HR Partner HR software: $40K a month, self-reported in 2022, no contracts

HR Partner is employee management and recruitment software for small and medium businesses. Its $40K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of March 2022.

What it actually sells

HR Partner stores employee contact data, files, reviews, assets, renewable documents, and more in one accessible and secure place. Its recruitment features let users publish jobs on their own portal and integrated job boards, then manage applicants with a visual tracking system.

The product includes leave requests, accruals, approvals, and a leave calendar showing team availability. It also supports performance appraisals, goal tracking, and electronic document signatures for employees, applicants, and people outside the company.

How it charges

HR Partner says, “Once you sign up, there are no contracts and you can cancel at any time. You just pay as you go and you can change your plan at any time.” The site also offers free trials with no obligation, access to all features during the trial, and no credit card requirement.

Where customers come from

The site offers free trials without a credit card and displays requests for live demos and a video tour. HR Partner also says it integrates with other applications and provides an API for further integration.

HR Partner says its software is used by thousands of small and medium businesses. The site displays ratings of 4.8 stars on Capterra, 4.5 stars on G2, and 5 stars on SHRM.

What stands out

“HR Partner gives teams of 20-500 the tools to run HR properly, with transparent pricing, no contracts, and real human support.” Its listed features cover employee records, recruitment, leave management, appraisals, goal tracking, and electronic signatures.

HR Partner publishes jobs on users’ own portals and integrated job boards. Applicants can be managed with a visual tracking system, while employees and external parties can sign documents electronically.

Where it sits in the data

HR Partner's $40K a month is higher than 80% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, this needs real work. The buyer is a small or medium business with an HR team that needs employee management and recruitment software. Demand would come from searches for HR tools, applicant tracking, leave management, performance reviews, document storage, and electronic signatures.

Distribution would require a clear path through search, referrals, partnerships, trials, demos, and integrations. The hard parts include handling sensitive employee information, supporting several HR workflows, maintaining integrations and an API, meeting regulatory requirements, managing competition, and providing reliable human support.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

HR Partner brings employee records, recruitment, leave, performance, and electronic signatures into one product for teams of 20-500. Its visible commercial surface includes pay-as-you-go plans, free trials, live demos, video tours, integrations, and an API.
