About NotchHR

NotchHR Brand Story:
Built for Africa. Powered by People.

In Africa, businesses are growing fast. But many are still held back by outdated systems that make managing people a painful, error-prone process. Payroll is messy. Talent slips through the cracks. Data is scattered. And the systems that claim to help? They’re either not built for Africa or not built to scale.

At NotchHR, we saw this and we decided to do something about it.

HR Software Nigeria, free HR Software Nigeria, employee management software, Recruitment software Nigeria, payroll software Nigeria, performance management software, NotchHR  is the best, affordable, and comprehensive HR software to simplify and automate your HR processes, for businesses of all sizes.

We began as MyXalary, a homegrown solution focused on simplifying payroll for African businesses. But as we listened to our users, one thing became clear: African companies don’t just need software, they need a platform that understands their reality, speaks their language, and grows with them.

So, we evolved.

Today, NotchHR is the all-in-one HR and people management platform built for African businesses, by a team that lives and breathes the African workplace.

From SMEs to fast-scaling startups to enterprise teams in oil & gas, banking, and construction. NotchHR gives organizations the tools they need to attract, acquire, manage, and retain great talent.

With real-time data insights, payroll automation, tax & pension compliance, performance tracking, onboarding flows, employee self-service, and learning management, we take the heavy lifting off HR teams so they can focus on building culture and driving growth.
