What is OrangeHRM?

OrangeHRM is a human resource management system (HRMS) for organizations that want core HR, leave, time, recruitment, and performance tools, with a free open-source edition. It began as an open-source project and the Starter edition remains free and self-hostable. The paid Advanced edition adds modules and is priced per employee per month.

Key features of OrangeHRM

• HR administration: employee records and HR administration in the Starter edition.
• Leave and time: leave management and time tracking.
• Recruitment: manage vacancies and candidates.
• Performance management: performance reviews and goals.
• Reporting and analytics: built-in reports on HR data.
• Mobile app: included in the Starter edition.
• Advanced modules: onboarding, roster, request desk, career development, training, surveys, employee voice, and discipline.
• Citra AI: AI assistant included in the Advanced edition.

How OrangeHRM works

Organizations either self-host the open-source Starter edition or subscribe to the Advanced edition, selecting modules a la carte. HR teams maintain employee records and run leave, recruitment, and performance processes in one system. A payroll connector and an API and ESB option link the system to payroll and other applications.

Who uses OrangeHRM?

OrangeHRM suits organizations that want a free starting point and the option to self-host, as well as mid-sized companies that need modular HR. IT teams comfortable running software can use the open-source edition. Rostero, a separate product, covers employee scheduling and attendance.

OrangeHRM pricing

The Starter edition is free and open source. The Advanced edition has a 30-day free trial with no commitment and is priced per employee per month with modules selected a la carte, but its prices are not published; a quote comes after filling out the pricing form.
