Recruitment - attracting and qualifying talent
You've launched a job ad and... you're flooded with CVs? First step: centralize your applications. Odoo RH allows you to create a public portal where your employees and future candidates can deposit their data directly - CVs, cover letters, portfolios. Then it's time to qualify: thanks to notes, filters and evaluations, each profile is classified according to your criteria: experience, specific skills, motivations... It's easier than it sounds! Practical tip: automate the sending of a personalized acknowledgement of receipt, to reinforce your employer image and avoid follow-ups.
Keeping a clear trail prevents you from losing a good candidate under a pile of e-mails - a common, but avoidable, mistake! You can also integrate your ads directly on LinkedIn or Indeed to reach a wider audience. The system generates statistics on the source of recruitment, enabling you to adjust your investments. The icing on the cake: candidates can apply from their cell phones, enhancing the user experience.
Leave management - a zen process
Who doesn't dream of a headache-free vacation process? Odoo RH transforms a chore into a pleasure: your employees make their request online, choose their type of leave (RTT, CP, sick leave), and voilà: the request automatically appears in your dashboard. As a manager, you can validate absences and anticipate replacements in just one click. It's like having an invisible assistant!
Pro tip: define company rules (maximum number of days, prohibited periods) to avoid scheduling conflicts. This avoids unpleasant surprises and guarantees fair management. Your vacations are synchronized with your production schedule, without double entry. You can export leave data in payroll-compatible format for greater efficiency. And if absenteeism peaks, automatic alerts let you know as soon as the critical threshold is reached.
Payroll - guaranteed reliability and compliance
How to configure the Odoo payroll module? Odoo makes payroll child's play: just connect your HR module to your accountingYou'll be able to import contracts and attendance data automatically, and generate pay slips in a matter of seconds. You comply with legal obligations (contributions, social security declarations) without leaving the interface (Micro-expression: seriously, you'll love the synthetic view!).
A study by Deloitte (2024) shows that companies that automate their payroll reduce data entry errors by 40%. Practical tip: check your payroll parameters as soon as you launch, then run a test on an employee - it's the best way to detect a forgotten parameter. As a bonus, Odoo integrates RGPD compliance to protect sensitive data. The forms are automatically generated in PDF format and archived, ready to be sent to the bank. Last but not least, the link with your bank enables massive transfers without manual re-entry.
Integration and performance monitoring
One of Odoo RH's greatest assets is its natural integration with Sales modulesProject or Marketing. You can track each employee's objectives, generate reports on their performance and draw up a customized training plan. Your HR data automatically feeds your dashboards, enabling you to make strategic decisions: recruiting according to budget, adjusting headcount according to workload, or identifying internal talent for key positions.
It's a real time-saver, and above all, a total alignment between your HR processes and your company's global strategy. You can even launch internal engagement or satisfaction campaigns via the Survey module, then correlate the results with your turnover. The annual appraisal becomes a set of figures, not a pile of paper forms. And with every organizational change, updating roles and rights is just a few clicks away.

2. Check data consistency (contracts, leave, absences) every quarter.
3. Archive old contracts to lighten the database and speed up queries.
4. Test what's new with each new version of Odoo: new HR tools are added regularly.
