How HeroForce works
Employment Handled. You Stay in Control.
We handle the employment, you handle the team. We’re the legal employer on paper, but you remain in charge of who gets hired, what they work on and how it gets done.
We keep up with the rules, so you don’t have to.
State rules, country regulations, contractor classifications, tax thresholds – employment requirements constantly shift. Keeping pace can feel like a full time job, and missing something can be expensive. HeroForce handles it all for you.
Slash the real costs of being an employer
Being an employer means absorbing the costs, compliance and admin that come with it – it all adds up well beyond a salary. HeroForce is typically 34% cheaper than direct employment and up to 80% less than labour hire, for a transparent fee of just 5% of payroll processed.
