Personio

Personio is a German HR software company headquartered in Munich and founded in 2015. It reports around 16,000 customers and 1,500 employees. The platform is aimed at small and mid-sized employers, with packages from fewer than 50 employees up to enterprise size, and it focuses on companies in Europe.

Features

• Core HR: employee records, documents with e-signatures, absence management, time tracking, onboarding and offboarding, and workforce planning.
• Payroll preparation and Personio Payroll, plus expense management, corporate cards and employee benefits.
• Add-ons for recruiting, performance and development, compensation management, surveys, whistleblowing and an Employer of Record service.
• Reporting, workflows and automations, and role-based permissions.

Pricing and limits

Personio charges per employee and month, and the modules beyond core HR are separate add-ons. Because the product is built for European employers, companies with many staff outside Europe should check local payroll coverage first.
