Don’t just take it from us...

“I've used HRIS systems throughout my whole career, so I knew what I wanted and what wasn't going to work for us. One of the things that made me really enthusiastic about Employment Hero was the survey features, and the coaching options.”

Stef Moser, People & Culture Manager at HUD Studio

“Employment Hero enhances the onboarding experience because it's just so convenient. Successful candidates can read documents from their screen, sign it directly and it just gets saved to their profile.”

Mel Tan, Group Services Manager

“This system has greatly simplified and streamlined our employee onboarding procedures, significantly reducing the reliance on paper-based documentation.”

Monette Gildenhuys, Senior People & Culture Advisor at Santa Fe Shutters Limited

“If we had to add another 50 staff tomorrow, I know it wouldn’t cause any strain on anyone today. We’ve got our recruitment, onboarding and training processes all set up with Employment Hero.”

Imran Khan, North Island Regional Manager at Mevo

“When we have a casual employee start, all I do is set them up either beforehand, or on the day. Then the process of gathering payroll information on the first day takes about 10 minutes and they're completely compliant.”

Naina Gupta, HR Manager at Behemoth Brewing Company
