The written short answer is being updated after a re-evaluation. The scores below are current.

Read this comparison as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Works Council Advocate

Sits on the Betriebsrat and has to approve this rollout under BetrVG §87. Reads every feature for whether it can monitor behaviour, and asks what is logged, who can read it and what can be switched off. A tool that cannot answer those questions does not get installed, however good it is.

Haufe Talent

rexx systems

This judge's pick

Criterion by criterion

Digital personnel file & data model

Haufe Talent

The evidence confirms only that a product called 'Haufe Digitale Personalakte' exists and is available — not one word about document types, org structure, custom fields, contract history, or the field-level permissions a personnel file needs before I will sign off on it. A product name is not a system of record; I score above the contact-list floor only because a digital personnel file product is confirmed to exist at all.

rexx systems

The digital personnel file page shows a genuinely structured file: salary data and development, complete historization with revision-safe archiving, batch scanning, document generation and digital signature, plus organisation management covering subsidiaries and multi-entity administration. We found no public information on effective-dated contract history or field-level permissions, so I cannot call it the auditor-grade single source of truth.

Payroll handoff

Haufe Talent

Nothing in the captured pages describes any payroll path — no DATEV, no Lohn und Gehalt, no export format, no handling of joiners, leavers or mid-month changes. The 'Steuer Office' products are tools for tax advisers, not an HR-to-payroll handoff, so by the evidence's silence this is a monthly retyping exercise.

rexx systems

An official DATEV interface partnership covering LODAS and Lohn und Gehalt, with change-based master-data transfer, variable pay, absences, payslips flowing back, and named connections to ADP, Paisy and SAP HR — that is a vendor-maintained, certified-grade handoff. We found no public information on a documented pre-payroll check, an approval and lock step, or retro-accounting, which is why I stop short of a fully governed payroll process.

Absence & working-time

Haufe Talent

No vacation requests, no sickness handling, no working-time recording, and not even a mention of the BAG 2022 / ArbZG recording duty anywhere in the captured material. Without working-time records that a labour inspection can read, this cannot carry that obligation at all.

rexx systems

Working-time capture via browser, app and terminal, multiple time accounts, overtime caps, shift models and automatic implementation of legal requirements across countries, joined by pro-rata entitlement, eAU sick certificates and full absence history online. As the councillor signing off the recording duty, I have to note we found no public information on tamper-evident time records, documented ArbZG compliance, or monitoring limits a works council could configure — and sickness statistics sit in the reporting engine with no stated off-switch.

Recruiting & onboarding

Haufe Talent

Neither applicant tracking nor onboarding appears in any form — no careers page, no stages, no checklist, no GDPR-conscious applicant retention or deletion. The captured pages are a publisher's shop window, not a join path.

rexx systems

The join path is real: multiposting with named channels such as finest-jobs.com and the Bundesagentur, CV parser, scorecards, calendar synchronisation and e-signed contracts flowing seamlessly into onboarding workflows with equipment provisioning, timelines and automatic reminders. Two AI details read well for co-determination — humans make the final decision and CV parsing is the applicant's opt-in — though we found no public information on approval-gated requisitions or automated applicant deletion in the product itself.

Employee data protection & co-determination

Haufe Talent

The privacy page was captured and yielded only marketing copy for the CoPilot AI assistant — no DPA, no retention periods, no role model, no audit log of who read what. Most damning for me: an AI assistant is offered as available with zero documentation of what it logs, who can read those logs, and whether it can be switched off; under BetrVG §87 a tool that cannot answer those questions does not get installed, however good it is.

rexx systems

Encryption, role rights and an audit trail are claimed, the operation is ISO 27001:2022 certified, and data-subject rights are documented — but the public pages do not answer my three questions: what exactly is logged, who can read it, and what can be switched off. We found no public information on a signable data-processing agreement, employee retention periods per data category, or configurable limits on behavioural features such as sickness-statistics reporting and the monitoring of onboarding-talk documentation.

European sovereignty

Haufe Talent

The vendor is a German KG in Freiburg, which is the one comfort here, but the evidence's own sovereignty attributes mark legal entity, ownership, data residency and every subprocessor as 'unknown'. A Freiburg letterhead does not tell me where the servers sit; undocumented is undocumented, and I will not assume my way past a missing subprocessor list.

rexx systems

A Hamburg-based GmbH running its own cloud on German and Swiss ISO-certified data centres, with an on-premises option for buyers who need it — that is the reassurance a council wants on paper. We found no public information on the product's subprocessor list or the data-centre provider's name, and the imprint lists group entities in Austria and Switzerland without saying which one signs customer contracts.

Pricing transparency

Haufe Talent

No price, tier, billing period, minimum term or setup fee appears anywhere in the captured pages — every number is a sales conversation. Nobody in the council, and no HR lead, can compute an annual invoice from this.

rexx systems

The pricing page states the software is calculated individually with no standard packages, and the only concrete figures anywhere are consulting and training hours in an entry package, with no prices. An HR lead cannot compute an annual invoice for their headcount from the public pages; every number is a sales conversation.
