For CARF-Accredited Organizations in Canada and the US
HR Software Built for CARF-Accredited Organizations
When surveyors ask for personnel files, the answer should take minutes, not a week. Sincron HR Pro keeps job descriptions, credentials, training and performance reviews in one place, set up around your policies by a consultant during a free 60-day trial.
Quick Summary
CARF-accredited organizations are surveyed on how they hire, train, credential and evaluate their people, and the evidence usually lives in spreadsheets and filing cabinets. Sincron HR Pro brings it into one secure system, connects hiring to Indeed, and keeps your current payroll. A consultant configures it around your own policies during a free 60-day Implementation Trial, and you can walk away at any point at no cost. Nonprofits save 50% on Go Live and 20% on the subscription.

Why Do CARF-Accredited Organizations Need HR Software Built for Them?
CARF surveys don't stop at programs. Under the Workforce Development and Management standards, surveyors look at how you plan your workforce, write and update job descriptions, onboard new staff, verify competencies and credentials, and evaluate performance. They pull a sample of personnel files to see it. Generic HR software stores the paperwork. Sincron HR Pro is organized around the evidence, so the file a surveyor asks for is already complete.
This applies whether you're accredited through CARF International in the US or CARF Canada. A CARF surveyor on our team understands both, along with Community Living, Ministry of Children and Families, and equivalent US state reporting.
How Does Sincron HR Pro Keep Personnel Files Survey-Ready?
Every employee has one secure e-file: contract, job description, signed acknowledgements, policies, licences, training records and reviews. Role-based permissions control who sees what, and the platform is built to support PIPEDA, HIPAA and GDPR.
- Job descriptions that stay current. A skills library ties competencies, tasks and duties to each job description, and the same profile drives hiring and performance reviews.
- Files you can pull in minutes. Every site's files live in one system, so nobody opens binders at each location.
- One record per person across programs. Separate contracts for each role, program or grant sit in the same file.
Never Miss a Licence or Certification Renewal
Certification and licence tracking with renewal alerts flags expiries before they lapse, not during the survey. The built-in Training (LMS) module records courses delivered in person, hybrid or as e-learning, with completions and required certifications stored on the employee's record. Staff also get 24/7 access to the Sincron Learning Hub.
Performance Reviews and Competencies, Documented
Annual appraisals, 360-degree feedback, KPIs and goals are scheduled and recorded in the system. Gaps found in a review become Individual Development Plans with specific training, which also gives you succession data for the workforce planning section of your survey.

How Does Sincron HR Pro Help Us Hire Faster?
CARF-accredited agencies hire frontline clinical, residential and job-coach staff all year. Sincron HR is a global partner of Indeed and the latest edition of the recruitment module (ATS) runs on the latest Indeed API, so recruitment and applicant tracking in Sincron HR Pro connect directly with Indeed's global job board. Structured onboarding then takes each new hire through the orientation, policy sign-offs and training your standards require, and records it as it happens.

Can It Handle Complex Leave, Scheduling and Grant Time?
Yes. Time and leave tracking with shift scheduling, and a team availability calendar, cover multi-site and 24/7 programs. Staff time can be tracked by grant or program, so funder reports and payroll match. Volunteers are managed alongside paid staff in the same system.
We're also upgrading the timebank module for organizations with more complex leave tracking and reporting needs, so leave balances and reports keep up as your policies get more detailed. Ask about the timing in your demo.
Will It Work With Our Microsoft 365 and Payroll?
Microsoft 365 single sign-on, Outlook calendar and Teams integration are standard. Sincron HR Pro doesn’t replace your payroll; it works alongside the provider you already use. Its open API connects to multiple payroll providers, such as Sage 300 ERP and Sage X3, to send HR and time data. Employees use it from any device through their browser, with an app-like home-screen icon set up during onboarding.
What Support Do We Get?
A dedicated consultant configures Sincron HR Pro around your current policies during the free 60-day Implementation Trial, trains your team and pilots it with your own staff before go-live. After that, three options are there when you need them:
- CARF accreditation guidance from a CARF surveyor on our team, plus compliance assistance and policy and procedure development, billed at our consulting rate.
- Virtual HR for organizations with up to 20 staff and no dedicated HR administrator: our HR team runs it with you for a flat monthly fee.
- Post-implementation support and training for new administrators as your team changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What HR documentation do CARF surveyors look for?

No software can guarantee accreditation, because CARF surveys your whole organization. Sincron HR Pro keeps the workforce evidence organized and current, and a CARF surveyor on our team is available for accreditation guidance at our consulting rate.
