We’re four people.
That’s the whole company.
No investors, no board, no growth targets someone else set for us. We started Employo recently, out of South Asia, backed by nobody.We built it because we needed it.
Most HR tools are engineered to extract revenue as you grow, not because their servers cost more, but because you can afford it.
We ran our own team on HR software that was never meant for us. It was built for companies with five thousand employees — modules we never opened, settings we never understood, a setup process we never actually finished. Every time we hired someone, the bill went up.
That’s not an accident. Most HR software is built by companies with investors to repay. Investors need returns, returns need growth, and the easiest way to grow revenue is to charge more as your customer grows. So the price goes up every time you hire — not because the software costs more to run, but because you can afford more.
We didn’t think that was fair. So we built the version we wanted.
How we keep it cheap
Four people. No offices to fill, no sales team, no marketing budget to justify to anyone. We use AI heavily in how we build, which means a team this small can ship what used to take twenty people.
Low costs aren’t a strategy we adopted. They’re just the truth of who we are — and they’re the reason we can do things a funded company can’t.
4 People. Zero Overhead.
No corporate offices to fill, no sales team chasing commissions, no inflated marketing budgets to justify. We pass every cent of savings directly to our customers.
AI-Powered Engineering
We use AI heavily in how we build and operate. A small, focused team of four can now ship what used to require twenty engineers, without compromising quality.
No Per-Head Penalties
Your first 25 employees are completely free. After that, one flat price that never increases as you hire. We’ve been on the painful end of per-seat bills, and we refuse to do that to you.
Your first 25 employees are free.
After that, one flat price that doesn’t move when you hire. We’re not going to price you per head, because we’ve been on the other side of that bill.
Our Team
Four people. That’s it.
There’s no leadership page here because there’s no leadership layer. Four of us build it, support it, and answer your emails.
When you write to us, one of the people who built the thing writes back. Not a ticket system, not a chatbot, not an outsourced support desk reading from a script.
That’s not a feature we’re bragging about — it’s just what happens when a company is four people. We think it’s better. We’d like to keep it that way as long as we can.
What we’re trying to do
What We Believe
These four tenets guide every line of code we write, every feature we say no to, and how we run this business.
HR software should do HR.
Not chat. Not project management. Not CRM. Not a social feed. You already have Slack and Notion, and they’re better at it than any HR vendor will ever be. We do one thing.
Your bill shouldn’t punish you for growing.
Hiring is good news. Your software shouldn’t make it feel expensive.
Small and medium companies aren’t small enterprises.
They’re a different thing entirely, and they need different software. We’re not building for enterprise, and we’re not going to start.
Sustainable beats fast.
We don’t have a number we need to hit. We’d rather run this for ten years at a size we can handle than burn it out chasing growth for someone else’s spreadsheet.
