Employment Hero accelerates your hiring cycles with a built-in applicant tracking system and smart sourcing tools. Founders and lean teams can post job ads across multiple platforms in one click and use AI features to automatically screen and shortlist candidates. This eliminates manual portfolio and CV filtering, letting you secure high-growth talent ahead of competitors.

Employment Hero replaces scattered paperwork with a unified digital pre-boarding pipeline. New hires sign contracts, submit IRD tax declarations and accept company policies securely on their phone before day one. Because all data flows instantly into your live central database, you can scale your headcount consistently without multiplying your coordination workload.

Employment Hero connects employee profiles, leave tracking and payroll onto a single platform. Staff manage their own personal updates, leave requests and payslips through the mobile app, wiping out daily admin for founders and operations leads. Approved data syncs directly with your pay runs, eliminating data entry so you can stay lean for longer.

Employment Hero embeds professional development directly into your startup culture. The platform automatically schedules feedback cycles, tracks individual goals alongside company milestones and locks in recurring 1:1 agendas. This ensures your engineers, creatives and builders feel supported and clearly see their progression path as the business evolves.
