Charlie is an online HR software for SME's. We believe that building a business is hard, so running one shouldn't be. When you’re working hard to bring your ideas to life, your first priority should be your team, not your admin. We created CharlieHR to solve the challenges that we faced while starting our own businesses.

I don't agree with the tagline. Too many products being posted with unquantifiable claims. I don't know why this can be judged to be "The best free HR platform", I've used other free HR platforms before in the past which I really liked.
Rob O'Donovan
@_jacksmith Hey Jack! Appreciate the feedback. I can't speak for @bramk on the tagline! Which free HR platforms have you used that you like? Have you tried CharlieHR yet?
Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
We’ve been using CharlieHR to create a place for the freelancers we’re working with and recently used it to onboard our first employee! Pretty cool tool that offers a lot of features for free. @rjodonovan can tell you more!
Rich Waldron
Super slick HR platform, our team love it - we've begun building on top of it within tray to show upcoming holidays team-wide within Slack.
Rob O'Donovan
@richwaldron Good man! Love this Rich, thanks. 👍

We've been using Charlie at GoSquared for months and it's approximately 100x better than not using Charlie. Before this we were using spreadsheets and notes and loads of calendars for HR and other related team stuff. SUCH a handy tool, and the team are awesome too.
Rob O'Donovan
@jamesjgill Big thanks James. We're hardcore fans of GoSquared too so blushes all round 😊
Murat Mutlu
@jamesjgill Agree with your stat!

I've briefly met Ben, he seemed super smart and I thought the company’s vision to become the OS for your business was fantastically ambitious, best of luck!
Rob O'Donovan
@catchpowle Nice one Jon, thanks! Really appreciate it.

How does CharlieHR and something like Zenefits or Gusto work together or can they coexist? I am sure there is crossover on some features, right? Curious. Thanks.
Rob O'Donovan
@paisano Zenefits and Gusto are only available in the US right now. There's a lot of crossover, yes, but I think we'll increasingly find that becomes less the case over the coming months 😊
Elizabeth
Very good-looking product - running it by our Director of Ops for feedback asap. @JoinCharlie @bramk
Rob O'Donovan
@elizabethhunker @joincharlie @bramk Awesome! Let us know if we can do anything to help or answer any questions.

@rjodonovan we use Charlie HR for @DiscountIF. It's really easy to use!! Looking forward to see more flexiblity in the tool to use in countries outside of the UK (with different payroll systems etc). Do you have any plans for that?
Rob O'Donovan
@thewhizkids @discountif Thanks Lewis! We're working on this right now. We've lots of customers abroad and are keen to make sure it's as good for those guys as it is the UK. Watch this space! 👌
Lewis Holland
@rjodonovan @discountif Awesome, would be great to have Malta (It's a good test location as it's similar to the UK and there are other great startups like Hotjar based here too). Keep up the good work with you & your team!
Rob O'Donovan
@thewhizkids @discountif Malta definitely on the list Lewis! Thanks for the feedback and support.

Nidhima Kohli
Great product, great service and great people. How did we not find this before???!
Rob O'Donovan
@nidhimakohli because clearly we haven't cracked how to be good at marketing yet!!! But glad the rest suffices, thanks so much for comment Nidhima 😊
Chris Underdown
Woop woop! I've been using CharlieHR for sometime, I'm surprised it hasn't already been hunted to be honest. Great product 😊
Rob O'Donovan
@chrisunderdown Cheers Chris, much appreciated and glad you like the product! 👌
Gareth K Thomas
I've been using this for a while and I'm very keen to switch over to them for my businesses. The product is great, and the team are very keen to listen to users. They seem genuinely interested in solving real problems, which sounds simple but is actually quite refreshing! Best of luck to you all. Great to see you on PH.
Tom Carrington Smith
@garethkthomas Thanks Gareth! If you need a hand switching just drop us an email - team@charliehr.com 👊
Ben Lambert
I've been using Charlie HR for our current and new start up. It's great for organising and on boarding new employees. Definitely worth trying.
Rob O'Donovan
@benjameslambert awesome stuff and great to hear Ben, thanks ✌️
