HR Management System

Designed and built a custom HR management system for a rapidly growing company that had outgrown their spreadsheet-based processes. The solution unified employee data management, streamlined the onboarding process, automated performance reviews, and integrated with payroll systems.

The Challenge

The client had grown from 20 to 150 employees in 18 months and was struggling with fragmented HR processes spread across spreadsheets, email, and paper forms. This was causing delays in onboarding, inconsistent record-keeping, and making compliance reporting difficult. They needed a centralized system that could scale with continued growth while maintaining data security and compliance with labor regulations.

The Solution

I developed a full-stack HR platform using Angular for the frontend and Express.js for the backend, with PostgreSQL as the primary database. The system featured role-based access control, digital document signing, automated workflow processes for approvals, customizable performance review templates, time-off tracking with calendar integration, and comprehensive reporting functions. It also included secure document storage for employee files and integration with their existing payroll provider via API.

The Results

The new system reduced onboarding time from 2 days to 4 hours per employee. HR staff productivity increased by 60% due to automation of routine tasks. Employee satisfaction with HR processes improved by 45% according to internal surveys. The company successfully passed an audit of their HR practices with no findings, and the system easily accommodated their continued growth to 250 employees within the next year without requiring significant modifications.
