Employment Hero
Who we are
We built the world’s first Employment Operating System. An end-to-end system built to make employment easier for everyone. Helping over 350k businesses worldwide hire great people and manage everything from hiring, HR and payroll, through to rewards, recognition and offboarding —all automated behind the scenes. And for the 2M+ employees and job seekers, Employment OS is their work passport to unlock great job opportunities, manage work admin and grow their career.
How we operate
Six principles that aren’t on a poster. They’re in every decision we make, every product we ship, and every hire we bring on board.
01. AI First
We build with AI, not around it. Every product decision, every workflow, every hire needs to think AI-first or think again.
02. Mission First
Making employment easier for everyone isn’t a tagline. It’s the filter for every feature, every decision, every conversation.
03. Remote First
We don’t tolerate remote, we’re built for it. Async by default. Outcomes over hours. Work from wherever you do your best thinking.
04. Apolitical
We keep politics out of the workplace so everyone can focus on the work. No factions. No internal politics. Just shipping great product.
05. Real values
We Serve. We Are One Team. We Are Bold. We Invent. Own It. These aren’t aspirational — they’re behavioural expectations.
06. High performance
Every hire either strengthens the rocket or adds weight to it. We expect a lot because we’re building something that matters.
Our Values
What we think, believe and hold dear.
We believe employment can be better for everyone. That belief drives us to build things that actually change lives.
Diverse backgrounds, shared mission. Collaboration isn’t a soft skill here, it’s how we win.
Our favourite question is “what if?” We challenge industry norms and expect our people to do the same.
We celebrate the attempts, not just the wins. Breaking things in the pursuit of better ideas is part of the deal. Take the risk.
You don’t need permission to solve a problem. Heroes take ownership of the outcome, not just the task. Back yourself.
Your best career move – ever.
There’s never been a more exciting time to join our mission – to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone.
We are AI first
From day one as a Hero, you’ll work alongside AI tools built into the Employment OS and our workflows. We don’t bolt AI on top. We build with it from the ground up, solving problems from first principles. We ship over a thousand features a year and move faster than any team of our size has any right to.
If you’re the kind of person who gets genuinely excited about what AI can do next, you’ll fit right in.
Oh and coming up…
Once a year, every Hero from around the world lands in the same place for our Annual Global Gathering. This year, it’s the Gold Coast. Sun, surf, and a hundreds people building the future of work together. Want to join us?
