Onboarding and employee management
Paperless onboarding
Give your new employees a great experience before they start. Employment Hero makes onboarding simple with digital offer letters and e-Contracts that can be signed from any device. New hires can enter personal details, super, and tax info through their Employment Hero account, eliminating first-day paperwork.
Employment contracts
HR compliance is key, and we provide a range of compliant employment contracts reviewed by our HR specialists and employment lawyers. Choose the right contract, modify as needed, add your logo, and send it for an electronic signature. Each e-signature has an audit trail to ensure it’s legally binding.
Electronic employee files
Our employee files give an overview of details such as leave requests, performance reviews, and tax information. Employees can update their personal details themselves, like address changes, without bothering you.
Unlimited online support
Employment Hero offers several forms of support if you need help navigating the platform. HaRi, our HR bot, guides you through the basics, Hero Academy offers training webinars, our Help Library has numerous articles, and our Support Team is available via email.
Employee app
The Employment Hero mobile app lets employees manage leave and timesheets, view policies and contracts, and access a staff directory. Eligible employees can use InstaPay to access earned wages before payday. The app is available on iOS and Android. *Australia only.
Recruitment features.
Interview scheduling through Calendly
Employment Hero allows you to connect our software to your Calendly account and schedule candidate interviews directly from Employment Hero. Simplifying the way you schedule candidate interviews, and saving you time while improving the candidates’ user journey.
Seamless candidate onboarding
Our Recruitment Management feature allows you to post job openings and manage all applicants that applied to a job posting. It also allows you to add collaborators to a specific hiring stage; choose a hiring manager who can manage the entire hiring process, and comment on an applicant’s progress – keeping your hiring notes in one place.
Candidate pools and tags
The Candidate Pool feature lets you view all candidates who have applied for your open roles, with the ability to filter the list by status or name. You can also use this feature to see candidate profiles, including their phone number and resume, and easily transfer a candidate to a different role.
Recruitment workflows
Whether your business is rapidly expanding or your industry experiences high turnover, save hours of admin work with custom hiring workflows tailored to specific roles, teams, or locations. These workflows automatically generate the necessary steps, hiring team, and more each time you create a new listing.
Job board integration
Reach a large audience by posting job ads to multiple job boards simultaneously. Instead of posting individual listings on each site, broadcast your job ad to your choice of 24 popular sites (including Indeed, LinkedIn, Jora, and SEEK) and manage everything from Employment Hero. Don’t see your favourite site? Just request the integration, and we’ll take care of it.
Your own careers page
Employment Hero gathers all your listings on your personalised careers page, accessible through the platform or embedded on your website. Each careers page also includes a unique QR code, allowing potential hires to view your open roles from anywhere using their smartphone.
Hiring team collaboration
When it comes to hiring top talent, every minute counts. That’s why having everything in one accessible place is so important. Manage your hiring process by designating platform users as recruiters, hiring managers, and collaborators. These customisable teams can then access and share CVs, applications, interview notes, and feedback all within Employment Hero.
