Overview
Leapsome is a people-management platform that combines performance reviews, goals and OKRs, engagement surveys, learning, compensation, and continuous feedback with a core HRIS layer covering employee records, onboarding, absence and time tracking. It is aimed at mid-market and enterprise HR teams that want one system for performance and engagement rather than stitching together point tools.
The product is organized into an HRIS module (records, documents/e-signature, pre-boarding, absence, time tracking, payroll preparation) and a Talent suite (performance reviews, engagement surveys, goals/OKRs, learning, compensation, continuous feedback and praise, 1:1s and team meetings, competency frameworks, Q&A boards). Leapsome layers AI features across the suite, including a conversational AI copilot, AI-assisted review writing, AI-driven sentiment analysis of survey text, and automated recommendations.
Leapsome does not run payroll or core HR/ERP transactions itself; it connects to a company's existing HRIS or HCM system (including SAP SuccessFactors and Workday) to sync employee data, then layers performance, engagement and learning workflows on top. It reports 2,000+ customer organizations, including Spotify, Notion, Sony and Porsche.
