When you’re hiring, vague words are a waste of time.

And when you need a specific set of skills, generic summaries simply won't cut it.

That’s why our new Candidate Summary scores applicants directly against your unique hiring criteria.

Instead of broad AI overviews, you get an instant, clear breakdown of exactly what they bring to the table and a simple match score to back it up.

👀 See it in action.

Random perks won’t keep your best people from jumping ship.

And if you’re a small business owner, top talent is an invaluable asset.

High performers crave growth, so you need a regular process for recognition and the freedom for them to wear different hats and learn new skills.

Sit down with your team, ask them exactly what they want out of their careers, and build a tangible plan to get them there.

If you focus on actively growing their capabilities, you’ll be rewarded with loyalty.

Leeds and Yorkshire. Great places to build a business AND a community. Do you agree?

Thanks to Rachel Woolford, and our partners at Leeds United and Leeds Rhinos Rob Oates, Robbie Evans and Jamie Jones-Buchanan for chatting to us right after taking the stage at our Built to Last event.

Raise your hand if you've ever lost hours of your life to a chaotic spreadsheet? 🙋‍♀️

We talk to hiring managers every day who lose time weekly just keeping their candidate databases up to date. Between manual data entry, finding duplicates, and fixing broken formatting, it's a massive drain on your time.

Not anymore. Watch how our newest update will change how you migrate data into Employment Hero - without the headache.

Headlines claim that AI is killing off graduate jobs.

The reality is the exact opposite.

Businesses that actively use AI are hiring entry-level talent at more than double the rate of those that aren't (62% vs 30%).

Our latest AI Paradox at Work report uncovered some massive contradictions happening across the job market right now:

🟣 Employers want AI-skilled workers but aren't investing in the training.

🟣 AI saves hours of time but also creates completely new types of work.

🟣 Employees are secretive about their AI usage, even though it makes them more productive.

The lesson is clear. AI isn't a simple magic bullet, but the leaders who understand the trade-offs are the ones best positioned for rapid growth.

AI is officially everywhere in HR.

But for Canadian employers, it’s bringing a whole new wave of legal and compliance risks.

Balancing innovation with sound people practices shouldn't be a guessing game.

Join Employment Hero and Vistera for a practical session on navigating the rapidly evolving employment law landscape in 2026.

We will break down the latest legal updates, emerging workplace risks, and how to safely leverage AI-powered legal support to make faster, more confident HR decisions.

89 applications for one role.

60 taken to screening.

30 minutes a call. If you do the maths, that's 30 hours of phone screening. On top of everything else.

For Practice Manager Gemma at Ready Health, ‘everything else’ is HR, payroll, compliance, marketing, social media and running a growing healthcare business. There's no recruitment department. There's just her.

With Employment Hero's AI Recruitment Agent, every one of those 60 candidates was ranked, interviewed and scored automatically. Pros, cons and a summary ready to review for each one.

By the time Gemma looked at her shortlist, the hard work was done.

Engaged candidates, ranked by fit, ready for the next round.

Are you a small business owner with a goal for when you’ll be happy?

“I’ll be happy when I land that contract.”

“I’ll be happy when I hire a new employee.”

Known as That Happiness Guy, Declan Edwards meets SME owners who think happiness follows success.

But he argues it’s the other way around - owners who prioritise happiness and wellbeing now are creating the conditions for growth.

Being in HR right now is a wild ride, and you’ve definitely earned a drink.

It’s time to mute the urgent Slack pings and join Employment Hero, Michelle Hartley, and the HR Geek Squad for a summer social that is actually social.

We’re heading to The Cocktail Club in Bristol on July 9th to swap policy talk for cold drinks and completely PowerPoint-free conversations.

Expect great food, drinks on the house, and a room full of people who completely understand why your eye twitches when someone says they have a quick question.

RSVP below and join the fun!

Some of Leeds' most respected leaders in business and sport sat down together at Elland Road for our Built to Last event - and the conversation was one of the best we've hosted.

We brought together some of the city's most respected voices in business and sport: Leeds United FC MD Robbie Evans, Leeds Rhinos CEO Jamie Jones-Buchanan MBE, Leeds Rhinos MD Robert Oates, and North Studio founder Rachel Woolford.

Their combined experience offers practical wisdom on long-term thinking, decisive leadership, values-driven hiring and building the kind of culture that outlasts any individual.

Whether you're running a boutique fitness studio or one of the most iconic sports clubs in the country, the same questions show up: how do you build a team that outlasts you? How do you stay true to your identity under pressure? How do you lead for the long term, not just the next quarter?

Thanks to everyone who joined us in Leeds!
