About Pilat
Specialist HR software, backed by decades of experience
Pilat started in the 1970s as an organisational development consultancy. We moved into HR software development more than 30 years ago, drawing on the experience we’d gained working with organisations and their HR practices.
Our software has changed considerably over those years, from early desktop applications to today’s cloud-based systems. We’ve expanded our range of products and the HR processes they support, adapting our technology as the needs of organisations have changed.
What we do
Pilat specialises in performance management, talent management, succession planning, 360-degree feedback, job evaluation and pay modelling.
Our software can be used independently or alongside HR platforms such as Workday, Oracle HCM and SAP SuccessFactors.
Gauge, our job evaluation product, and our 360-degree feedback system can be implemented with relatively little configuration. Performance and talent management implementations are often more extensively tailored to a client’s requirements.
Underpinning all our products is our own configurable software platform. It allows us to configure and customise applications, including developing additional functionality where needed, without having to build an entirely new system.
Talent
Helping organisations make better talent decisions
Performance
Aligning performance with organisational goals
Job Evaluation
Evaluating job responsibilities, not the job holder
Pay & Grading
Exploring pay scenarios and their cost implications
360 Feedback
Multiple perspectives reveal strengths and growth areas
Working with our clients
Pilat has offices and employees in both the UK and the US, supporting clients across Europe, North America, and other parts of the world. We work across a wide range of sectors, including financial services, utilities, retail, healthcare, government, police services, education, and legal and professional services.
Although many HR activities are common across these sectors, the way organisations carry them out can differ considerably. Before deciding how best to implement a system, we establish what each client wants to retain, what they want to change and what they need from it. Where existing processes work well, we can adapt our software to support them rather than expecting clients to change the way they work.
We develop and support our own products, remaining directly involved when clients need changes or additional functionality after implementation. Some of our clients have been with Pilat for over 20 years.
The systems we provide often hold sensitive employee information. Pilat is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, with our information security management system independently audited.
