Weekly Picks Part 1: 5 HR Tech Products You Should Try In 2020
Karolis Narkevicius
This is the first in a series of posts where we share some of our favorite work tools with you. We are product people, we love building products and so we often obsessively keep track of the latest tools being released, endlessly seeking to improve our daily work. We hope that the products we'll share with you can be helpful in making you more productive and making work more enjoyable, especially as we are all currently forced to spend even more time in front of our computers. The first in the series, something close to our hearts – HR Tech!
From workflow automation to 1 click payroll and improved collaboration for remote teams, we think this decade is going to be big for HR Tech.
The number of tools and solutions that companies put in place is rapidly increasing. That's because technology is able to take care of increasingly more aspects of running a business, a function or a team, and give time back to focus on more creative tasks.
We've listed products that are solving tangible problems and are covering different aspects of the HR tech stack (call them complementary). We believe like any growing startup would benefit from these tools.
Our criteria also includes the quality of design and ease of use, which for us is an overarching element that any great software should have to make our life at work enjoyable.

The folks at Pento are automating this process for you, making the experience quick and delightful. Configure and go, you will be able to fully manage the payroll process without any help.
Slite – Workplace knowledge in one place
Slite is a company wide workspace where you can create documents to consolidate all of your company's knowledge into a central, organised and accessible place. Slite will help you in a wide range of use cases, such as creating company handbooks, documenting processes or projects, facilitating employee onboarding and training, collecting meeting notes and much more. We haven't tried Slite in depth yet and would be curious to know how it compares with the increasingly popular Notion. Tried both? Let us know which one you prefer.
