Imagine HR as a wild jungle. A bit more civilized though, thanks to the order of no-code development. See how you too can tame it.
Strong organizations are swamped with HR chores like updating info and handling admin stuff. With more people working remotely, it's a mess. They need tools to deal with changing work setups and policies on the fly.
Can you make HR life easier and keep everyone happy? Building personalized employee portals might just do the trick, and for that, you need the right tool for the job. Directual is precisely that.
An employee portal is a website or app where workers can check their pay, taxes, and work stuff. They can also do cloud HR things like ask for time off or get money back for expenses. Basically, it lets people handle their own admin crap, cutting down on HR's headaches.
They can change passwords, get their payslips, keep up with their hours, and deal with expenses without bugging HR. Of course, a lot of this functionality has to be intimately intertwined, integrated with other systems, and scalable.
ESS portals make life easier for everyone at work. Here’s why they’re good:
Employees get pissed waiting on HR for every little thing. With a self-service portal, they check their leave balance, update personal details, and more—anytime, reducing dependency on HR.
HR is human, so they mess up sometimes. When employees handle their own updates, errors drop big time.
It’s a pain to spread news company-wide. ESS portals sned notifications, making sure everyone’s up to speed without a hassle.
Integrating ESS with what you already have means less chaos. Employees find what they need without digging through a dozen systems.
A cool portal with snappy content and quick access to info makes employees more likely to engage, boosting their mood and involvement. Add some fun to it, and watch morale improve. If such a thing is even possible.
No-code app development is a fast track to getting apps up and running, way quicker than old-school coding. Here's why it's a good choice for building employee portals without a headache:
Got a mess of employee info spread all over? No-code makes it easy to pull it all together. Forget about the bad old days when employees needed a zillion passwords to find basic stuff.
No-code hooks up with all your data spots, like databases and APIs, without a fuss. It lets employees get what they need from one place.
Traditional coding is a marathon of building everything bit by bit, which sucks up time and energy. With no-code, it’s so fast. Drag-and-drop, pre-built bits, and templates mean you can whip up a portal fast, test it, and tweak it without burning out your team.
Using what you've got and skipping the hiring frenzy means no-code is kinder to your budget. Plus, apps built this way tend to rake in more cash compared to the old methods.
Need to add new features or handle more users? Legacy systems made this a nightmare. No-code platforms are all about growth. They let you easily expand your portal as your company and its needs evolve, without starting from scratch every time.
No-code makes building employee portals less of a pain, saving time, money, and sanity while making everything work together.

To build a kickass employee portal with no-code, here's the simple blueprint:
Start by listing everything your portal must have—employee info, how it'll connect to other systems, rules on who can see what, and so on.
This is the heart of your project. Find a no-code tool that fits your list of needs. Chat with the platform's nerds, see a demo, and make sure it's a match. Directual’s your best bet, but hey, who doesn’t like to shop around for a little bit?
The best part about no-code is the stash of ready-to-go designs and the drag-and-drop magic. Either start from zero or use what’s there to whip up a slick-looking portal fast.
The portal needs to talk smoothly to other data sources. Set up connections so your data flows easily and your portal always shows the latest info.
Some stuff is top secret. Make sure only the right eyes see sensitive info by setting up clear permission rules.
Keep testing and asking users what they think. Use the feedback to make the portal better until it's just right.
Once it's polished, roll it out. Keep an eye on how it's doing and be ready to adjust as needed.
That's how you use no-code to throw together an employee portal that doesn't suck. Look easy on paper, but in reality, things tend to get a little bit more complicated. Which why is no-code is so good—the problems are so much easier to spot and fix.

Peers, a headhunting and consulting firm made a smart move by developing a sophisticated bot to step up our game—with Directual’s help.
Here's the deal with Peers: they’re in the business of finding top-notch experts for big names in consulting, IT, and heavy industry. Started small, aiming high—matching high-level pros with companies that need them. CTOs, tech gurus, you name it.
In only a few months, a Telegram chatbot that's a matchmaker between top talent and the right gigs was made. Peers are targeting grads from elite universities and seasoned pros in industrial or consulting roles.
