HR for startups
We onboard your new employees
Pre-board and onboard employees, set goals, and run meaningful performance reviews in one place — built and hosted in the EU.
Onboard, develop, and retain your people
We give growing teams everything they need to run great onboarding, track goals, and gather meaningful feedback.
Their experience starts before day one
First impressions shape retention. Send new employees a personalised invite weeks before their start date and give them early access to your culture, team, and processes — so they arrive confident, not confused.
Send invitations weeks before the start date
Share company culture, team info, and role expectations
Assign an onboarding buddy to ease the transition
Set expectations. Drive growth.
Employees who see a path forward stay longer. Help your team set clear goals, log progress, and connect their work to something bigger — together with their manager.
Set personal, team, or manager-shared goals
Log progress with timestamped updates
Tie goals to feedback for a complete growth picture
Build a culture of growth
Regular feedback prevents surprises at review time and helps people feel genuinely valued. Make it easy to give and receive structured, attributed input, from individual requests to multi-person peer feedback rounds.
Request feedback from any colleague in seconds
Send batch requests to multiple reviewers at once
Link feedback to goals for targeted insight
One source of truth
No more onboarding docs buried in email threads or scattered across drives. Keep your most important knowledge in one place, always current, easy to find, and visible to the right people.
Create and publish docs for any role or team
Control who sees what with per-document visibility
New employees get access before their first day
Reviews that actually mean something
Stop scrambling for data before review season. Goals and feedback are automatically brought together into structured evaluation periods — so every conversation is fair, consistent, and backed by evidence.
