Software for an HR team of one

Build each role's onboarding once, and keep every employee's documents and training on one profile.

7-day free trial · No credit card required

When HR is one or two people, every question lands on you

Without one record per person, each answer means digging.

Set it up once, then it files itself

One template per role, one launch per hire, and every record keeps itself up to date.

  1. Build a plan per roleSave it as a template with a target department and job titles. AI suggests items for each phase.
  2. Launch it in one goStart the new hire from the template and set their deadlines at launch. They get one email.
  3. The record keeps itselfSigned copies file themselves, expiry dates flag on their own, and every change goes to History.

Records that answer the questions people ask

One file per person, with the signatures, the dates and every change, so each answer is one click away.

“Did he sign it?”

Every document signed in FirstHR gets a certificate page, and nobody can delete it, admins included.

“Whose license has lapsed?”

Set an expiry date on any uploaded file. When it passes, the person shows Needs Attention.

“Who changed that title?”

Every change to an employment record goes to History: the old value, the new one, who and when.

“Is this policy right for our states?”

Run the AI check on a policy before it goes out. It reads it against every state you pick.

A plan per role, saved as a template

An example plan for a Sales Representative. Save it once, and every new rep starts from it with their own deadlines.

The day-to-day is yours

With the HR role you run people, onboarding, documents, training and tasks. The plan, billing and roles stay with the Main Admin.

A note from the founder
You're the whole HR department. Every new hire, every signature, every “where's my offer letter?” lands on your desk, and half your day goes to digging through folders and old emails for the answer. I've done that job myself, and the digging is the worst part. In FirstHR you set up each role's plan once, and signatures, courses and changes land in each person's file on their own. The next question takes one click, not an afternoon.
