HR Chatbot FAQs
Everything you need to know about implementing an HR chatbot for your organisation.
What is an HR chatbot?
An HR chatbot is an AI-powered assistant that handles employee queries about policies, leave, benefits, and HR processes through natural conversation. Unlike traditional HR portals, an HR chatbot understands questions in plain English and provides instant, accurate answers 24/7. It can also process requests like leave submissions, document generation, and onboarding tasks automatically.
What questions can an HR chatbot answer?
A well-configured HR chatbot handles virtually any employee question: holiday policies, sick leave procedures, benefits information, expense claims, training opportunities, company policies, onboarding tasks, payroll queries, and more. Our HR bots are trained on your specific company policies and connected to your HRIS for personalised answers like "How many holiday days do I have left?" with accurate, real-time data.
How does the HR chatbot integrate with our existing HRIS?
We build direct integrations with all major HRIS platforms including BambooHR, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, HiBob, and others. The HR automation chatbot pulls real-time employee data — leave balances, personal details, org structure — to provide accurate, personalised responses. We also connect to Slack, Microsoft Teams, and your intranet for seamless access.
Is the HR chatbot GDPR compliant?
Absolutely. Our HR chatbots are built with UK GDPR compliance as standard. We implement proper consent mechanisms, data minimisation, secure storage, and appropriate retention policies. Employee data is handled with the same security your HR team applies — often better, since the chatbot can't accidentally share information it shouldn't. We provide full audit trails for compliance reporting.
Can employees submit leave requests through the HR chatbot?
Yes! Employees can check their leave balances and submit holiday requests directly through conversation. The employee chatbot validates the request against your policies, checks for conflicts, notifies managers for approval, and updates your HRIS and calendars automatically. The entire process takes under a minute instead of filling out forms and waiting for emails.
How does the HR chatbot handle sensitive or complex queries?
Our HR chatbots are trained to recognise when human intervention is needed. For sensitive topics like disciplinary matters, grievances, or complex benefits questions, the chatbot acknowledges the query and routes it to the appropriate HR team member with full context. Employees aren't left frustrated by unhelpful responses — they get connected to the right person quickly.
What does an HR chatbot cost?
HR chatbot costs depend on company size, integrations needed, and query volume. Typical implementations for UK businesses range from £300-1,000/month after initial setup. The ROI is clear: if your HR team spends even a few hours per week on repetitive queries, an HR automation chatbot pays for itself quickly while improving employee experience.
How long does it take to implement an HR chatbot?
Most HR chatbot implementations take 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch. This includes discovery, policy documentation review, HRIS integration, testing, and training. Simpler deployments with fewer integrations can launch in 2-3 weeks. We handle the technical work while your HR team focuses on reviewing content and testing the experience.
Can the HR chatbot support employee onboarding?
Onboarding support is one of the most valuable HR chatbot use cases. New joiners get instant answers to their many questions without overwhelming HR. The chatbot guides them through first-week tasks, reminds them about required training, helps them understand company policies, and connects them with the right people. HR teams report 80% less time spent on routine onboarding queries.
Will employees actually use an HR chatbot?
In 2026, employees expect instant self-service. Our HR chatbots see adoption rates of 70-90% within the first month — because getting an instant answer is simply better than waiting for HR to respond. The key is making the chatbot genuinely helpful (accurate answers, real integrations) rather than a frustrating dead-end. We focus on quality responses that build employee trust.
