AnooreHR Onboarding: Set Up Your Account in Minutes

Getting your HR and payroll operations off the ground should not take weeks of training or a dedicated IT team. AnooreHR was built so that a founder, an HR manager, or an office administrator can go from sign-up to fully operational in a single afternoon. This walkthrough covers every step you need to take on the AnooreHR platform — from creating your organisation profile to posting your first role and browsing the talent pool.


Step 1: Create Your Free Account

Head to anoorehr.com and click Get Started Free. AnooreHR is free for teams of up to 3 employees, so you can explore the full platform before committing to a paid plan.

During sign-up you will be asked to:

  • Enter your business name and email address
  • Choose your country — Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Rwanda, Egypt, or Morocco
  • Set a secure password

Once your email is verified, you land on the main dashboard.


Step 2: Configure Your Organisation Profile

Before anything else, complete your Organisation Settings. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner and select Organisation Profile.

Fill in:

  • Legal business name (used on payslips and statutory filings)
  • Industry and company size
  • Registered address and tax ID — your PAYE number in Nigeria, KRA PIN in Kenya, TIN in Ghana, and so on

This information powers AnooreHR's automatic statutory calculations. In 2026, compliance requirements across all seven supported markets have grown more complex, and the platform handles PAYE, pension, NHF, NSSF, SHIF, SSNIT, UIF, and other deductions automatically once your country and tax details are saved.


Step 3: Add Your Employees

Navigate to People → Add Employee. You can add team members one at a time or import a CSV file for bulk uploads.

For each employee, capture:

  • Full name, role, and department
  • Start date and employment type (permanent, contract, or part-time)
  • Salary and payment frequency
  • Statutory identifiers (e.g., NIN and PenCom RSA PIN in Nigeria, NSSF number in Kenya)

Once saved, each employee gets a self-service profile where they can view payslips and submit leave requests.


Step 4: Run Your First Payroll

Go to Payroll → New Pay Run and select the pay period. AnooreHR pre-fills all statutory deductions based on each employee's profile. Review the breakdown, make any adjustments, and click Approve. Payslips are generated and can be emailed to employees instantly.


Step 5: Post a Job Role

Ready to grow your team? Click Hiring → Post a Role in the left sidebar.

Complete the job form:

  1. Job title and department — be specific to attract the right candidates
  2. Employment type and location — on-site, hybrid, or remote
  3. Salary range — displaying a range increases application rates
  4. Job description — use the built-in rich-text editor to format responsibilities and requirements clearly
  5. Screening questions — add up to five custom questions to pre-qualify applicants

Click Publish. Your role goes live on AnooreHR's job board immediately and is shareable via a direct link you can post on LinkedIn, WhatsApp, or your company website.


Step 6: Access the Talent Pool

The talent pool is where AnooreHR stands apart from standalone job boards. Navigate to Hiring → Talent Pool to browse profiles of candidates who have opted in to be discovered by employers across the network.

Use the filters to narrow by:

  • Country and city
  • Skills and years of experience
  • Availability (immediately available, open to offers, not looking)

When you find a strong match, click Invite to Apply to send them a direct message linked to your open role. No third-party credits or subscription fees are needed to contact candidates.


Step 7: Invite Your Team to AnooreHR

HR works best as a shared system. Go to Settings → Team Access and invite colleagues with role-based permissions — Admin, HR Manager, Payroll Approver, or Employee Self-Service only.


You Are Ready to Go

From statutory payroll to active hiring, the AnooreHR platform onboarding process is designed to remove friction at every step. Most teams complete all seven steps in under an hour. If you get stuck, the in-app help centre and live support chat are available from your dashboard.
