Questions about the team directory

What is employee directory software?
A single place where every staff member's role, department, manager, contact details and start date are kept, instead of a spreadsheet or a phone contact list. startbuddi adds a full profile and an org chart on top.
How does the org chart work?
It is built from each person's manager. Set Reports to on their profile and the chart updates on its own, with Chart and List views.
Can I keep contractors and freelancers in the directory?
Yes. You can add someone as an external collaborator, or as a Contractor employment type. Fuller tracking for external collaborators is still being built.
Who can see private details like emergency contacts?
Only people allowed to see private details. Each person has a People access level (HR admin, Team member or No access), and managers see their own reports.
Is it a good staff records system for a small business in Nigeria?
Yes. It is built for small teams in Lagos and beyond: locations like "Lagos, Nigeria · Remote", a digital staff file per person, and checkout through Paystack.
