Cledara’s Take

CharlieHR is a well-regarded Employee Management tool, suited to the needs of smaller businesses. It helps teams automate core HR functions—from onboarding to payroll, performance management to holiday management—via a friendly interface. CharlieHR really stands out for companies that aren’t yet big enough to have a whole team dedicated to People Operations, since there’s an HR-advice-on-demand feature, which allows you to pose your HR questions to an expert. As Employee Management platforms go, it’s less feature-rich than bigger competitors, but if you’re a small company that values simplicity and advice, CharlieHR would be a great choice.

What is CharlieHR used for?

We analyzed CharlieHR’s reviews and have drawn out some key use cases.

Use cases

Managing remote teams

Streamlines onboarding, offboarding, and day-to-day people operations for employees at remote companies.

HR advice and support

Offers users a dedicated helpline for users to speak with HR experts, for advice on any people-related challenges the company might face.

Task automation

Improves operational efficiency by automating routine HR tasks, such as managing time-off and launching employee engagement surveys.

Main features

  • One-click employee onboarding
    Simplifies the process of integrating new employees into the team. Onboarding employees enter a self-service workflow that asks them to submit their own details, and work through training at their pace.

    Facilitates structured feedback and development. Easily schedule recurring performance meetings with your team, and use templates for reviews like probation check-ins, monthly 1:1s, and exit interviews.
  • Comprehensive policies and expert guidance
    Speak to industry-leading HR experts using phone, email, or live chat. With this, you can ensure your people operations are in line with best practices and local laws, without making a full-time hire.
  • Enhanced perks and benefits management
    Offers attractive perks to boost employee satisfaction, at no extra cost. CharlieHR partners with companies to offer deals and discounts for users’ employees.
