HelmRow

HR software for government contractors.

Most HR platforms were built for companies that never have to prove anything to an auditor. HelmRow was built for the ones that do: the whole employee lifecycle, on records designed to hold up.

Plenty of HR software exists. Almost none of it was designed for a labor-accounting audit.

A 20 to 300 person government contractor usually ends up with four systems: a spreadsheet for people, a separate timekeeping tool bought for the audit, an inbox for HR requests, and a folder of signed PDFs. None of them know about each other.

HelmRow is one system for all of it. Hiring, onboarding, employee records, leave, documents, training, benefits and requests — with labor charging and its controls built into the same record rather than bolted alongside.

  • Eleven product areas on one employee record
  • Timekeeping designed around DCAA labor-accounting controls
  • Append-only records and an audit trail anyone with authority can verify

The whole employee lifecycle, in one place.

A requisition becomes a posting on your own careers page. A candidate applies with no account. Interviews, scorecards and a clearance review run in the pipeline. The offer is accepted, and the hire becomes an employee record that launches its own onboarding.

From there it is one record: time and leave, documents and acknowledgments, training and certifications, performance, benefits and HR requests, until the mirror offboarding workflow closes it out and the record is preserved.

  • The employee record is created from the hired candidate’s page, so a hire is not entered twice
  • Effective-dated employment history, so mid-year changes never rewrite the past
  • A matching offboarding workflow for access, equipment and final documents
