HR technology has taken surprisingly long to get going. The human element could be the reason for this. JohanFourieZA, spoke to the founders of two South African HR solutions geared towards small businesses about what it is that HR tech can offer.

Human resources. HR. From recruitment to managing leave to paying monthly salaries until, ultimately, you get the dreaded letter in the mail informing you that your services will not be required anymore. HR is the liver of an organisation: it unobtrusively ensures that everyone works smoothly, and where necessary, removes those that are harmful. You can’t live without one.
Yet HR is typically an expensive part of any organisation. Many founders try to go it alone; when there are only a handful of employees, it is still easy to manage payroll issues themselves. But this becomes burdensome very quickly, which is why HR tech is now a thing. I spoke to the founders of two South African HR solutions geared towards small businesses about what it is that HR tech can offer.
“It is about bringing together everything you need to manage and grow your team,” says Kobus Ehlers, founder and CEO of Radar. “Previously companies had to perform a variety of manual functions, or use different systems, to keep track of leave, manage HR and make sure their payroll is processed. With Radar we integrate that all into a single platform that you can use, even if you are not an accountant or HR professional.”Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.
