Posted 3 days ago

Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only

Summary

We're running a short, paid research study on what actually happens to employees after a deal closes: getting them onto the acquirer's payroll, HRIS, ERP, CRM, or internal tools, and training them to use it. We want people who did this hands-on, not from a distance. Integration and PMO leads, HR/HRIS/People Ops, IT leads, change management or L&D, and fractional COOs/CHROs are all a fit. You should be US-based and have worked on at least one acquisition in the last five years where acquired employees were moved onto new systems. 30 to 60 minute video call, $75/hr prorated. No prep, no right answers, nothing being sold. To apply, please answer briefly: - Which deal, what year it closed, and the size of the acquired company - Your role and what you personally owned - The systems people were moved onto, by name - What tools you used to plan and run the cutover and training, by name - How you knew when it was finished Applications without these specifics won't be considered.
