Prodoo Feature Snapshot: Transparent Employee Tracking Made Simple
In today’s competitive work environment, recruiters and business managers face constant challenges in managing distributed teams, freelancers, and full-time employees effectively. One of the most common issues companies face is the lack of transparency in employee productivity, working hours, and wage calculations. This is especially true for remote setups where face-to-face supervision isn’t possible.
To solve this problem, Prodoo has introduced a powerful feature called Snapshot — a tool designed to give recruiters complete clarity over their employees’ working hours, salary calculation, and workflow through automatically captured screenshots every five minutes.
This innovative feature is transforming how recruiters manage and trust their teams by ensuring accuracy, transparency, and accountability at every stage of work.
Why Transparency Matters in the Modern Workplace
The rise of remote and hybrid work has created massive opportunities, but it has also brought new challenges:
- Uncertainty in productivity – Employers often wonder whether employees are spending their logged hours on actual work.
- Disputes over salaries – Freelancers and employees may claim more hours than worked, while employers risk underpaying due to inaccurate time logs.
- Communication gaps – Without visibility, recruiters may miss opportunities to give feedback or provide direction in real-time.
Prodoo Snapshot directly addresses these challenges by giving recruiters a transparent way to see exactly how employees are working, track hours effortlessly, and ensure fair pay for all.
How the Prodoo Snapshot Feature Works
Prodoo has designed Snapshot to be simple, effective, and unobtrusive, allowing recruiters to monitor without micromanaging.
Here’s a breakdown of how it functions:
1. Time Tracking
Employees log in to the Prodoo platform and start their work session. Every minute of their activity is automatically recorded. Recruiters get a clear view of:
- Total working hours logged daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Time spent on specific tasks or projects.
- Idle time versus active time.
This ensures recruiters have a reliable record of work hours without the need for manual timesheets.
2. Screenshots Every 5 Minutes
To ensure fairness and prevent discrepancies, Prodoo captures screenshots of employees’ screens every five minutes. These images serve as proof of activity and give recruiters insight into:
- What tasks employees are working on.
- Whether time logged matches actual work done.
- Patterns of productivity throughout the day.
The screenshots are taken automatically and stored securely, striking a balance between accountability and trust.
3. Salary Calculation According to Hours
For recruiters, payroll accuracy is critical. Prodoo integrates the Snapshot data directly into salary calculations:
- Employees are paid based on the actual hours worked.
- Recruiters can set hourly rates within the platform.
- Prodoo automatically multiplies the tracked hours with the hourly rate to give a clear and transparent salary figure.
This removes disputes, saves time, and ensures everyone is fairly compensated.
4. Easy Access for Recruiters
All the data collected by Snapshot is available in a recruiter’s dashboard. With just a few clicks, they can:
- View total hours worked by each employee.
- Check corresponding salaries.
- Browse screenshots to validate productivity.
- Generate reports for internal use or audits.
Key Benefits of Prodoo Snapshot
The Snapshot feature isn’t just a tool — it’s a game-changer for recruiters and businesses. Let’s look at the benefits in detail:
1. Clear Accountability
Employees know that their time is being recorded and screenshots are taken every five minutes. This encourages them to stay focused and committed during work hours. Recruiters, on the other hand, get the peace of mind of knowing they’re paying for actual work.
2. Fair Compensation
Salary disputes are eliminated. Every hour worked is recorded, and employees get paid exactly for their contribution. This fosters trust between recruiters and employees while reducing friction.
3. Improved Productivity
With time tracking and screenshots, employees become more conscious of their work patterns. Recruiters can identify productivity bottlenecks and provide support where needed. This leads to a culture of continuous improvement.
4. Reduced Micromanagement
Recruiters no longer need to check in constantly or request updates. Prodoo Snapshot provides real-time visibility, allowing managers to focus on strategy instead of chasing team updates.
5. Data-Driven Insights
The Snapshot reports help recruiters analyze:
- Who the top performers are.
- Which projects consume the most time.
- Whether workload distribution is balanced.
These insights allow smarter decision-making and more effective resource allocation.
Addressing Privacy Concerns
While screenshots every five minutes might sound intrusive, Prodoo ensures the system is transparent, ethical, and respectful of employee privacy.
- Employees are aware of when screenshots are taken.
- Screenshots focus only on the work environment, not personal activity.
- Data is stored securely and used only for work-related validation.
This balance ensures trust and accountability while still respecting employee dignity.
Real-World Applications of Prodoo Snapshot
Snapshot can be applied across industries and work types, making it a flexible solution for recruiters managing different kinds of teams.
- Freelance Management

Even in traditional office setups, Snapshot can help HR teams maintain transparency, especially for hybrid employees or project-based roles.
