About the HR App

Cohort is an HR app UI design template built around a "Quiet Operations" aesthetic: a warm paper-white canvas, deep slate text, and a single muted sage accent reserved for primary actions and positive status, with a soft clay tone flagging anything that needs attention. There are no heavy card borders or drop shadows; surfaces sit as inset panels separated by faint paper-tone shifts and hairline rules, while large thin tabular numerals keep headcounts, balances, and dates aligned in tidy columns.

The template ships seven connected screens that cover a full people-team workflow: a Dashboard with a greeting and hero stats, a searchable People Directory, an Employee Profile with compensation and tabs, an Approvals queue, a Time Off calendar with balances, an Org Chart tree, and a new-hire Onboarding checklist. A signature people-chip recurs throughout, a circular headshot paired with a tracked-out role label and a status dot (green active, clay pending, grey out-of-office), so the whole product feels populated with real humans.

Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the flows your HR product needs. Then export it to code, copy it into Figma, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it for real, far faster than starting from a blank canvas.

Screens included

Dashboard

A personalized "Good morning, Priya" greeting over a hero stat row (142 employees, 6 open roles, pending approvals), a "Needs your attention" panel of approval people-chips, and an "Out today" list. The HR manager's daily command center.

People Directory

A searchable, filterable list of people-chips with role labels, status dots, and locations, plus department filter pills across the top. The fast way to find anyone in the company.

Employee Profile

A large header chip with Actions and Message buttons, tabs for Overview, Pay, Docs, and Time Off, and a compensation block showing base salary and equity in tidy tabular numerals.

Org Chart

An expandable tree of people-chips showing reporting lines from the CEO down through VPs, managers, and individual contributors. Makes team structure clear at a glance.

Approvals

A queue of expense and time-off requests as inset panels with requester chips, amounts, context, and Approve (sage) or Decline (ghost) actions, split into Pending and History tabs. Keeps decisions moving.

Time Off

A balance summary for vacation and sick days, a month calendar marking booked days in sage and pending requests in clay, and a request history list. Self-service leave at a glance.

Onboarding

A new-hire checklist for Daniel Reyes with a progress bar (4 of 9 tasks), required-action items with completed, overdue, and waiting states, plus a Team & IT section with assignees. Tracks every step of week one.

Questions, answered. Everything to know before you start.

How do I build an HR app from this template?

Click "Use this template" to open Cohort in Sleek as your own editable project, then shape it by describing the changes you want: restyle the palette, edit any screen, and add the flows your product needs. You start from seven complete screens instead of a blank canvas, so you reach a working HR app UI design far faster.

What screens are included in this HR app UI design template?

Seven connected screens: Dashboard, People Directory, Employee Profile, Approvals, Time Off, Org Chart, and Onboarding. Together they cover the core flow of a people-management app, from approving requests to tracking leave and onboarding new hires.

Can I customize the HR app UI design?

Yes. Use the template in Sleek and edit any screen by chatting with the AI: change the palette, adjust layouts, swap labels, and add or remove flows. There's no manual redraw; you describe the change and it's applied.

Is this HR management app UI suitable for a people platform or internal tool?

Absolutely. The directory, approvals, time-off, org chart, and onboarding screens map cleanly onto HRIS products, internal people tools, and team-management apps. Adjust the fields and statuses to fit your organization.

Can I export the design to code or Figma?

Yes. Sleek exports your design as code, copies straight into Figma with no plugin, or hands you a ready-made prompt that an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor can use to build it into a real, working app.

Is this HR app design template free to use?

You can open and explore the design for free, then use it in your own Sleek project to build on it. Editing and exporting follow Sleek's standard plans.
