By Louis Corneloup · Updated HR teams run a stack divided by company size and what HR actually owns. Below 50 employees: an HRIS (Gusto, Rippling, Justworks, Deel for international) typically handles payroll + benefits + onboarding + light performance. 50-500 employees: HRIS plus a separate ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby), a performance/engagement tool (Lattice, 15Five, Leapsome, Culture Amp), and an LMS for compliance training.
Above 500: enterprise HCM (Workday, BambooHR, UKG, ADP) replaces the HRIS, and the question becomes which point solutions integrate.
The trap: buying everything before figuring out what HR actually does day-to-day. Most teams need: hire (ATS), onboard (workflow + e-sign), pay/benefits (HRIS), manage performance (review cycles), and offboard. Anything else is nice-to-have.
