What CharlieHR is
CharlieHR is web-based HR software for keeping employee records, handling time off and onboarding, and managing performance. These functions cover several core employee-management tasks, from joining a team to leave administration and performance processes. The service does not include time tracking and has no mobile apps. It is paid, with no free plan and a 7-day trial. Pricing is organized by team size: the Charlie plan ranges from £21 a month for 1–4 team members to £754 a month for 250+ team members. For the 1–4 member tier, the displayed £5 price applies only for the first six months; billing is £21 thereafter. Charlie Recruit is a £55 a month add-on for teams of 1–14, and it must be bought alongside a Charlie subscription. CharlieHR is made by a company founded in 2016 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
