Questions to ask when comparing Employment Hero vs Cezanne HR

Does Cezanne HR cater to all business sizes?

As your team grows, HR becomes real work, making it vital to choose a platform that actually fits your operational scale. Does the platform accommodate growing mid-sized businesses, or does it involve minimum headcount requirements or pricing tiers?

A platform designed around organisations of a certain size will shape your experience from day one. so it’s useful to know whether you’re a good fit now, or whether you’d be growing into it.

Employment Hero is built to work just as well for a 10-person team as a 1,000-person one, with the same HR, payroll, hiring and benefits available from day one, including a free HMRC-compliant payroll tier with no employee limit.

How does Cezanne HR and Employment Hero compare on recruitment?

Evaluating recruitment software comes down to understanding how much of the hiring workflow is truly automated versus where manual effort is still required. It pays to explore what a recruitment module includes in practice, such as whether AI plays an active role in screening candidates and how much manual shortlisting your team will still need to handle. 

Employment Hero delivers a complete recruitment platform that manages the full candidate journey in one place. By embedding AI Recruitment candidate matching and the AI Recruitment Agent directly into its built-in ATS, the system executes fully automated first-round screening interviews before an internal reviewer ever picks up the phone. Once you find the ideal candidate, digital offer letters and built-in e-signatures allow you to transition new hires straight into onboarding without manual data re-entry or switching software.

How much of Cezanne is ‘core’, and how much do I add (and pay for) later?

Understanding what’s included in a platform’s base plan is essential when evaluating the true cost of software. Take a closer look at what comes standard in the core subscription versus what requires an add-on module, such as whether recruitment, performance management and payroll carry separate costs. Clarifying these details up front gives you a clear picture of your total investment on day one compared to what you may need to add as your team grows.

Employment Hero includes a built-in ATS, AI-powered hiring tools, a Go1-powered LMS and an integrated UK benefits and rewards marketplace in a single subscription. Rather than assembling your HR tech stack piece by piece through paid add-ons, you gain a comprehensive, all-in-one platform ready to support your team from day one.
