Free! Yes that attracts all of us. But Is every free thing really Free!

Free HR Software also attracts us. Internet is flooded with lots of contents on Free HR Software. Type in google and you will have 100s of results (But what these results fetch is a question.) However most new and even old Internet users fell in the trap of Free HR Softwares. Recently, one of HR Professionals I met with told his horror story of Free HR software and how it risked his data, computer and job. I would not disclose the story here, but It motivated me to look into the case of Free HR Software, if it really exists.

After some research I wrote a complete article on it. Here are the findings….

To find the truth, I searched for “Free HR Software” on Google. Look, what I got:

Result 1: First result took me to a site which was displaying Google Advertisements all over with three paragraphs using keyword “Free Hr Software”. Brute SEO.
Result 2: Second result took me to a HR Vendor giving Free 30 Days TRIAL version.
Result 3: Third result took me to an Open Source Software. I downloaded it and even with three days effort I could not install it on my computer due to lack of knowledge of My SQL/ PHP . Only one of my friends who is a software engineer could install it for me. He charges US$ 50 per hour from his clients.
Result 4: This result took me to a site giving FREE DEMO of the software.
Result 5: Again a Google Adsense blogger with lots of Free HR Software text on his page.
Result 6: Next result offered Free Software DEMO only.
Result 7: Some article about HR software.

No more patience…my friend.
