HOW WE DETERMINE WHAT WORKS

Every tech tool is extensively analyzed and used in practice

Everyday, new HR tools are introduced that improve the employee experience and help professionalize your company. Deciding what works best for your company is overwhelming due to the sheer number of tools available

Love for HR tech

At VIE People we have scaled over 150 companies while always implementing People Tech aswell. Every 4 months we review the available tools to see if they are still the best to use for a specific phase.

Next to this we analyse new tools coming into the market for the UNLEASH Start Up competition and are a strategic capital partner through VIE Tech Capital.

VIE has extensive experience with many tools. We know what works, can help you choose and, if needed, can help you get going.
