Frequently Asked Questions

What HR platform is best for European companies?

Personio is built specifically for European SMBs with strong GDPR compliance. Deel HR is excellent for globally distributed teams. Both handle EU employment regulations well.

Do I need separate HR and project management tools?

Yes. HR tools manage people and policies; project management tools (like Refront) manage work and deliverables. They serve different purposes but can share data (e.g., team capacity from HR informs sprint planning).

When should a company invest in HR software?

Most companies benefit from HR software at 15-20 employees, when spreadsheet-based tracking becomes error-prone and time-consuming. Some tools like Deel HR offer free tiers for early adoption.
