Atlassian Confluence and Trello Software for HR

Hi everyone,


Is anyone here using Atlassian tools like Confluence or Trello to support HR processes? I’ve come across some impressive examples of employee onboarding and policy pages on Trello’s website, but I don’t personally know anyone who’s actively using these tools for their HR needs.


If you are using them, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and any feedback you’d be willing to share.


Thank you!

  • Hi Emma
    I have seen them used as HR Tools in the past, and it's great if you're a small startup and not yet ready for a full HR system.  I'd also include Notion in that list.

    As always, the answer to whether they are suitable is 'it depends', how many employees, locations, countries, etc.
    Do you want people to see everything or only things that are relevant to them? 
    Are you also seeking compliance - yes they have definately done it, or is it more for information... 

    What is it you really want to achieve by using such a tool?  

    Happy to chat as HR tech is very much my lane Slight smile

  • Hi Deborah. I completely agree that tools like Trello, Confluence and Notion can be brilliant for smaller teams or early‑stage organisations. I’ve used Trello and ClickUp for simple onboarding flows and tracking tasks, and they worked well as long as access levels were planned carefully.

    From your experience, have you noticed any specific tipping point where teams outgrow these lighter tools and need something more robust?
