THE PLATFORM NEEDS ITS OWN TEST

Don’t just watch.
Work through it.

Twelve tasks to put in front of every shortlisted provider. Start with a routine action, then ask to see a mistake, an exception or a failure.

Use the same scenario

A demonstration environment, synthetic employee details and your actual hiring countries. Ask for employer, employee and local partner views.

Record the evidence

Provider, product, country, date, role tested, manual steps, time taken, gaps and follow-up owner. Distinguish what was shown from what was only described.

Keep the status clear

Provider claim → customer report → demonstrated → independently tested. We have not yet carried out hands-on tests of these platforms.
