HR and office managers at small companies (15 to 50 people)

Each role has its own page, and interviews are booked when everyone is free. Offer letters are signed online, and the office's requests come in on a form.

The company works in one Magpie team. You choose which areas each person uses.

Each role has its own page, and interviews are booked when everyone is free.

Hiring publishes each role on your job board, with its own application form. Applicants move through the stages you set for the role.

Interviewers rate each candidate on a scorecard before they see each other's. Scheduling offers the times when every interviewer is free.

Kestrel & Finch’s job page for an office coordinator: the role’s facts and salary, the closing date and Apply, then the work and what the role needs.

Offer letters and contracts are signed online, with a certificate.

E-Signatures sends your offer letter or contract PDF, with fields placed for each signer. A starter keeps the letter, so the next one needs only a name and an email.

Everyone gets the signed PDF and a certificate of completion.

The handbook and policies are documents everyone can open.

Documents holds the handbook and each policy, with headings, tables and a table of contents. Named versions keep each revision.

Managers can comment and suggest changes before a policy is agreed.

Requests and surveys come in on a form, in one list.

Forms builds request forms and surveys, from starters such as Request and Feedback. Questions can be choices, text, dates or file uploads.

Every response comes into one list you can export. You can be emailed for each one.

The Form builder with Kestrel & Finch’s office request form: a heading, then questions for a name and what the request is for, and a box to say more.

Every laptop and screen has an owner and a history.

Asset Tracker keeps each device with its tag, serial number and location. You assign it to a person, and its history records each change.

Purchase and warranty details are seen by admins only.

The team books meeting rooms, and you approve the ones that need it.

Resource Booking holds each room with its hours and rules. A room can confirm bookings at once or wait for your approval.

Other people's bookings show as Busy. A report shows how much each room is used.
