HR for ERP Software Providers: Functional Consultants, Go-Lives and Long Projects

We set up the interview and hiring process for ERP software providers

Every business interviews, but few have a written process that works the same way for every role and every interviewer. GullyHR designs yours, from the role brief to the offer, trains your managers to run it, and can run it for you on the roles you hand us.

1. 1. Role brief and scorecard

   We agree what the role must deliver, the must-have and nice-to-have skills, and how each will be scored.

2. 2. Stages and sequence

   Screening call, assessment, interview rounds and decision points, sized to the role and the number of people you hire.

3. 3. Question bank and scoring

   Structured questions for each role family and a rating guide, so two interviewers judge the same answer the same way.

4. 4. Interviewer readiness

   A short briefing for your managers on what to ask, what to avoid and how to give a clear yes or no.

5. 5. Offer and follow-up

   Who approves, how the offer is made, and how candidates are kept informed from first call to joining.

HR topics for ERP software providers

Start with the topics that matter most here: Career and Succession Management; Retention and Attrition Management; HR Operations and Governance. Then work through the rest. Each topic is written for information technology and software, not in general.

Career and Succession Management

Named backups for the roles that cannot be vacant.

Retention and Attrition Management

Who leaves, when, why — and which of them mattered.

HR Operations and Governance

An HR function that runs the same way every month.

HR Strategy and Workforce Planning

How many people, in which roles, by when — and what they will cost.

Organisation Design

Structure, reporting lines and who is allowed to decide what.

Recruitment and Talent Acquisition

Requisition to joining, the same way every time.

Onboarding and Probation

A first day that is the same for the fifth joiner as the first.

Employee Administration

Records, attendance, leave and the day-to-day HR that must simply work.

Compensation, Payroll and Benefits

Salary structure, payroll inputs and a month that closes on time.

Performance Management

Goals, reviews and ratings that hold up in a conversation.

Learning and Development

Training planned from need rather than from the calendar.

Employee Engagement and Experience

Communication, recognition and the conditions people actually work in.

Employee Relations

Two routes — one for complaints, one for conduct — kept separate.

Policies, Compliance and Governance

Policies a manager can apply, and obligations with owners and dates.

Health, Safety and Wellbeing

Induction, records, incident reporting and follow-through.

Exit and Alumni Management

Resignation to relieving letter, in a defined order.

HR Technology and Automation

Records that survive people, and approvals that do not queue.

HR Analytics and Management Reporting

A short monthly pack management actually reads.
