Migrate your HR Director data
UK-focused HRMS platform for small and medium businesses, combining core HR records with payroll and absence management under one roof.
In its favor
Why people choose HR Director
The signal that keeps HR Director on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Notably, 'HR Director' as referenced in this catalog entry corresponds to a thin set of UK/regional HR-management offerings rather than a single dominant platform — buyers typically adopt it when they want UK-focused statutory compliance handled without paying for a global HRIS.
Combines core HR records with payroll-relevant data and absence management, reducing the multi-tool stack that small UK businesses otherwise need.
Lower per-employee cost than enterprise HRMS platforms makes it appealing for SMBs that find Workday, BambooHR, or Personio overkill.
UK-centric reporting and statutory leave templates pre-built into the system reduce manual configuration.
Cloud delivery removes the on-premise server maintenance some legacy UK HRIS tools still require.
Limited public footprint on G2 and Capterra makes peer validation difficult, and prospective buyers struggle to find verified reviewer feedback.
Reporting depth and analytics features fall short of mid-market HRIS leaders like BambooHR or HiBob.
No publicly documented developer API restricts integration into bespoke payroll or learning systems.
Vendor scale is smaller than international HRIS providers, so partner ecosystem and integration libraries are narrower.
Migration tooling is not documented publicly; data egress runs through admin export or vendor-assisted dumps rather than programmatic API.

What gets migrated
HR Director object support
Object-by-object support for HR Director migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Employees
Fully supportedEmployee master records (name, contact, role, department, start date) form the core object. We extract the active and historical employee set with status flags.
Compensation
Mapping requiredCompensation data (salary, bonus, currency) is stored against employees but schema varies by tenant — we map salary history fields per discovery.
Time Off
Fully supportedAbsence records (leave type, dates, approver, status) are tracked per employee. UK statutory leave templates are exported with their type codes preserved.
Onboarding
Mapping requiredOnboarding task lists and workflow data export where present, but custom flows must be re-implemented in the destination.
Performance Reviews
Mapping requiredPerformance review records (cycle date, ratings, comments) export per employee. Custom rating scales are mapped during discovery.
Org Chart
Mapping requiredManager hierarchy is implicit in employee records (manager_id) rather than a separate Org Chart object. We reconstruct hierarchy from the manager linkage.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom employee fields are tenant-specific. We enumerate and map during scoping.
Documents
Mapping requiredEmployee documents (contracts, certifications) are stored as attachments. We export binary documents alongside metadata where the platform exposes file access.
