Build your Employee Directory with AI in under 5 minutes

What is a employee directory?

An employee directory is the answer to 'who handles X?' that every growing company needs and most fail to maintain. The category got crowded during the remote-work era (BambooHR, Pingboard, Worksome) but most teams already have employee data in Google Workspace, HRIS, or Slack — the directory is a thin presentation layer over data that lives elsewhere. Building your own lets you present the directory the way your team actually thinks (by skill, by project, by 'who can do code review on the iOS app'), pull data from the existing source of truth, and skip the per-seat pricing that turns a 50-person team into a $300/month line item. The shape is small: search, profile pages, org tree, filters. The variant detail is where teams differ — what shows up on the profile, who sees what, when the data refreshes.

Common features

• Search by name, role, department, skill
• Profile page with photo, role, team, contact, manager
• Org chart visualisation with collapsible nodes
• Department / team / location filters
• Skills tags so 'who knows X' is a one-search answer
• Manager / report relationships with quick navigation
• Pronouns and personal-introduction blurb
• Calendar availability / timezone display
• Recent activity (optional) — recent docs, posts, talks
• SSO with the company's identity provider

Why FloopFloop fits employee directory projects

Off-the-shelf employee-directory SaaS charges per seat and locks the data behind a separate login. The data lives elsewhere anyway — Google Directory, your HRIS, your Slack workspace. FloopFloop lets you build the directory layer over the source of truth, with the team's specific search filters and profile fields, hosted behind your SSO. The team finds people faster; the price doesn't scale with headcount; the public marketing-site team page can read from the same underlying data so it doesn't drift out of sync.
