Charlie is the HR software for small businesses with big ideas. Best for companies under 50 to accompany them as they grow. We believe building a company is hard enough, running one shouldn't be. Our product is designed to feel as simple as it looks: it takes the admin headaches that pile up as you grow off your plate, so you get back more of what you're always short on – that's time, and confidence that you're doing the right thing. We built Charlie because we've felt that pressure ourselves, and we're on the side of anyone else feeling it too.
