Built by HR people,
for HR people
We started Pulse because we were tired of watching talented HR teams drown in spreadsheets, email threads, and tools that weren't built for them. We believe people operations deserves software as good as any other function in the business.
What we believe
People first
Every product decision starts with the people who will use it — managers, employees, and HR teams alike.
Radical clarity
HR data should be easy to understand, not buried in dashboards. We build for insight, not reports.
Privacy by design
Employee data is sensitive. We store the minimum, encrypt everything, and never sell your data.
Speed matters
HR teams move fast. Pulse loads in under a second and never gets in your way.
