Written by the company

Employment Hero is an AI Employment Operating System (OS) that unifies recruitment, HR, payroll and benefits into one automated infrastructure for SMEs and growing organisations. Built to remove everyday employment friction, the company provides a global solution for over 350,000 businesses and 2 million users to manage their workforce across industries like tech, healthcare and retail. Employment Hero moves beyond traditional HRIS by using AI to enhance manual workflows into a hands-off operation. The platform functions as a system of action rather than just a system of record, where AI handles the heavy lifting of the employment lifecycle. Instead of simply presenting a to-do list, the OS triggers the next move; whether that is shortlisting a candidate, updating a compliance policy or running a complex pay cycle. It is designed for businesses that want their employment tasks handled autonomously, rather than just having another software tool to manage. AI-Led recruitment: Moves candidates through the funnel automatically, from job posting to offer, using an AI Recruitment Agent to screen and rank talent 24/7. Automated payroll engine: Orchestrates complex calculations, tax compliance and reporting across different jurisdictions without the need for manual data entry. Unified HR & compliance: Acts as a single source of truth for contracts and policies, featuring built-in triggers that automate onboarding, time-tracking and performance reviews. Employee superapp: A mobile-first hub where teams access payslips and manage leave while tapping into a suite of wellness perks and financial benefits. Integrated Learning Management System (LMS): Enables tailored training pathways and performance reviews to foster professional development without manual coordination. Proactive people ops: Uses built-in AI to answer routine HR questions instantly and surface items needing attention before they become administrative bottlenecks. The primary value of the platform enables companies move faster by reducing operational drag across the employment lifecycle.. It solves the problem of fragmented tools and repetitive manual work by providing a single, intelligent thread that connects every part of the employee experience. By automating the routine, Employment Hero allows leadership teams to stop chasing paperwork and start focusing on the strategic growth of their people and culture. Languages supported: English and French.

Ease of employees booking leave

The Employment Hero app and platform is easy to use as a employer and employee. Its so easy and quick to use for my team to book leave, they can see if it clashes with anyone and i can approve leave from anywhere as the app is great. It shows up to date balances of leave which is very handy.

No human support

Good platform but can’t get ahold of a single human through an email or live chat. AI tells me to submit a ticket through a link that’s out of service

Reliable Platform

Employment Hero is very easy to use and offers a wide range of features, many of which I haven’t fully explored yet. The platform is intuitive and makes managing HR tasks much more efficient. One of the standout benefits is its ability to integrate seamlessly with Xero, which is a big plus for streamlining payroll and accounting processes. Overall, it’s a reliable and user-friendly system with plenty of functionality to grow into.

Loving the new Heroclear Feauture.

Loving the new Heroclear feature for paying super. I'm now very confident that we are ready for payday super when it's implemented on 1 July. It's so easy to use and just a few clicks to send payments.

Employment Hero Review - Mar 2026

Love the fact that it is an Australian 'born and bread' system which is best tailored to the local market trends and needs; I found their help desk available and efficient offering timely support. Also EMployment Hero has good interface and quality of modules, particularly Learning & Development Module, which is super essential for NDIS and N-f-P organisations

Employment Hero is our go-to platform for all HR related information/activity. We use the platform to keep employee files, manage time off and probation reviews and also to share induction content with new starters. It's an amazing platform to use, and is always being updated to improve.

Easy to use and navigate

The ease of using the platform is very good although there are some functions which it cannot do and I have raised these in the past. Both the HR and Payroll systems are functional and the employee app is easy to use for our staff.

Very supportive team

The team at EH are supportive and responsive, and have been helpful in improving our understanding of the platform’s features. The flexibility of optional add‑on services, with no lock‑in beyond the initial 12 months, also makes it an appealing offering.
