Does anyone here have advice on how to get into an entry level HRIS role? Places to look? Are there any certs that matter?

If you can get any experience in with Excel that's what got me in the door! Systems you work with can all be different but analytics is analytics and Excel shows you can use a computer, build formulas, understand data, etc. If you've got any HRIS peeps at your current company you could also try and message them and ask for advice on maybe projects your department could be involved in or how they got started. Anything that shows you know your way around a computer and if you can understand the different departments HRIS supports like benefits, compensation, operations, etc.

Just search up HRIS jobs, most will be listed that way. There isn’t really any cert you would need for entry level but having advanced skills in Excel would be the minimum I would say and being able to learn new systems easily. HRIS is all about problem solving (esp the higher up you go) so regardless of your experience in other jobs if you have this skill it will go a long way. You need to be able to take a problem and run with it with little to no direction. Most times just to get support you have to replicate things, research it and see if it may have a fix already out there, try multiple solutions yourself, document the process, and then if none of that works reach out for vendor help (all the while still trying to figure things out in case the vendor has no clue). You have to be able to help people understand what they may need even when they ask for something different. And it’s a position that changes frequently based on the requests or projects that come in so you need to be adaptable. It also requires you to be both technical and have some people skills, and to think logically. IMO it really is a specific personality type that fits into HRIS rather than a particular skill set. We can train someone on systems and processes, can’t train into a different personality!

Our company of 110 EEs has separate providers for payroll and HRIS, not happy with either products. I’m gathering data to make a pitch to move everything into an all-in-one HRIS + payroll.

Does it make any difference to make the change effective the first week of 2023 payroll, or to make a change in payroll providers mid year? I’m thinking it’s best to start fresh at the beginning of the year and not worry about two payroll companies for reporting. What are other things to consider?
