HR database for consulting firms
BestConsultant’s HR base centralizes the firm: employees, support roles, externals and alumni. One record per person, an org chart, skills, engagements, onboarding, salaries and bonuses. Staffing and evaluations read this source — not a side spreadsheet.
Why centralize the firm’s HR in one base?
Each person has a record: career path, skill matrix, experience, engagements, degrees, office. Consultants and support roles are created with an access profile. The org chart builds itself. When you look for who to staff, you read this base, not a file on the side.
Skills, engagements, alumni: the same record everywhere
Alumni stay in the base. Onboarding and offboarding have their own processes and message templates. Bonuses, statuses and contract types are configurable. Statistics show turnover by country, office, team or group, departure reasons and tenure — so headcount is steered from the same place.
What this is not
- Payroll software (payslips, filings, transfers).
- A medical file.
- A decorative directory disconnected from staffing and evaluations.
| Role | What they track |
|---|---|
| HR | Records, on/offboarding, turnover |
| Staffing | Skills, engagements, linked availability |
| Employee | Their record, the org chart |
Evaluation software for consulting firms
Post-project, period or 360° reviews — a synthesis that feeds promotion sessions, not a disconnected annual survey.
Invoicing software for consulting firms
Invoice on budget or actuals from staffing and timesheets — no spreadsheet between the engagement and cash collected.
