An Intelligent HR Management System Incorporating GPS Attendance and Applicant Tracking Automation

Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) bring multiple HR activities—such as recruitment, employee data handling, payroll processing, training, and performance evaluation—into one unified software environment. This research paper introduces an enhanced HRMS model designed for medium and large organizations, featuring two major functionalities: a location-based attendance mechanism that records employee presence through geo-tagging or geofencing, and an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that streamlines the hiring process from application to selection. The work explains the goals, modular structure, and architecture of the proposed system, along with secure database design, workflow logic, and the integration of attendance automation with recruitment management. It also covers the development phases, interface design, system testing, and the methods used to evaluate system performance. Additionally, the paper discusses security considerations, especially around handling location data, and outlines future improvements such as cloud-based deployment and AI-powered analytics for recruitment and workforce insights.
