• Recruitment and applicant tracking
• Onboarding

HR processes are time consuming when performed manually and storing paper-based employee data has implications for efficiency and security.
An automated HR system provides a powerful solution for everyday HR processes, cutting the time spent on HR admin. Breathe’s user-friendly HR software maximises employee engagement and improves operational efficiency.
Using a seamless system to manage HR saves time and gives leaders, HR professionals and managers instant access to the rich data required to make strategic business decisions. Without an automated HR system, HR professionals spend nearly half of their daily working hours performing tedious administrative processes.
Using an automated HR Management System to streamline human resources activities gives HR professionals more time to spend on other HR priorities, such as recruitment, training, development and employee engagement, which all have a positive impact on attracting and retaining talent and improving engagement and productivity.
A HRMS also keeps rich employee data at your fingertips, enabling you to plan ahead and make strategic decisions quickly.
