# HR systems

Connect your HR system to sync time off into Swarmia.

## Why connect your HR system

* Sync time off to make developer effort metrics more accurate.
* Base [software capitalization](/features/capitalize-software-development-costs.md) and [investment balance](/features/focus/balance-engineering-investments.md) reports on real FTEs, not headcount.
* Match the people in Swarmia to your employee records.
* Show who's away in the work log.

## Connect your HR system

Swarmia connects straight to your HR system, with no third-party data processor in between.

* [**BambooHR**](/settings/integrations/hr-systems/bamboohr.md)
* [**HiBob**](/settings/integrations/hr-systems/hibob.md)
* [**Personio**](/settings/integrations/hr-systems/personio.md)
* [**Workday**](/settings/integrations/hr-systems/workday.md)

Using a different HR system? [Upload time off via CSV](/settings/integrations/hr-systems/upload-time-off-data-via-csv.md) or push it in through the [Time off API](/settings/integrations/swarmia-apis/time-off-api.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
HR system integrations are part of the Enterprise plan. If you're on a different plan, your CSM or account manager can enable the feature for your organization. If neither is an option, you can still get the same improvements in developer effort accuracy by [importing time off data via CSV](/settings/integrations/hr-systems/upload-time-off-data-via-csv.md) or pushing it in through the [Time off API](/settings/integrations/swarmia-apis/time-off-api.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.swarmia.com/settings/integrations/hr-systems.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
