Release 11NEW

Trust and access

PapaHR is ready for companies where IT has rules: sign-in with the work account, an open API, a log of who did what, and documents under your own brand.

Trust and access — PapaHR

What came out

  • 🔑
    Sign-in with the work account Pro

    Employees sign in with the account of their work email — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or Okta, OneLogin and others by SAML. No new passwords; a person who leaves loses access at once.

  • 🔌
    Open API and webhooks Pro

    Connect PapaHR to your other programs: employees, departments, time off, the timesheet, vacancies and candidates. HR creates a key in three questions, a developer gets the documentation.

    Open →
  • 🕵️
    Log of actions

    Who opened salaries, changed pay, exported data to Excel, changed access or deleted something. An export of salaries at night or from a new device is marked “unusual”.

  • 🏢
    Company profile and logo

    The logo and the legal name go by themselves into HR documents, signature pages, vacancies and the careers page.

  • ⚙️
    Settings in one place

    “My account” for everyone — notifications, Telegram, password, devices, language and theme; “Company” — everything the owner sets up, on one page.

  • 🎁
    Pro for 14 days for free

    A company on Free turns on Pro with one button, no card. Once more for 14 days — or back to Free, the data stays.

    Open →
  • ⭐
    Review on facts Pro

    Each goal and competency in a review gets the facts of the period: cases, key results, 1:1 agreements, thanks. A criterion without facts is marked as a gap in the data.

  • 🤝
    Small things that save time

    An employee sets their own photo, colleagues support ideas with 👍, duplicate candidates merge in one click, letters to candidates come in the name of your company.

⏱

Release 10

Clock-in and the offer

Who is at work today — without calls and spreadsheets. And the offer to a candidate becomes a record with terms, a check and a personal letter.

Clock-in and the offer — PapaHR

What came out

  • ⏱
    Clock-in: “Start the day”

    An employee marks the start, a break and the end of the day with one button in PapaHR or in Telegram. HR sees on the “Today” tab who is at work, who is late and who has not marked yet. No geolocation and no photos — off by default.

  • ✉️
    The offer as a record Pro

    Salary, start date, probation and terms. PapaHR warns if the salary is above the range of the vacancy; the AI writes a personal letter; the answer of the candidate is recorded.

  • 🧭
    Improvement plan (PIP) with the AI Pro

    A PIP draft only on recorded facts: SMART goals, support, five meetings by dates. No facts of low results — no plan.

  • 🤝
    Mentor matching Pro

    Employees offer themselves as mentors in their cabinet; HR picks a pair, PapaHR shows who fits and why.

  • 🙋
    Drafts of answers to employees

    The draft shows which knowledge base articles it is based on. Sensitive requests — conflicts, health, discrimination — go to a person, not to the AI.

  • 🧰
    10 free tools on the site

    The turnover calculator, an offer letter, a job ad check, an interview scorecard, a RACI matrix, KPIs, a 30-60-90 plan and more — without signing up.

    Open →

  • 🙏
    Whom to thank

    PapaHR finds reasons to thank in the records — a goal done, a newcomer helped. The AI suggests a draft, a person sends it.

  • 📣
    The feed for departments

    News and polls for chosen departments or only for managers; a poll can show who answered what.

  • 🏷
    Companies on the home page

    A line of logos of companies whose people already work in PapaHR.

✨

Release 8

AI for HR

The AI writes drafts in every section, and the company decides what data goes to it. Decisions about people are always made by people. Works with the company’s own key of Anthropic or OpenAI — you pay the provider directly, without a markup.

AI for HR — PapaHR

What came out

  • 🛡
    The company decides what goes to the AI

    Switches for salaries, phones, emails and documents — off by default. The “What the AI sees” screen shows the data before it is sent. Names of employees are not sent.
