Sesame HR

Sesame HR comes from Valencia and has been growing steadily since 2015. Originally a time tracking specialist, the platform has expanded to cover most HR needs for small and medium companies. Over 8,000 businesses use it, predominantly in Spain and Latin America.

Time Tracking Done Right

Time tracking is Sesame HR's bread and butter. Employees can clock in through the web, mobile app, QR codes, facial recognition, or NFC tags. The system automatically calculates overtime, breaks, and total hours worked. For Spanish companies, it generates all the reports required by the time tracking law that came into effect in 2019. Geolocation tracking handles remote and field workers.

People Management Features

Beyond time tracking, Sesame HR covers shift planning with drag-and-drop scheduling, document management with electronic signatures, and a vacation/absence tracker that integrates with the time system. The onboarding module walks new employees through checklists and required documentation. Performance evaluations support custom questionnaires and 360-degree feedback cycles.

What Could Be Better

Sesame HR's payroll capabilities are limited—it exports data to payroll providers rather than processing nóminas directly. The platform is strong for Spanish-speaking markets but less polished in English or other languages. Integrations are growing but still trail competitors like Factorial or Personio. Advanced analytics and custom reporting feel like they're still catching up.

Pricing Structure

Plans run between €4.50 and €8 per employee per month, positioning Sesame HR as one of the more affordable options in the Spanish HR software market. There's a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
