For mid-sized companies

Big company problems.
Too small for four systems.

Compono is HR software for organisations of 100 to 1,000 people, where an HR team of one to ten is accountable for hiring, culture, learning and competency. It does the process work your current tools do, and finds what sits behind the record: fit, team shape and proven capability. At 5,000 people with a systems team, buy an enterprise suite.

How it shows up for mid-sized companies

A manager and a team member talking over coffee in a quiet corner of an office

Five jobs, one HR team

Recruitment, retention, reskilling, reorganisation and redundancy are all running at once, in the same small team, for the same people. Every one of those calls has to be defensible, and the tools you have record what you decided after you decided it.

30% of employers expected redundancies, and 91% of those making them were recruiting in the same quarter.

At 300 staff, most hiring is rehiring

The vacancy opens, the team absorbs it, and the replacement spends a year climbing back to where the last person was. Do that forty times a year and you are funding a permanent rebuild and calling it growth.

59% of recruiting employers were replacing someone who had left, and 41% could not fill the vacancy within a month.

An engagement survey that changes nothing

You run it, the score arrives, and the action plan is a guess dressed up as a plan. Sentiment tells you something is wrong somewhere in a business of 300 people. It does not tell you which team, or what to do about it.

One in five employees engaged worldwide in 2025, and roughly $10 trillion of lost productivity, about 9% of global GDP.

Capability lives in spreadsheets

Qualifications sit in one file, licences in another, completions in the learning system, and the real answer in somebody's head. When a client, an auditor, an insurer or a regulator asks who is signed off for what, you rebuild the picture by hand.

Everything a good system tracks.
And what only Compono finds.

Compono Hire

An applicant tracking system (ATS) that gives you a defensible shortlist

  • Like any ATSApplications, stages, dates and job-board posting
  • And what only Compono findsThe evidence behind the shortlist

Hire runs the requisition, the pipeline and the compliance trail the way any applicant tracking system does. It also scores every candidate against the job, the team and a culture benchmark drawn from your own people, then ranks them on that evidence. Hiring managers get a shortlist with reasons attached, which is the difference between a recommendation and an argument you can take to an executive.

Compono Engage

An employee engagement platform that tells you which team to fix

  • Like any engagement platformEngagement scores, response rates and trend lines
  • And what only Compono findsThe team behind the number

Engage runs the engagement survey and reports the score, as any survey tool would. Culture is then measured across 12 validated dimensions, current against desired, and cut by team, department and location. At 300 people that is the difference between knowing engagement is down and knowing the operations team has a decision-making problem.

Compono Develop

A learning management system (LMS) that ties learning to the role

  • Like any LMSCourse assignment, completions and the audit trail
  • And what only Compono findsWhat people still cannot do

Develop does the learning management system job: assign training, track completions and keep the audit trail ready for whoever asks. Onboarding and compliance training then run on pathways mapped to the role, the team and the person's work personality, with assessment inside the pathway. You see capability building rather than a completion rate.

Compono Assure

Competency management software for the tickets you have to prove

  • Like any competency softwareLicence numbers, certificates and expiry dates
  • And what only Compono findsCompetence proven, with a state and a date

Assure holds the licence numbers, registrations and certificates on the person's record with expiries that surface before they lapse, the way a competency register should. It also holds the frameworks, the assessment, the credentialling and the licensing, trusted by five state governments at public-safety scale.

Common questions

No. Compono is not a human resource information system and does not try to be. The HRIS holds the employment record: contracts, leave, pay runs and reporting. Compono holds fit, culture, capability and proof of competence, and integrates where your implementation scopes it, so nobody re-keys a hire. Most mid-sized companies run both.

Usually Hire, because hiring volume at this size makes the return visible fastest. Engage comes second, often after a retention problem nobody can explain. Develop and Assure follow when compliance or capability becomes the thing you get asked about. One product, then the next, is the normal path.

Beside them, and it replaces neither. Single sign-on runs through your identity provider, and data integrations are scoped per customer during implementation. Compono does not run payroll and does not interpret awards, so your payroll stack stays exactly where it is. The partners page carries the current list.

For Hire, count weeks: job templates, your team benchmarks and the integrations, then live hiring. Engage adds a survey window before the culture benchmark is ready. You get a date range for your size and product mix before you sign, not after.

Yes, and that is the point at this size. Culture is measured across 12 validated dimensions and reported by team, department and location, current against desired. You see which group has the gap, instead of an average that hides both the best team and the worst one.

From 100 to 500 people, one product runs circa $7k to $13k AUD a year depending on the band, and a second product comes down by about 30%. Bands are public and not negotiated, so every company your size sees the same numbers. Detail is on the pricing page.

Beyond The Clinic used Engage to read how its team collaborates and found one person carrying too many types of work. QIB Group runs Work Personality across the business. STA Consulting Engineers uses it to spot personality clashes before a hire lands instead of six months after.

Compono is built in Australia and New Zealand and works with organisations across English-speaking markets. Data is hosted in Australia and New Zealand wherever your team sits, and we are ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified. Registration and licence records handle the local scheme in each market you operate in.
