DocuWare For HR
Your HR team is spending too much time on paperwork.
Recruitment. Onboarding. Training records. Leave requests. Performance reviews. At every stage of the employee lifecycle, there are documents to prepare, chase, file, and find again.
DocuWare replaces the paper, the email chains, and the shared drive chaos with a single, automated system that handles HR administration from first application to final offboarding.
How DocuWare supports your HR team
Applicant tracking and recruitment
Applications captured automatically from email, job boards, and web forms. Indexed by role, candidate name, and stage. Every CV, cover letter, and interview note is stored in one searchable place - no lost applications, no manual sorting.
Digital onboarding
Employment contracts, handbooks, and compliance documents distributed and signed digitally the moment an offer is accepted. New starter documents - ID, bank details, right to work - captured and stored automatically. The employee record is populated from day one.
Employee record management
A secure, centralised store for every employee document. Accessible by authorised users only, with role-based permissions ensuring the right people see the right records. Every document is retrievable in seconds.
Training and certification renewals
DocuWare monitors expiry dates on training records, certifications, and DBS checks automatically - and notifies the relevant person before anything lapses. No spreadsheet. No missed renewals.
Leave management
Leave requests submitted digitally, routed to the line manager for approval, and automatically recorded in the employee record when approved. HR has real-time visibility of team availability at all times.
GDPR-compliant document retention
Configurable retention policies ensure candidate and employee data is held only as long as required - and deleted automatically when the retention period expires.
Already Using HR Software?
The most common question we hear from HR teams is this: we already have an HR system. Why would we need DocuWare too?
It is a fair question. The answer is that most HR software handles workflows - absence management, performance reviews, payslips. What it typically cannot do is manage the documents that sit around those workflows.
DocuWare fills that gap. It works alongside your existing HRIS, handling the document capture, storage, and retrieval that your current system does not. Alternatively, for organisations where an existing HR system is underperforming or underused, DocuWare can replace it entirely.
Either way, the conversation starts with understanding what your current setup can and cannot do - and building from there.
