HR management is a challenge for all companies, especially startups. But the time, resources, and labor that goes into HR management can often be redistributed to improve a company’s efficiency and reduce turnover.
While a more established company might have spare time or employee resources they can use for completing HR tasks, startups are low on both. Many startups consist of a single HR manager that also shuffles between other jobs. While hiring one can save time and money somehow, doing so often results in a lack of focus and undivided attention paid to more frequent HR issues.
Luckily, there are plenty of HR management tools that can solve your administrative problems. These tools help run essential processes like recruiting new employees, production supervision, and other daily HR concerns.

But how do you pick the tool that works best for you? As a startup, you might not have extra funds to purchase the latest version of the trendiest technology. But that doesn’t mean you have to skimp on quality.
To help make your difficult decision a little bit easier, here is a list of the top 5 HR management tools that can push your startup business to the next level.
Top 5 Hr Management Tools For Startups
Get Working
Making the transition back to the office amid COVID-19 will be challenging for most companies. No employers want to put their employees at risk, and having them return to work too hastily could be catastrophic. So, it’s definitely worth using a software tool to assist employers with management and administration as offices reopen.
Get Working is a workspace management software that allows employees to book a space in advance, choosing the location and time they want to be in the office.

Before workers arrive, they must complete a symptom self-assessment through the app to verify that they’ve been cleared to come into the building. Once people enter the office, there’s a detailed record of who was in on each day, so contact tracing is made accessible in the event of an outbreak. But all personal information remains private to employees and stored on their devices.
The software also lets users monitor office capacity, ensuring that local guidelines and social distancing measures get adhered to during the pandemic by limiting the number of people in a certain branch, a particular building, or even on a specific floor.
Zoho People
Another exceptional HR management software, Zoho People, is free for up to five employees. It has an array of features—allowing users to manage attendance, plan shifts, track employee vacations and leaves, organize billing, and work well at organizations of all sizes.
The hourly billing tracking feature helps make it easy to track billable hours for contract workers or hourly employees, and even allows users to access a self-service portal to monitor it themselves. The software can be paired with Zoho Books, an accounting software made by the company with a similarly low entry-level cost.
Namely
Namely is an all-inclusive software that keeps records of employee data, payroll, tracked hours, performance reviews, incentives, and benefits. This web-based platform is especially useful for budding businesses that want to engage employees. It focuses on making onboarding easy and managing existing talent and employee feedback.
The software uses social media feed reports to accumulate organization statistics. Namely is customizable and adaptable and includes 24/7 access to a Namely account manager for business clients. It is user-friendly and budget-friendly, too, which is especially important for startup businesses.
The HR software is currently used by top brands around the globe, including popular video-hosting site Vimeo.
BambooHR
BambooHR is an incredibly useful software for HR management and operations. The cloud-based software helps management maintain employee documents, job history, and salary records, while also allowing employees to access company documents, update their data, and request vacations or leaves.
It is an incredibly functional software, especially when you’re looking to transition from a small startup to a company hiring additional employees. BambooHR is ideal for the hiring process: You can use the tool to publish job openings, and assigned hiring managers can view job applications and carry on the hiring process through the tool itself. There isn’t a feature enabling payroll management yet, but the device does allow additional third-party extensions to do so.
The system can be accessed from mobile devices (both iOS and Android), and also allows other third-party apps for eSignatures, performance management, and other capabilities.
Zenefits
If you are looking for HR management software for a medium-sized company, Zenefits is your best pick. It comes with an assortment of highly functional tools like time tracking, benefits information, payroll management, and other administrative tasks.
It also helps manage employee paperwork and data, and even conduct background checks on the people you are looking to hire. This feature saves a lot of time, eliminating the need to track onboardings manually.
Additionally, Zenefits is compatible with a variety of extension apps. The software is priced according to the number of employees (i.e., the cost is per person).
When choosing the right HR or workspace management tool, there are lots of things to consider. But this list should help guide you in the right direction, whether you’re transitioning back into the office or planning for the future.
