An HR solution

Factorial’s HR software is uniquely addressing two issues facing SMEs around the world.

First, small and medium-sized businesses don’t hire human resources staff until a later stage. This takes its toll since the increase in hybrid work, telecommuting, the shortage of personnel, resources and the need to attract and retain qualified talent means that SMEs need a competitive value without forgetting to put people management at the center.
