Open-Source Human Resources Software (HR)
Human resources software brings employee data together and supports recurring processes in HR administration. These include job applications, absence requests, and tasks when employees join or leave.
Typical users include HR departments and smaller companies that want to manage employee data and requests together. Whether an application also covers payroll for a specific country must be checked separately.
