Your firm runs on people. We help you manage them
Fast-moving businesses need people operations to match. Employment Hero keeps your people operations just as sharp, with compliant payroll, AI-powered hiring and the HR infrastructure to scale globally.
What’s holding your people-strategy back?
PAIN POINT #1
Hiring top talent across borders means massive overhead
Fast-growing finance firms need access to global talent to scale. But setting up foreign legal entities, navigating international tax laws and managing overseas payroll from the UK is slow, expensive and high-risk.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
HeroForce acts as your Employer of Record, letting you hire and pay offshore talent in new markets within weeks, all while managing compliance from a single platform.
PAIN POINT #2
Compliance in a heavily scrutinised sector
Financial services firms in the UK face intense regulatory oversight, particularly around UK GDPR obligations, strict record-keeping and statutory holiday pay compliance. Manual processes leave dangerous compliance gaps.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Maintain complete, audit-ready employment records with granular access controls, full audit trails and SOC 2 certified data security built to satisfy internal risk teams and external auditors.
PAIN POINT #3
Attracting and retaining specialist talent
Competing for analysts, credit specialists, advisers and technology talent in financial services is intensely competitive. Without a compelling employee experience and benefits offering, you lose candidates to larger institutions before the offer stage.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Give your team access to an enterprise-grade benefits platform, including financial wellbeing tools, cashback at major retailers and health discounts, at a cost that works for a growing business.
Trapped in manual workflows? There’s a better way
Global hiring with HeroForce
Hire in new markets without setting up a legal entity. HeroForce handles employment contracts, compliance, payroll and onboarding in each country. You stay in control of the day-to-day work while Employment Hero handles the legal employment infrastructure.
Automated payroll and compliance workflows
From workplace pension contributions to commission structures, Employment Hero handles payroll accurately across your entire team. Automated workflows reduce manual reconciliation and give finance leadership real-time visibility into people costs.
AI Recruitment Agent
Score, screen and shortlist candidates automatically before a human reviewer sees a single CV. When you need to move fast on critical hires, a head of sales, a credit analyst, a risk officer, the AI Recruitment Agent compresses a week-long screening process into minutes.
Performance and OKR management
Connect individual performance to business goals. Set OKRs across the business, track progress in real time and link performance reviews to compensation decisions, all within a single platform that your team actually uses.
