I've had a number of fellow searchers ask me what questions they should ask during diligence to help better understand the "state of HR" in the company they are acquiring. I put together a list of the top questions I always advise searchers to ask. This certainly isn't an exhaustive HR diligence list, but a good starting point. Hope this helps you not acquire a HR nightmare! https://seayhr.com/blog/questions-to-ask-before-buying-a-business/

Thanks for sharing Marci. I'd bet this is often one of the more overlooked pieces of diligence. Very insightful!
