Everything You Need to Get Started with HR
In a company comprised of a lot of employees, human resource management has always been an issue but thanks to OrangeHRM, managing the employee's leave application as well as other human resource concerns has never been so easy. Our HR Staff finds OrangeHRM easy to use and for us who maintains the software, simple to understand and can easily be modified to our liking. We've been using OrangeHRM for the past 4 years now and will still continue to do so in the next coming years.
At the University at Albany we have an MBA concentration in Human Resource Information Systems. Crucial to the program is the ability for our students to gain hands on experience with a fully functional HRIS. The challenge has been gaining access to such a system in a cost effective manner. We recently decided to use OrangeHRM in our program and we have not been disappointed. From a visit by their CEO who discussed the history and goals of Orange HRM to their willingness to provide online training to students, OrangeHRM has given us access to not only the software, but also to the ideas and motivations behind its design. Students find the interface intuitive and easy to use. This means that I can spend more time teaching the students about the broader data design and capture issues facing HR as they design and implement an HRIS and less time teaching the students to use the software.
As part of our long term strategy to combine the impressive capabilities of open source with a fresh, cost-effective approach to IT, Johnny Rockets immediately recognized the unique possibilities that OrangeHRM offers: A modern HRIS system which is also open source and free for life, providing extensibility, maintainability and the ability to truly recognize a significant ROI. This has afforded us the capability of integrating open source Human Resource Management software easily into our existing infrastructure, leveraging many other previous efforts to streamline our business processes, and maximize employee efficiency; all while not giving up any expected modern HRIS features.
Our creative agency has been looking for a highly professional open-source software for our HRMS requirements and we came across the OrangeHRM, which was just the package we've been looking for to supply our professional HR team with tools they need. Its ease of use and functionality reaches our expectations and shows creativity in design and solutions in a similar way as we do projects for our clients. OrangeHRM is a great solution for any human resources department and I can surely recommend it to any kind of business.

The recruiting team could be made up of one or many, it doesn't matter. What does matter is the overall experience these applicants have. It's the springboard to having a great culture and finding the right fit for your company. Don’t try to build a flawless culture without the right tools.
The importance of getting time tracking right could literally save you and your team hours each week. No longer will you need to track down every person that forgot to clock in or out on a random Tuesday. With OrangeHRM the system is there to help everyone succeed.
