The MonsteraHR platform
Modern systems, without the hype
MonsteraHR is a modern HRIS for SMBs that take sensitive people data seriously — staff tools, employee self-service, candidate flows, time and leave, and performance, built to a calm, precise product standard. It exists to serve the practice we help you build, not to replace it.
Consulting stands alone · Platform optional and deliberate · Closed beta with founding clients
What’s inside
The operational backbone growing teams need — shipped and in use, described plainly.
Staff dashboard
One calm operational home: role-based views, notifications, and the day-to-day workflows HR actually runs.
Employee self-service
Employees see their own time off, documents, benefits info, and requests — without emailing HR for every question.
Time & leave
Policies, balances, requests and approvals, timesheets, and calendar export — one source of truth for who is out and when.
Recruiting & candidate flows
Job postings, a public apply portal, application tracking, and semantic candidate matching that helps you shortlist faster.
Onboarding & offboarding
Customizable checklists with task owners — and exits that cannot be finalized until every required step is complete and documented.
Performance
Review templates, cycles, 360° feedback, and goals — designed to support judgment, not replace it.
Documents with real access control
Versioned policies and files where managers see their team’s documents — and nobody else does.
Reports & audit evidence
Headcount, turnover, and people metrics, plus an exportable audit trail of who did what, when.
Payroll-ready exports
Clean exports in Gusto and ADP formats, so your payroll provider gets consistent data. (We don’t process payroll.)
An assistant that respects your permissions
Ask “what’s our parental leave policy?” and get a plain answer with citations to your own documents — the handbook, the policy, the page.
The part that matters: the assistant can only read what the person asking is already permitted to see. That boundary is enforced before anything is retrieved — a manager’s question is answered from a manager’s documents, an employee’s from theirs. Every query is logged.
We treat AI as decision-support with human review — useful for finding and summarizing, never for making employment decisions on its own. Your data is never used to train models.
Isolation enforced by the database
Employee data is not “just another SaaS dataset.” In MonsteraHR, each company’s records are walled off at the database layer itself — PostgreSQL row-level security under a least-privilege application role — not merely by application code remembering to filter.
That isolation is verified automatically against a real database on every code change, so the guarantee is continuously tested rather than assumed.
How we treat your data
- Company and client data isolated at the database layer — enforced by PostgreSQL row-level security under a least-privilege role, and verified automatically on every code change.
- Every sensitive action lands in an audit trail — actor, role, IP, and request ID — exportable to CSV when your diligence process asks.
- US-only data processing. Customer data is never used to train AI models.
- Backups with tested restores, not just backups.
- An independent penetration test is a release gate before we take commercial customers. We do not claim SOC 2 certification — we build audit-ready evidence and say precisely where we are.
Questions about security, privacy, or commercial terms are welcome in discovery. We prefer precise answers over marketing superlatives.
The path in is deliberate
We don’t sell seats and hope. Platform adoption comes through the Systems Modernization & Platform Path — process blueprints first, then configuration, data cleanup, and change management, so the system encodes clarity instead of chaos.
Adopt the platform when it serves the practice — not the other way around.
Common questions
Do we have to use the platform to work with MonsteraHR?
No. Consulting stands alone. The platform is a deliberate option when process and ownership are ready.
What does the AI assistant actually do?
It answers questions from your own documents — “what’s our parental leave policy?” — with citations. It can only read documents the asker is already permitted to see, and every query is logged. It is decision-support with human review, never an autonomous decision-maker.
Does MonsteraHR run payroll?
No. We produce payroll-ready exports in Gusto and ADP formats and coordinate with the payroll provider you already trust.
What stage is the platform at?
Closed beta with founding clients. The path in is a conversation, not a checkout — implementation is guided, with process design and change management included.
