I can't fault CharlieHR. We're an SME, and they provide everything we need as a business without a permanent HR team. Access to advice, documentation, and support has always been brilliant. Quick t... See more

The Best HR Solution for Our Startup

For our team at Shoprocket, Charlie is the best tool for organising and monitoring employee information. Especially as a remote company, Charlie provides a great centralised space for employee information, like holidays, sick days and contact details. We can attest that, through Charlie, it was easy and quick to onboard to our team, saving time and hassle of admin work like collecting employee information. Due to the emphasis on security, our employees are reassured that their sensitive information is safe. Charlie gives us the time and freedom to focus on our business- it really is the best solution for our startup!

Excellent service, always works...

I started using Charlie for my company when I was looking for affordable HR solutions that would work for my company. After some research, I found Charlie, and I am glad I did. The user interface is beautifully designed, easy to use, and offers enough features to make my company more productive. Don't think Charlie is not the solution for you due to the free price tag, it is perfect fot any company, and it will save you and your company a lot of time.

The most beautifully designed HR system!!

Charlie HR has simply restored my faith in design for HR systems. It's easy to use, simple in sign up and looks AWESOME!!

As a free platform they've managed to capture all of the necessary needs and I know are building out more functionalities each month. This is a must system for any small to medium sized business

Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing future product releases!

Great Product

A seriously simple programme to use, especially for our expanding team of fourteen. A few niggles here and there in regards to receiving notifications for Archived employees and only having deductible holiday, but this was addressed very quickly and there are now a number of non-working day options. Even better that it is free!

Smooth and powerful

I run a business lawyer comparison website (lexoo.co.uk) and was looking for an HR solution to accommodate our growing team.

Someone recommended Charlie and we haven't looked back. It has all the features I was looking for and it's really intuitive. It just saves me a lot of time, which should be the point of software!

I'd happily pay for this solution, can't believe it is free.

Genius idea, brilliantly executed.

Can't rate Charlie HR highly enough. We run a medium sized technology business with c.40 employees and growing quickly. With new staff arriving every month the onboarding process is something that until now was time consuming and quite frankly a pain in the back-side. We dabbled with some other HR software last year which was expensive and quite poor. But then I discovered Charlie HR through a friend. Within 30 minutes of finding it, we'd circulated it to all our staff and by the end of the day we had nearly all of them signed up. It is so quick and easy to use. We had a new staff member join yesterday, the onboarding process took SIX minutes. This compared to the HOURS faffing with Google Spreadsheets and forms beforehand. Would nit hesitate recommending this to anyone.

Perfect holiday and HR system

Charlie HR is perfect for our needs. We're a mid-sized agency and needed an affordable solution for booking holidays, tracking sick days, and securely storing everyone's details. The interface is super simple to use and the support team are so responsive. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Charlie is simple, beautiful, and effective.

We switched to Charlie HR and it was the best decision we ever made. It streamlined our holiday and time off requests as well as gave each department correct insight to manage their internal calendars more effectively. As a director of a small business, the cost and features made it unbeatable. I highly recommend Charlie.

Life Saver

CharlieHR is great, the team is extremely responsive and dedicating to the platforms current and on-going success.

It has kept me from having multiple Google Docs and given our company a stronger team experience.
