The HR team stops answering the same forty questions

Castia People handles records, onboarding, leave, and reviews — with an assistant that answers every policy question from your actual handbook, correctly, at 11pm.

The challenge

What this looks like today

The HR inbox is 80% questions the handbook already answers.
Onboarding is a checklist someone forgets to run.
Policy differs by country and nobody's sure which version applies.
Performance review data is in a spreadsheet that gets emailed around.
The product

Everything you'd expect from Castia People

The features you'd want from any tool in this category — because this is a product, not a plugin.

Employee records

One record per person: contract, role history, documents, and compliance dates.

Onboarding & offboarding

Structured joiner and leaver flows — equipment, accounts, training, sign-offs — that actually complete.

Leave & absence

Requests, approvals, balances, and the calendar view your managers need.

Performance reviews

Review cycles, goals, and structured feedback with a record you can stand behind.

Compliance & documents

Right-to-work, contracts, and policy acknowledgements tracked with expiry dates.

Powered by Castia AI

…and everything you can’t get anywhere else

Castia People is built on the Castia platform — so enterprise search, knowledge AI, reporting, workflow automation, and agents all apply directly to your work.

A policy assistant that's actually right

Answers from your handbook, for the employee's country and contract — with the clause quoted and linked.

Onboarding agents

An agent that walks the new starter through week one, answers their questions, and chases the outstanding sign-offs.

Search every people document

Contracts, policies, handbooks, and past cases — retrieved semantically, respecting permissions absolutely.

People analytics

Attrition, absence patterns, and time-to-productivity, explained rather than just charted.

Ask HR anything

"How many days' notice does a UK employee on the 2023 contract have to give?" — answered from the governing document.

In practice

From question to finished work

Ask in plain language. Castia does the reading, the reconciling, and the drafting.

You ask

Can an employee in Ireland carry over unused annual leave?

Castia delivers

The answer, the specific clause from the Irish handbook, a link to the source, and a flag that the policy was updated in March — the older version still in circulation says something different.
