Stop running HR from spreadsheets and inboxes.
Foundry HR gives growing UK teams one workplace for employee records, leave, timesheets, org structure, goals, and performance reviews — so HR admins stop chasing updates across tabs and email threads.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone:
People data lives in five places — and none of them quite match
Personal details, employment history, and documents drift apart until nobody trusts any single source.
Leave requests hide in Slack, email, or verbal yeses
Managers approve in DMs and inboxes, with no shared view of who’s out and when.
The org chart is out of date the week after you redraw it
New hires and reorgs happen faster than the chart anyone maintains gets updated.
Timesheets trickle in late and hold up payroll or billing
Time logs arrive over days with no clear approval trail when finance is waiting.
Review cycles start strong and then fall through
Performance reviews get set up once, then nobody can tell who’s actually finished.
Nobody’s sure who can see what
Sensitive HR data and company files get over-shared because access isn’t configured anywhere.
Foundry HR replaces that scatter with one distraction-free workspace for HR admins, team leads, and every employee.
From day one to every review cycle — in one system.
HR admin isn’t a sixth silo. It sits across the whole picture: records, access, calendars, and cycles.
One employee record. Six places work actually happens.
Think of Foundry HR as a single filing cabinet — not six disconnected tools.
Employee
Core record, profile, and history in one place.
Leave & attendance
Requests, balances, and approvals against your holiday calendar.
Timesheets
Log, review, approve, with a clear trail when payroll or billing is waiting.
Team
Live directory and org chart from reporting lines.
Goals & performance
Set goals, run review cycles, and see completion per person.
Company & admin
Policies, access, holidays, and a company dashboard at a glance.
Nothing lives in isolation. Change the record once; leave, time, team, goals, and reviews all refer to it.
Built for how HR actually runs day to day.
Leave request lifecycle
Performance review cycle
Live org chart
Reporting lines update the directory and chart automatically.
One-click approvals
Leave and timesheets in a single queue, not a buried inbox.
Policy-based access
Set who sees what once; it applies everywhere.
Company dashboard
Headcount, leave load, and review completion when you need a quick read.
Role-shaped home
One login; HR admins, leads, and employees each land where their work starts.
The same platform. Three different jobs.
Example walkthrough (illustrative organisation — not a customer case study).
One record, three roles
Maya keeps records and cycles honest. Devon approves leave and time for their team. Priya self-serves profile, leave, time, and goals — without pinging HR for every status check.
Maya — HR admin
Sets up records, holiday calendars, access policies, goals, and review cycles. Sees who’s unfinished without chasing spreadsheets.
Devon — Team lead
Approves leave and timesheets, keeps reporting lines honest, and completes reviews for their people — all in one place.
Priya — Employee
Updates their profile, books leave, submits time, and tracks goals without pinging HR for every status check.
Not another enterprise HCM. Not another spreadsheet with a login.
Foundry HR is for growing organisations that have outgrown shared drives and email threads — and don’t need a bloated suite to fix it.
Anti-scatter by design
One record across leave, time, team, goals, and reviews.
Live org truth
Not a slide you redraw twice a year.
Approvals in-product
Not buried in inboxes.
Calm, minimal interface
So people actually use it.
Simple pricing. One plan.

Common questions
Who is Foundry HR for?
HR admins and people ops in growing UK SMEs — plus the team leads and employees who use it every week.
Do we need different logins for different roles?
No. One login; Home is shaped by role and policy.
Does the org chart stay up to date?
Yes. It follows reporting lines on the employee record, so the directory and chart stay in sync.

You set access with company policy — once — and it applies across the platform.

Yes. Sign up to start yourself, or request a 30-minute walkthrough with the Quantum Foundry team.
