About Personio

Personio is a Munich-based HR platform built for European small and mid-sized companies, typically between about 10 and 2,000 employees. It covers employee records, absence and time tracking, recruiting with an applicant tracking system, onboarding, performance and development, document management with e-signatures, and payroll preparation or full payroll in some countries, with workflow automation and a marketplace of integrations. It handles European requirements such as GDPR and local working-time rules better than many US tools. Pricing is quote-based, per employee per month, across several plans, with a free trial. It runs in the browser with iOS and Android apps. Users like the breadth and the time-off tools; drawbacks are price increases at renewal, reporting that can feel limited, and a product that is most at home in Germany and neighbouring markets.

Best for: European SMEs that want HR, recruiting and payroll preparation in one tool.
