It simplifies every aspect of human resources management, from recruitment and onboarding to employee administration, performance, and payroll, through a suite of connected, intuitive, and secure solutions built for efficiency and compliance. The ecosystem includes four complementary solutions that create a seamless HR experience: Folks HRIS centralizes all employee data in one place, so HR teams can manage records, time off, documents, compliance, and analytics with ease. Folks Performance drives engagement and development through continuous feedback, goal setting, and performance reviews that align individual growth with organizational objectives. Folks ATS is a modern applicant tracking system that streamlines recruitment from job posting to hire. Integrated with LinkedIn, Indeed, and other leading job boards, it helps organizations attract and evaluate top talent efficiently while ensuring a smooth flow of data into Folks HRIS. Folks Payroll is Folks' own payroll software, built for Canadian businesses and seamlessly connected to the rest of the ecosystem. It also offers reliable integrations with major Canadian payroll systems, giving organizations the flexibility to run payroll directly within Folks or sync data with their existing provider, while keeping HR and pay information accurate and consistent. Why Canadian SMBs choose Folks HR Built specifically for Canadian SMBs, Folks HR supports bilingual (English and French) workplaces and aligns with provincial employment standards. The platform is SOC 2 compliant, meeting the highest standards of data security, privacy, and reliability. Unlike enterprise HR suites built for large, complex organizations, Folks HR is designed to be approachable and quick to implement, giving growing teams the functionality they need without the cost, complexity, or long onboarding cycles. And unlike US-based tools retrofitted for the Canadian market, Folks is built around Canadian compliance realities and bilingual requirements from the ground up. Local support and transparent pricing Folks HR is backed by a responsive, Canada-based support team that understands the local HR landscape. Combined with honest, transparent pricing, businesses always know what they are paying for, with no hidden fees or surprises. Built to grow with you By connecting every stage of the employee lifecycle, Folks HR helps organizations reduce administrative work, improve compliance, and deliver a better employee experience. With over 30 integrated features and the flexibility to scale, Folks HR gives Canadian businesses everything they need to manage their people confidently as they grow. ![Folks HR](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/image/large_detail/large_detail_6df55bfa0986de8944256ca687029826/folks-hr.png "Folks HR") Folks HR Discussions Most CommentedMost HelpfulCommon QuestionsNewest Showing **1** discussion ![Pinned by G2 as a common question](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pinned by G2 as a common question") G2 Pinned by G2 as a common question • about 3 years ago More Options - Share [![linkedin](/assets/social-logos/linkedin-afe65e46604a5bd5105ab9c856116204040b6b3f2b2d42562fc8071ca0c48ca0.svg "linkedin")](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&summary=What+is+Folks+HR+used+for%3F&title=What+is+Folks+HR+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-folks-hr-used-for) [![twitter](/assets/social-logos/twitter-61aaec80434c71387b8f7326e480592eae71c0a65afd051d66fce9b75a9bf417.svg "twitter")](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=What+is+Folks+HR+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-folks-hr-used-for&via=G2dotcom) [![facebook](/assets/social-logos/facebook-350d0b410d6b10debcf893050e803a8633d53561aa42807b087b8daf9be3668f.svg "facebook")](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-folks-hr-used-for) [![gmail](/assets/social-logos/gmail-6db42f21e7c254fae201b112bef0dd15d25223a5cbb32691ce80eab43761eadf.svg "gmail")](https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=&su=What+is+Folks+HR+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-folks-hr-used-for%0aWhat+is+Folks+HR+used+for%3F) [![mail](/assets/social-logos/mail-d55c53b04bf49872e40cd2443b85a99caa23394e6cf154ae32a9d08377c15d86.svg "mail")](mailto:?subject=What+is+Folks+HR+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-folks-hr-used-for%0aWhat+is+Folks+HR+used+for%3F) - Copy link - [ ## What is Folks HR used for? ](/discussions/what-is-folks-hr-used-for) What is Folks HR used for?
