HR Plugin
Talent management and performance reviews in Claude Cowork
Overview
The HR Plugin is a Stratafy-native Cowork extension that brings human resources workflows — recruiting, onboarding, people analytics, and performance management — into the governed AI workspace. AI agents equipped with the HR Plugin can assist with candidate screening, generate onboarding checklists, analyze workforce trends, and support performance review cycles, all under strict governance controls.
Within the Stratafy workspace, the HR Plugin enforces the most stringent access controls of any Cowork plugin. Personnel data including compensation, performance reviews, and personal information is subject to privacy regulations and organizational confidentiality requirements. The plugin ensures that AI agents can only access HR data appropriate for their role — a hiring manager sees candidate information for their team while organization-wide workforce analytics are restricted to HR leadership.
Governed AI in the HR domain is non-negotiable. Personnel data is protected by employment law, privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA), and ethical obligations. An ungoverned AI agent with access to HR systems could expose salary data, bias hiring decisions, or mishandle sensitive employee information. The HR Plugin ensures that AI-assisted people operations maintain the privacy, fairness, and compliance standards that the domain requires.
Key Features
Use Cases
Workspace Use Cases
Strategic Workforce Planning
An AI agent analyzes current team composition against upcoming strategic initiatives, identifies capability gaps, and recommends hiring priorities. The analysis connects workforce data to strategy execution capacity, helping leadership allocate people resources to the highest-impact initiatives.
Recruiting Pipeline Optimization
During an active hiring push, an agent tracks candidate pipeline status across open positions, identifies bottlenecks in the interview process, generates standardized screening criteria aligned with role requirements, and surfaces candidates who match multiple open positions.
Onboarding Experience Coordination
When a new team member joins, an AI agent generates a personalized onboarding plan, identifies relevant documentation and key contacts, schedules introductory meetings with stakeholders, and tracks completion of onboarding milestones — all scoped to information appropriate for the new hire role.
Retention Risk Analysis
An agent analyzes workforce signals — tenure patterns, engagement indicators, market compensation benchmarks, and team change frequency — to identify retention risks. Insights are surfaced to appropriate managers with recommended actions, while individual-level data remains restricted to authorized HR personnel.
Integrations
Considerations
- HR data contains extensive PII including social security numbers, addresses, medical information, and financial details — AI agent access must be minimized to only specific data fields required for the task with no caching or retention
- AI-assisted HR decisions must comply with employment law and anti-discrimination regulations, with governance including bias detection and fairness auditing for AI-generated recommendations
- GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations impose specific requirements on personal data processing — the plugin must ensure compliance with applicable privacy frameworks and preservation of data subject rights
- Performance reviews, compensation data, and disciplinary records require strict access boundaries — role-based access controls must be granular enough to reflect organizational confidentiality practices
- Every AI interaction with HR data must be fully auditable as a legal requirement in many jurisdictions, capturing what data was accessed, by whom, for what purpose, and what outputs were generated
Stratafy Fit
The HR Plugin demonstrates why Stratafy governance-first approach is essential for sensitive domains. Human resources data carries legal, ethical, and regulatory obligations that make ungoverned AI access unacceptable. As a native Cowork plugin, the HR Plugin enforces granular role-based access controls that reflect the complex confidentiality requirements of people operations, maintains comprehensive audit trails required by employment law, and provides bias detection capabilities for AI-assisted HR recommendations. Organizations can deploy AI agents for HR workflows with confidence that privacy regulations are respected, confidentiality boundaries are maintained, and every AI interaction with personnel data is traceable.
