About CiviHR
CiviHR is an open-source human resource management solution built as an extension of CiviCRM, specifically designed for non-profit organisations.
CiviHR is an open-source human resource management solution built as an extension of CiviCRM, specifically designed for non-profit organisations. It enables charities and mission-driven entities to manage staff and volunteers efficiently within the familiar CiviCRM ecosystem. By leveraging open-source technology, CiviHR aims to provide an affordable alternative to traditional HR systems, particularly for organisations operating with limited budgets and complex workforce structures that include part-time staff and volunteers. The software offers core HR functionalities such as staff profile management, leave tracking, workflows, reporting, and a self-service portal. Its integration with CiviCRM allows organisations to centralise HR data alongside constituent management. However, the extension is currently marked as unsupported and has no listed releases, which may limit long-term reliability and updates. Despite this, CiviHR remains a functional solution for nonprofits already embedded in the CiviCRM environment seeking a cost-effective HR management add-on.
