Questions about the HR pod
Something missing? Write to admin@frugalpod.com and a person will reply.
Does it make hiring decisions?
No. It scores applicants against the criteria you set and explains why. People decide who moves forward.
How is candidate and employee data protected?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, tools connect with the narrowest permissions, and your data is never used to train models.
Can employees ask it policy questions?
Yes, in Slack or the app. It answers from your current policies and points to the clause it used.
