Free tools for HR leaders

HR and business calculators
for the people problems most tools ignore.

Put a number on the problems most HR tools cannot see (turnover, disengagement, the real cost of a hire), then use your own figures to build the business case. Free, no sign-up, every benchmark sourced.

Some of these tools
bite back.

Paste in a job ad or a rejection email and get it roasted, with every flagged phrase quoted back and a fix for each. Others score a vendor shortlist or a whole team's absences, and one puts a daily price on an empty seat.
