HR

The full employee lifecycle — recruiting, payroll, and offboarding.

Human capital on the governed platform, end to end: recruiting and applicant tracking, onboarding, native payroll, benefits, performance, skills, time-off, and offboarding — all built on your real org structure of roles and positions. Sensitive employee data stays walled off by organization, and every change is attributable.

Headcount, payroll, benefits, and turnover on one live dashboard — aggregate, with drill-down on demand.

WHAT IT DOES

Run the whole employee lifecycle — recruiting, onboarding, payroll, benefits, performance, and offboarding — in one governed system.

Onboarding gives every new hire a personal punch-list and managers an at-a-glance view, with forms that prefill, validate, and route through review before anything is filed.
Offboarding runs a consistent exit checklist — knowledge transfer, equipment return, access revocation, final pay — and completing it automatically recovers devices and cuts off a former employee’s login.
A built-in compliance form builder collects signed legal and tax paperwork digitally, with standard forms like I-9 and W-4 baked in.
A skills and certification registry keeps a live inventory of who holds which credentials, catches certifications before they lapse, and confirms them through manager sign-off.
Leave balances accrue automatically and accurately month after month — missed runs catch up, carryover limits are enforced — and managers approve or decline in one click against a shared calendar.
Goals connect to measurable outcomes and update their own attainment as progress is logged, with performance reviews kept on track and every employee’s history on record.
When someone joins or leaves, their equipment is provisioned or recovered automatically — department and role drive what a new hire’s laptop receives, eliminating manual HR-to-IT handoffs.
Sensitive fields like SSNs are encrypted at rest and every record is isolated by organization — next-of-kin kept on file — while a complete, auditable salary history backs every pay decision.

DELEGATE THE ROUTINE

AI assistants that do the people-ops grunt work

Hand the repetitive HR work — screening resumes, chasing onboarding tasks, auditing a pay run for anomalies — to AI assistants that act under the limits you set, while anything consequential still stops for a person.

Pick an assistant, describe what you need in plain language, and delegate; each one works inside your permissions and leaves its work on the record.

YOUR REAL STRUCTURE

Built on the org chart you already manage

The same structure of roles, positions, and reporting lines that runs your company is what scopes both your people and the AI — authority and access follow the chart, so an agent can never reach beyond the seat it acts for.

Navigate the live hierarchy by department, expand any manager to see who reports to them, and keep sensitive employee data walled off by organization.

THE PEOPLE RECORD

Every employee on one governed record

AI keeps the roster current and the routine updates moving under your limits, while every change to an employee record is attributable and anything sensitive stops for a person.

Search the whole workforce by name, department, or status; sensitive fields stay encrypted and scoped to the organization, with a complete history behind every record.

APPROVE EVERY OFFER

Offers that route for sign-off before they go out

Hiring runs the model end to end: AI moves candidates through the pipeline under your rules, but every offer — title, salary, start date — stops for a named approver before it reaches the candidate.

Track each offer from extended to accepted or declined, with acceptance rates and the full negotiation trail kept on the record.

APPROVE BEFORE IT PAYS

Run payroll in-house, preview before you approve

Payroll is the most consequential thing HR does, so it never runs itself: the AI prepares the run and the tax math, you see exactly what it will pay, and a person approves before a dollar moves.

Every completed run is sealed on a tamper-evident, SHA-256 hash-chained record — approved and paid amounts, period by period — so finance can prove what happened.

ROUTINE, WITH A GATE

Leave that accrues on its own and approves in one click

Balances accrue automatically and accurately under the rules you set — the routine the AI can own — while every actual request still routes to a manager to approve or decline against a shared calendar.

See pending requests, days approved, and balances by leave type at a glance, with each decision recorded.

PROVE EVERY CHANGE

Headcount, attrition, and pay equity you can prove

Leadership gets real-time, drill-down answers on headcount, turnover, compensation, and tenure — and because every action behind the numbers lands on a tamper-evident, SHA-256 hash-chained record, the analytics are evidence, not assertions.

Export the whole view for a board deck or an audit without standing up anything new.

SAME GOVERNANCE, EVERY APP

HR data stays inside your organization’s boundary — sensitive fields encrypted, parent orgs seeing the rollup while edits stay scoped — and every change lands on the record.

For HR and people teams. It runs on the same governed platform as everything else — one permission model, one verifiable record, and the same agents acting under the limits you set. Part of one governed platform: start with HR and add the rest when you’re ready, with nothing to re-integrate or re-secure.
