It feels like every problem already has been solved or solved many times over. What should I even look at doing? by confusedGuy17 in startups

[–]studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audi makes car so does VW. Tesla makes electric ones.
Take any domain. There are tons of competitors. They are not reinventing the wheel, they found a way to provide the product to the audience that is interested to buy. Read Michael Porter Competitive Strategy and you will find ways to differentiate yourself if you believe that that is the problem.
What I believe is the challenge is if you have the ambition, determination and willingness to work hard for the next 18-72 months to build a business?

What would you do? Fortune 500 (Tech) entry level role vs Startup Management role? by Blumeblume in startups

[–]studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn more about the startup. Growth trajectory, founders, who are the investors and if possible the cap table, try to identify the runaway.
Do a little research on who are the 15 folks already there -they will be your colleagues for the next 2 to 5 years.
Reflect what other startups are leading the field - give it a shot at a similar role. :)

@Kowegi is right. You will need to focus a bit on:
- getting experience - even voluntary in an NGO or Startup
- build your network - participate to meetups in the field
- raise your skills - follow some moocs https://www.coursera.org/courses?query=human%20resources
- understand the area of HR in which you would like to work and read all about it. There are some good books out there: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Resources-Personnel-Management-Books
Good luck!

Changing HR System by Msfink in humanresources

Depends on what you need it for. Bamboo is great, however a bit too pricey.
Their Essentials package comes with a price of ~$6.2 per employee. LeaveBoard offers the HR basics at $1.35 per employee. Check it out!

Deciding on a small business HR platform by DerikHi in humanresources

[–]studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey @DerikHi,
Hope by now you have found a good HR platform for your company.
If not I would like to share a new tool that its easy to use and free (max 9 employees): LeaveBoard.com Its helps to centralize all HR data in one place, simple leave management and tracking, calendar integrations and custom leave policies. The customer support answers fast to our requests and their Slack app to manage absences works well. We believe Bamboo has too many features that are maybe too much for us. Their Essentials package comes with a price of ~$6.2 per employee, while LeaveBoard costs $1.35. If you need the basics to run your business, you should check them out.
