Bottom line
HR workflow automation that turns onboarding, leave, equipment and approval requests into AI-assisted workflows behind one self-service portal. 2-week free trial; Business is $291/mo for 3,000 credits.
Stands out for: You can describe a process in plain language and 50skills drafts the workflow, then every internal request goes through one employee portal instead of email and spreadsheets. Pricing is by credits used, not per employee or per seat.
Watch out for: The first paid plan is $291/mo, which is a lot for a small team. AI actions cost a variable number of credits by model, SMS is billed on top at Twilio rates plus 20%, and webhooks, code actions and a custom portal URL need the $992/mo Premium plan.
Overview
50skills is an HR workflow automation platform founded in 2017. You start a workflow by typing what you need in plain language, or by picking a trigger from a tool you already use such as BambooHR, Personio or Slack, then refine it in a visual builder with conditions, approval stages and notifications. Workflows cover onboarding, offboarding, internal moves, leave, expenses, equipment, incident reports and IT ticket routing, and a live monitor keeps an audit trail of every step.
Custom AI agents sit inside those workflows. You choose the model, upload reference documents and set the output, and the vendor uses them for CV parsing, ranking and shortlisting as well as form checks. Customers named on the vendor site include Domino's, Icelandair, Securitas and ELKO. Business is $291/mo for 3,000 credits, Premium is $992/mo for 18,000, and Enterprise is quoted with Azure SSO.
