Company profile
researched Aug 2026ChartHop offers a people operations platform built around a central store of employee and job data that connects to a company's existing HR, recruiting and finance systems. The platform provides an interactive org chart with a timeline slider, employee profiles showing job, compensation and equity history, a spreadsheet-style data sheet with calculations and live sync to Google Sheets or Excel, a map view of office and remote locations, a company calendar, and AI-powered dashboards for people analytics.
Beyond the core platform, ChartHop sells modules including HRIS, Headcount Planning, Compensation, Performance, Engagement and Goals, plus ChartHop AI Pro. Headcount Planning supports drag-and-drop scenario modeling on the org chart, configurable approval workflows spanning HR, finance and leadership, real-time budget dashboards, and pushing approved requisitions to applicant tracking systems such as Ashby, Greenhouse, Jobvite and Lever. ChartHop does not process payroll; instead it integrates with payroll providers including ADP and Gusto, with a two-way sync for ADP Workforce Now. A conversational assistant, Ask ChartHop, answers questions, fills out forms, models org changes and automates repeatable tasks using connected people and business data, and is available on the web and through an iOS mobile app.
Founding story
Founder and CEO Ian White has said he started ChartHop to create greater transparency and alignment in organizations, building the platform he wished he had had when scaling a previous company he founded, instead of pulling data manually into spreadsheets.
Business model
Software-as-a-service sold to organizations, with a core platform plus optional modules (HRIS, Headcount Planning, Compensation, Performance, Engagement, Goals, ChartHop AI Pro) that can be bundled or, in the case of Headcount Planning, adopted standalone.
Subscription sales of the people operations platform and its modules to companies; the company states it quadrupled revenue between its 2021 Series B and January 2023.
Traction
Between the 2021 Series B and January 2023 the company reported quadrupling revenue and active users and tripling paying customers and headcount. Public customer references include Truework, 1Password, Sweetgreen, Altruist, Remy Cointreau, Wistia, Movable Ink, Zip and Headspace.
Latest developments
Recent product work centers on AI: AI-powered dashboards and insights, the Ask ChartHop conversational assistant with advanced AI actions, voice and custom agents, and file uploads in the mobile app. An August 2026 product update describes Microsoft Teams support, AI-generated surveys, manager calibration views and a faster importer.

Market position
Competes in the people analytics, HRIS and workforce planning software market, contrasting itself with all-in-one HR suites and dedicated people analytics tools.
Positions itself as an intelligence layer on top of existing HR, ATS and finance systems rather than an all-in-one suite with platform lock-in, emphasizing a flexible data model, open API and granular permissioning, and the ability to analyze workforce data alongside business data.
Technology
A structured but extensible people data model with built-in fields and calculations for base and variable compensation, levels and bands, and equity, extended by 16 types of custom fields. Configurable access controls restrict views and data points by role, department, location or area. The product exposes a modern REST API with read and write endpoints and an open integration model, and includes AI features for dashboards, insights, survey creation and conversational queries.
Go-to-market
Direct sales motion centered on booked product demos, supported by customer stories, feature tours, blog content and resources on the company site.
HR, people operations, talent acquisition, finance and leadership teams, plus managers and employees.
