Company Summary

Human Resource (HR) systems suck. We built something better. We combine a cloud-based, highly configurable HR solution for employee lifecycle management with collaborative tools and a consumer-like experience for employees. We focus on core HR functionality, employee engagement and productivity. We market to small and medium businesses through partners, including payroll providers, HR Consultants and Brokers via a per employee per month fee.
