Zelt has been amazing at helping us set-up all things HR in an easy and compliant way. They are 10x better than more known systems like HiBob or Payfit and offer better and more competitive service. They are open to iterate their product to specific requirements which is amazing!

I find the Zelt much more straightforward to use than our existing software. This became obvious when I had to retrieve some information from our old system at which point I was shocked at how difficult it was to navigate.

After many years as a startup founder and using a lot of different tools, I am now building my new ventures on Zelt. It helps us stay lean and reduce distraction from administration.

From classic HR tasks to more advanced features like managing hardware/software for your teams! That saved us a lot of time when onboarding new joiners and gives extra security when we need to offboard someone. Also their customer support is super responsive and very helpful.

Zelt is a singular place for Time Off, Payroll, Reviews, and Documents was what we needed. I chose Zelt over other HRIS management platforms because the UI was super simple and easy to understand, and the short sales cycle and active onboarding support meant minimal migration headache.
