HR teams today are expected to do more than ever—manage recruitment, onboarding, time-off tracking, performance reviews, and internal communication—all while ensuring a smooth employee experience. But juggling these processes across spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected tools can be a nightmare.

That’s where Atwork comes in.

With Atwork’s no-code HR system, powered by AI agents and workflow automation, you can centralize and simplify all your HR operations in one place—no technical knowledge required.

Here’s how to streamline every stage of the employee journey using Atwork.

🔹 1. Centralize Employee Records

Say goodbye to scattered spreadsheets and documents.

With Atwork, you can create a custom Employee Database Sheet to store everything in one place.

Key fields to include:

  • Full Name
  • Email & Phone
  • Position & Department
  • Start Date
  • Manager
  • Employment Status (e.g. probation, active, resigned)
  • Contract/Document links
  • Last Performance Review Date

Use filters and views to group employees by department, manager, or location instantly.

💡 AI Boost: Let Formia, your AI form architect, generate the sheet based on a simple prompt:

“Create an HR employee sheet with personal info, job title, and review dates.”

🔹 2. Automate Onboarding Processes

A smooth onboarding experience is key to long-term retention—and Atwork makes it effortless.

Create an onboarding workflow that includes:

  • A public onboarding form for collecting employee info
  • Automatic creation of employee records
  • Triggered welcome email and Slack message
  • Task assignments for IT, HR, and the manager (e.g. “Create email account”, “Schedule intro meeting”)

⚡ All of this can be done using Atwork’s built-in workflows or by integrating with Make to connect with external tools like Google Workspace, Slack, or Trello.

🔹 3. Track Time-Off and Leave Requests

Forget manual approvals in email threads.

With Atwork, you can:

  • Build a Time-Off Request Form
  • Automatically log submissions in a “Leave Tracker” sheet
  • Route requests to managers for approval
  • Send notifications when requests are approved or denied
  • Calculate total used leave vs remaining quota using formulas or AI

🗓 Add a calendar view to visually track absences across the team.

🔹 4. Manage Recruitment Pipelines

Hiring doesn’t have to be messy.

Use Atwork to build a Recruitment Tracker with stages like:

  • Applied
  • Screened
  • Interviewed
  • Offer Sent
  • Hired / Rejected

You can:

  • Link applicants to open job positions
  • Attach CVs or interview notes
  • Assign interview tasks to hiring managers
  • Automate status updates and reminders

🎯 Bonus: Connect Atwork to job boards or application forms using Make, and auto-import candidate data directly.

🔹 5. Run Performance Reviews Smoothly

Create a repeatable structure for employee evaluations.

Use Atwork to:

  • Create a Review Cycle Sheet
  • Link reviews to employee records
  • Include fields for reviewer feedback, ratings, goals, and next steps
  • Schedule notifications for due dates
  • Track review progress and completion status

Let AI agent Brian analyze review data and give you insights on team strengths and growth areas.

🔹 6. Document Sharing and Policy Acknowledgement

Keep HR documents accessible and track who has seen them.

  • Upload files (PDFs, policies, contracts) into document libraries
  • Share documents with employees via linked forms or sheets
  • Ask employees to acknowledge policy updates through forms
  • Use Atwork’s automation to record who viewed/accepted policies

🔹 7. Analyze HR Data with AI

Use dashboards and charts to track:

  • Headcount growth
  • Turnover rate
  • Department distribution
  • Time-to-hire
  • Time-off trends

Or simply ask Brian, your AI analyst agent:

“What’s the average time-to-hire for marketing roles this year?”
“Which departments had the highest turnover?”
