HR Tools, Templates & Kits

Built from real cases. Not from training data.

Twenty-five downloadable tools, templates, and kits — every one shaped by 20+ years of real HR work at companies from 10 to 10,000 employees. Pick what you need. Skip what you don't.

Bundles Kits Tools Templates Guides

The human-judgment difference: AI can generate a separation agreement template. It can't tell you that the language a NJ court found unenforceable last year is still in most templates online. These tools were built from real terminations, real audits, real complaints — pressure-tested in actual situations.
