The main function of Human Resource Management is very critical to organisational performance, and among the various activities carried out by people managers, recruitment, attendance, and payroll are the issues that employees interact with directly. This paper aimed to assess the efficiency of these three functions in a software development and IT services company. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population was 100 employees. Data was collected from the sample using a five-point Likert Google Forms questionnaire. Convenience sampling was used to select the sample from the target population. Statistical analysis was done using percentage analysis, descriptive statistics, pearson’s correlation, and chi-square test. The study revealed that the employees have a positive perception towards the recruitment process, attendance, and payroll process. Each of the three variables had a mean score above the average point and had a good Cronbach’s Alpha ranging between 0.708 to 0.812. There was a statistically significant correlation between the three variables, with the two process having the highest correlation (r = 0.676, p < 0.001).</mark> The chi-square test showed that gender is not a predicting factor of one’s perception of the recruitment process. The study recommends the combination of the three human resource management functions in an integrative information system to enhance employee satisfaction and achievement.
