How to Hire Top HRIS Implementation Specialists

HRIS implementation specialists are HR professionals who know how to set up and run an HRIS.

So how do you hire HRIS implementation specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top HRIS implementation specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist HRIS implementation professionals

As you’re browsing available HRIS implementation consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want an HRIS implementation specialist who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., implementing BambooHR).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular HRIS implementation specialist.

How to write an effective HRIS implementation job post

With a clear picture of your ideal HRIS implementation specialist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a freelancer to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective HRIS implementation job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From payroll to benefits, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, HRIS solutions, or HR functions, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
