How current is the org chart?

The org chart is built dynamically from the live employee data, so it reflects the current state whenever someone updates their manager or department. Daily snapshots are saved for historical reference.

Can I use the directory to find people with specific skills?

Yes. The skills search lets you find employees tagged with specific expertise. This is useful for finding internal subject-matter experts and assembling cross-functional teams.

Can the directory integrate with our HRMS?

Yes. Describe your HRMS (Workday, BambooHR, etc.) in your prompt and ProjectCode generates a sync connector that pulls employee data on a schedule.

The Challenge

Why building a Employee Directory from scratch is hard

Building a Employee Directory & Org Chart from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing employee directory-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Searchable employee profiles with photo, role, and contact info

Interactive org chart with drill-down and zoom

Skills and expertise tagging for internal talent search

Office and remote status indicators

Direct reports and peer network view

Birthday and work anniversary notifications

Department and location filters

Export to CSV and org chart PDF

Architecture

How it's built

The generated Employee Directory follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for employee directory workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated employee directory modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all employee directory entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live employee directory status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Employee Directory

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

employees (id, user_id, display_name, title, department_id, manager_id, location, office, hire_date, photo_url, bio, skills jsonb, status)
departments (id, name, head_id, parent_id, color, description)
locations (id, name, address, timezone, country, office_type)
org_snapshots (id, created_at, tree_data jsonb, employee_count, workspace_id)
