For businesses

Built for growing businesses.

You do not need a large HR department to run people properly. Find the team below that looks like yours, and see how each kind of business handles hiring, onboarding and pay.

Startups Professional services Retail and hospitality Creative SMEs
Growing startups (5 to 30 staff)

Build people processes early instead of repairing spreadsheets later. Clean records, simple checklists, and payroll that keeps up as you hire.

UsuallyOffers agreed on WhatsApp, no single staff list, and a first payroll done in a panic.

  • One employee record from the very first hire
  • Accepted offers start onboarding on their own
  • Payroll that keeps up as the team grows
How hiring works
Professional services

Consulting, legal, accounting, agencies. Keep hiring, documents and pay organised in a way a client or auditor would accept.

UsuallyCVs buried in email, interview feedback that vanished, payroll inputs rebuilt every month.

  • Structured pipeline with feedback beside the candidate
  • Employees supply their own documents and details
  • Payroll reuses the data you already verified
How onboarding works
Retail and hospitality

Shops, restaurants, hotels, outlets. Manage frontline teams with steady turnover without drowning in sheets.

UsuallyConstant hiring, missing bank details, and pay errors found too late.

  • Quick job posts with applications in one pipeline
  • Self-service onboarding for bank and personal details
  • Payroll flags anything missing before you lock it
How payroll works
Creative businesses

Studios, media, tech, design. Spend less of the week chasing admin and more of it doing the work clients pay for.

UsuallyThe founder is the HR department, staff data is scattered, payslips go out late.

  • Lightweight setup with no HR team needed
  • Employees finish their own onboarding checklists
  • Payslips produced the moment a run is locked
How the product works
SMEs (10 to 100 staff)

Trading, manufacturing, logistics, schools. A proper people system without enterprise software or an enterprise rollout. Branches and roles stay under one roof, and every change keeps a name and a time attached to it.

UsuallyA spreadsheet next to a filing cabinet, uncertainty about PAYE, pension and NHF, and no trail when someone asks who approved what.

  • Connected hire to pay flow on a single employee record
  • Role-based access so people see only what they need
  • Payroll exports and history ready for compliance
How payroll works

Everyone has a part

HR shouldn't have to do everything.

People work moves faster when each person handles the piece that already belongs to them, instead of everything waiting on one overloaded inbox.

Owner / CEO

See what is happening with your people and approve the few things that genuinely need you.

HR / Admin

Coordinate hiring, onboarding, payroll and the day-to-day people work from one screen.

Managers

Handle the approvals, leave requests and information that belong with your own team.

Employees

Complete your own onboarding, keep your details current, and open your payslips when they land.

Everyone gets a role in the process, without everyone getting access to everything.

Business FAQ

Questions owners ask us.

Usually the owner or an admin person. Managers approve what belongs to their team, and employees handle their own onboarding and payslips. No dedicated HR team is required.
Yes. Hiring, onboarding, payroll and leave all work from the same employee record, so you can begin wherever the pressure is and use the rest when you are ready. Nothing has to be set up twice.
Yes. Add your staff, check that the details are correct, and start your next run from those profiles. The run history builds from there.
Access is controlled by role, so people only see what their job requires, and payroll permissions are separate from general employee access. Sensitive actions are recorded in the audit history. Read how data is handled.
No. Employees work from simple links in a browser for onboarding and payslips, managers approve what is waiting for them, and owners see a short list of what needs attention. There is nothing to install.
