Your Whole HR Department, Running in the Cloud

Most small businesses run HR across spreadsheets, email threads and three or four apps that never talk to each other. Here is how Updoot brings every HR tool into one place.

eNPS Employee Surveys

Ask anonymously, score it, then act on what you hear.

Anonymous eNPS survey in Updoot cloud HR software with a 0 to 10 scale

Send anonymous employee net promoter score surveys so you get honest answers about how people feel about working for you. The score lands on your dashboard next to the rest of your business metrics, with the promoter, passive and detractor split shown instead of a single number.

Compare results quarter over quarter to see whether your retention work actually moved the score, then turn the feedback into projects your team owns and tracks to completion.

See everything the survey tool does on the eNPS survey software page.

Applicant Tracking and Hiring

AI resume screening, candidate scorecards and offers in one hiring pipeline.

Upload a stack of resumes and let AI parse them, then compare candidates with AI-built scorecards that summarize each applicant against the role. Interview questions stay consistent by position, and every candidate's status updates as they move through screening, interviews and offers.

Send interview requests, offer letters and welcome emails from the same place. When someone accepts, their details carry into their employee record, so nobody types the same information twice.

Job Description Library

Every role defined once and reused from posting to onboarding.

Job description library in Updoot cloud HR software showing stored role descriptions

Store every job description in one searchable library instead of old documents scattered across drives. Each description follows the same structure, so roles are easy to compare, update and reuse when responsibilities change.

The same description powers the job posting, the hiring scorecard and new hire onboarding, so expectations stay consistent from the first interview to the first day.

See how job description software works in Updoot.

PTO Tracking and Time Off

Five PTO types, one-click approvals and balances that flow into payroll.

Track personal, sick, vacation, holiday and custom time off, each with its own balance and history. Add categories like bereavement, FMLA or jury duty so they never get lumped into another balance.

Requests reach the admin instantly and are approved or denied in one click. Assign a full year of company holidays at once, and PTO ties to salary rates and multipliers on the payroll report.

See all the options on the PTO software page.

Exit Interviews

Learn why people leave, while you can still fix it.

Exit interview questions in Updoot with editable labels and add section button

Every employee row has its own exit interview, with start date and employment history pulled in automatically. Rename any question to match how your company asks it, and the setup saves as the template for the next departure.

Schedule the interview and it appears on the calendar for both the admin and the employee. Print a clean copy for the personnel file or copy it to Excel in one click.

Over time, completed interviews build a real record of why people leave, which pairs with your eNPS results to show where retention work is needed. Read more about exit interview software.

Performance Reviews, Org Charts and the Employee Vault

Included in the same login, and connected to everything above.

Updoot also runs custom performance reviews, improvement plans, scorecards, an org chart builder, the employee self-service hub and the HR employee vault. New hires from applicant tracking land straight in the vault, and their PTO, reviews and exit interview all live on one record. See the full breakdown on the HR and performance management software page.

What Makes HR Software Cloud Based, and Why It Matters for a Small Business

Cloud based HR software runs on secure servers online and opens in a web browser, instead of living on one office computer or a server you have to maintain. That means there is nothing to install, updates happen automatically, and the people who need HR information can reach it from wherever they work, whether that is the office, a job site or home.

For a small business, the bigger win is that everything sits in one connected system. When a candidate is hired, their details flow into their employee record. That record holds their PTO, their job description, their reviews and, if they ever leave, their exit interview. Survey results sit next to all of it, so you can see whether the changes you make actually improve how people feel about working for you.
