Employment Hero is an AI-powered Employment Operating System that automates the entire employee lifecycle—from recruitment and onboarding through payroll, benefits, and compliance management. Built by an employment lawyer and product technologist, it serves 300,000+ businesses managing 2 million employees globally, including EOR capabilities through Global Teams. Unlike traditional HRIS platforms that act as systems of record, Employment Hero functions as a system of action, with AI automating manual workflows and triggering next moves autonomously. The company differentiates through Swag, a consumer-facing superapp that serves employees alongside employers.

Job&Talent is a workforce-as-a-service marketplace that connects companies with pre-screened hourly and temporary workers across logistics, manufacturing, retail, and hospitality. The platform uses AI-driven matching algorithms to automate hiring from sourcing and screening through onboarding and payroll. Unlike traditional gig platforms, Job&Talent offers workers employee-like benefits including pension contributions, sick pay, holiday pay, and health insurance, differentiating itself through stability and comprehensive worker protections.
