Use Cases

• Small to medium organizations that need a self-hosted HR system to manage recruitment, onboarding and time off
• HR teams requiring consolidated employee records, competency tracking and performance evaluations
• Companies that want extensible HR software with API access for integrations (payroll, ERP, SSO)

Limitations and Considerations

• Does not include payroll processing; payroll must be integrated from external systems
• Server requirements include PHP 8.x, an SQL database (MySQL/MariaDB) and Elasticsearch; setup may require infrastructure work
• Community support is primary for the open-source edition; commercial implementation services are available separately

MintHCM is suitable for organizations that want a customizable, self-hosted HR platform with modern web and mobile clients and API-first integration capabilities.
