HR Genie (SkillMind) AI features and pricing (October 2026)

HR Genie is an HR and payroll system from SkillMind in Nairobi, built around Kenyan statutory payroll. It adds AI for payroll anomaly detection, workforce forecasts, draft HR documents and candidate scoring across nine modules.

HR Genie combines nine modules: core HR records, payroll, leave, attendance with biometric and geo-tagged clock-in, recruitment, appraisals, training, travel and expenses, and asset tracking. Payroll handles Kenyan PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the Housing Levy, runs more than 50 validation checks before each run and produces KRA returns such as the P10. The vendor, SkillMind Software Ltd, is based in Nairobi and also sells ERP, CRM and IT services; it states that more than 5,000 employees are managed on HR Genie. The vendor addresses SMEs, midsize organizations and large enterprises; the product fits Kenyan employers that run payroll in house.

• Flags payroll and attendance anomaliesHR Genie checks records for unusual overtime, inconsistent attendance logs, duplicate employee files, payroll mismatches and suspicious claims. Payroll staff catch errors and possible fraud before a run is paid rather than in a later audit.
• Forecasts leave pressure and turnover riskThe system uses aggregated HR data to predict periods of high leave, pockets of turnover risk, performance dips and skill gaps. HR managers can plan staffing and training earlier, according to the vendor.
• Drafts HR documentsGenerative AI drafts interview score summaries, performance review notes, disciplinary documentation, job descriptions and explanations of payroll variances. HR staff start from a draft instead of a blank page and keep wording consistent across departments.
• Parses and scores Kenyan resumesThe recruitment module parses resumes with Kenyan qualifications such as KCSE results, CPA(K) and CPS(K) and scores candidates on skills and fit. Recruiters get a sorted list, while the hiring decision stays with them.

• Payroll is built specifically for Kenyan statutory deductions and KRA returns, including SHIF and the Housing Levy.
• Nine modules can be licensed individually, from payroll to travel, expenses and asset tracking.
• The vendor is a broader software and IT services company, so HR Genie sits next to its ERP and CRM products.

SkillMind is headquartered in Nairobi. HR Genie is built around Kenyan statutory deductions such as PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the Housing Levy and produces KRA returns such as the P10.

HR Genie is designed for Kenya, so it only suits employers elsewhere if their Kenyan payroll runs on it. Ask where data is hosted, because the website names no region, and which AI features run on your own data. The privacy policy follows Kenya's Data Protection Act. Candidate scoring counts as high risk under the EU AI Act for recruitment in the EU from December 2, 2027. Prices come only after a demo.
