertisers in our newsletter.

Our Editorial team works separately from our sales team. Editorial has 100% control over what is written on the site, and which vendors we share with our audience. Each month we turn down offers to pay to be on our site. We strongly believe that our success aligns with our readers, and the best way to serve readers is by offering objective advice.

You can talk to an advisor, and get software advice for FREE!

Harriet

Harriet is an AI solution that actually puts people first. In my experience leading HR at companies like The Granite Group, I've seen how technology can and should serve a primary purpose: enabling meaningful human connections.

Harriet is an AI solution that handles the day-to-day HR tasks through the channels your people already use – Slack, WhatsApp, SMS, you name it. They are there 24/7, whether your team is on the factory floor at 3 AM or working remotely across time zones.

What makes Harriet different?They seamlessly integrate with your existing tools, making HR accessible where your people already are. They manage routine questions and tasks, freeing your HR team to focus on what truly matters – building relationships, developing talent, and creating an engaging workplace culture.

Most importantly, Harriet helps deliver what I've always advocated for: an HR function that drives real business value. By reducing administrative overhead, your HR team can focus on strategic initiatives that boost engagement, retention, and ultimately, your bottom line.

Remember, HR tools should never replace human connection – they should enhance it. That's exactly what Harriet does.

Think you're ready to transform your HR function? Reach out to me and I’ll make a connection to the incredible Harriet team!
