Everything you need to know about cutting edge hiring software
From hire to retire, Employment Hero is the world’s first AI Employment Operating System. It offers all-in-one software for businesses to manage their own teams, alongside HeroForce, a managed service that provides the legal infrastructure to find, hire and employ talent in 180+ countries. Whether you manage your own workforce or use HeroForce to scale, we handle the contracts, payroll and compliance so you can focus on growth.
Employment Hero supports SMEs and growing organisations across almost every industry — from healthcare, IT and software, startups, manufacturing, marketing and advertising, retail, hospitality, childcare and education, to business services, legal, accounting, freight and logistics, construction, and more. It’s built for businesses that want employment handled for them — not just software to manage.
Yes, Employment Hero integrates with many different platforms, depending on the software you are implementing. You can find out which integrations are compatible and best suited to your business, depending on which Employment Hero product you’re using, on our integrations page.
HeroForce is our “Shared Employment Infrastructure.” While our software helps you manage your own employees, HeroForce allows you to hire and employ talent; locally, globally, or on-demand, using our legal entities. We handle the contracts, payroll, and compliance, while you manage the day-to-day work.
HeroForce acts as the legal Employer of Record. This means we take on the legal responsibility and administrative burden of employment, allowing you to scale your team without the complexity of setting up new entities or managing fragmented local payroll systems.
Employment Hero uses advanced encryption protocols, multi-factor authentication, and regular security audits to ensure strict data protection, guaranteeing that our clients’ information remains secure, confidential, and protected from unauthorised access.
Simply navigate over to your portal by entering your account details into the form found on the sign in page. Your account details are the password and email address you used during the creation of your account.
Employment Hero offers a range of pricing plans designed to suit different business sizes and needs.
Each plan includes access to various features tailored to simplify HR processes and improve business efficiency. Additionally, Employment Hero offers tailored enterprise solutions for businesses with unique needs, and the pricing for these is available upon request.
For more detailed information on what each plan includes and any potential additional costs, please visit our pricing page.
The Employment Hero Work app revolutionises how employees manage their work and finances, and employers manage their teams by consolidating everything into one versatile superapp. The app is made up of 4 sections – Work, Money, Career and Benefits, and lets employees simplify their financial management and leave requests, while employers can efficiently manage leave approvals, contracts, and other tasks.
Employment Hero uses AI to help run everyday employment workflows for you – from hiring and onboarding to HR and payroll tasks. Instead of just showing you information, our AI helps take action: surfacing what needs attention, automating routine steps, and reducing manual admin across the employment lifecycle.
Your data is handled securely and responsibly. Employment Hero is built with enterprise-grade security, strict access controls, and privacy protections to keep your employee information safe.
