Typically, this study focuses on identifying the effectiveness of human resource information system performance. Data were collected by using questionnaires and documentary approach, a researcher ought to collect data from population size of 105 respondents but only 103 respondents succeeded to fill and return questionnaire to the researcher. This study is a qualitative and quantitative study and data were analysed through multiple regression analysis. The study revealed that online human resource planning, online human resource selection and online human resource recruitment have influenced effectiveness of human resource information system performance.
