Is HRAI really one system, or several products you have to connect?
One system. A detail is written once and carries forward: the chosen candidate becomes an employee with an open file and nothing retyped, the published shift roster is the expectation attendance is measured against, and approved hours are the hours that go into the payroll report. There is no export and import between modules, and no second source of truth for the same detail.
How does a candidate become an employee in HRAI?
After the interviews the default step is sending an agreement. You pick its source (the onboarding template, a text template, an approved PDF template, or a one-off PDF with a written reason), it goes through approvals under company policy, the candidate signs through a link with an SMS code, and then the company signatory signs. Only after both signatures do the employee file and onboarding open. An offer step before the agreement is optional.
Can we start with one module only?
Yes. Each module is switched on separately for each company, and a module that is off is closed, not just hidden: the screen is in nobody's menu and the server refuses the route even at a direct address. You start with what hurts most, recruiting, onboarding or attendance, and add the rest when you are ready.
We already work with a payroll department. Do we have to replace it?
No. Your payroll department, in-house or external, keeps calculating pay. HRAI produces the import file it receives. The split is deliberate: what most organizations lack is not a pay engine but the record that feeds it, and that record is also what an inspection asks about.
Where exactly is AI used, and what will it not do?
In places you can point to: scoring CVs against the role's requirements and first screening, an AI review of an agreement before the company signs, reminders and WhatsApp conversations that close attendance gaps, and a background agent at the autonomy level you set. AI never decides about an employee or a candidate. A candidate below the threshold goes to a manual review queue, not to rejection, and sensitive actions such as changing bank details are never approved automatically.
Is HRAI built for Israeli employment law?
It was built in Israel, for Israeli law. Amendment 24 to the Wage Protection Law is part of the architecture: a manual attendance entry is marked as manual, needs approval by someone else, and unapproved hours do not count in the payroll report. Alongside it: Form 101 and its yearly renewal, reserve duty as a protected group at termination, the Hebrew holiday calendar, 125% and 150% overtime, weekly rest, and a file in your payroll department's format.
Can an English-speaking team use HRAI?
Yes. Each user can switch the interface between Hebrew and English, and employees can fill in Form 101 in Hebrew, English, Arabic, Russian or Amharic. Israeli documents and official forms keep their Hebrew text where the law or the authority defines it, and the system explains them in the interface.
We manage several companies. Do we log in to each one separately?
No. Whoever runs HR for several companies switches between them in the company switcher, which shows open, overdue and assigned-to-you tasks for each company. The tasks screen also has an all-companies view, grouped by company with a company tag on every row. Managers and employees see only their own company.
What does management see in the morning?
One picture: headcount, what is happening in hiring, who joined this week, attendance, what is waiting for a signature, and the wellbeing budget against plan. All on one screen, without asking anyone for a report.
Do you also offer an HR service, not just software?
Yes. The HRBP team of Merav HR, led by Merav Sella, runs outsourced HR: ongoing part-time or full-time, as maternity leave cover, or as a focused project. The system is included in the service, and everything the team does stays recorded in your account.
What happens if we decide to leave?
Your data can be exported at any time, including signed documents and their full record. There is no technical lock-in and no waiting period. You can also install the system on your own server from the start.
