For business

Hiring and culture.
Learning and competency.
One platform, any size.

Compono is HR software for employers of any size, from a founder making their first five hires to a 1,000-person organisation. It does the process work every HR system does, and finds what none of them show: who fits, how the team behaves, whether the capability is real. If all you need is payroll and leave, buy an HRIS.

How it shows up for business

Four colleagues of different ages working through printed pages together around a meeting table

The wrong hire, and the bill arrives twice

Most hiring in Australia is replacement hiring. Someone leaves, the seat sits open, whoever is left absorbs the work, and the person you rush in to stop the bleeding is the one most likely to leave next.

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

Culture problems that outlast every survey

Engagement is at its lowest level since 2020, and the steepest fall is among the managers everyone relies on to hold a culture together. The score arrives. Nothing in it says which team, or what to change on Monday.

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

Training completed, capability unchanged

People get good slowly and leave quickly. Output climbs through someone's first year, so every unplanned exit hands back capability you already paid to build, and the completion report still reads 100%.

Average turnover of 15%, with 27% of organisations losing a fifth or more of their people in a year, while output runs about 53% higher a year after a hire.

Competence you cannot prove when someone asks

A certificate in a folder is not evidence that the person was competent on the day. When an insurer or a regulator asks who was signed off for the task, a spreadsheet does not survive the question.

146,700 serious workers' compensation claims in 2023 to 2024, each one involving at least a week of lost working time.

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

Compono Hire

An applicant tracking system (ATS) that finds fit before you offer

  • Like any ATSApplications, stages, dates and job-board posting
  • And what only Compono findsFit against the role, the team and how you work

Hire posts the role, keeps every application in one pipeline and moves people through the stages, which is what you buy an applicant tracking system for. It also scores each candidate against the job, the team they would join and the way your business actually works. The shortlist arrives ranked on that evidence, so you read four people properly instead of forty badly.

Compono Engage

An employee engagement platform that shows how the team really behaves

  • Like any engagement platformEngagement scores and response rates
  • And what only Compono findsHow the team behaves, across 12 dimensions

Engage runs the engagement survey and gives you the score, like any survey tool. Culture is then measured across 12 validated dimensions, current against desired, by team and by location, alongside the work personalities already in the room. You get the gap you can act on as well as the number you can report.

Compono Develop

A learning management system (LMS) that closes the gap it finds

  • Like any LMSCourse assignment, completions and records
  • And what only Compono findsCapability held, and where it is thin

Develop assigns and tracks training the way any learning management system does, and keeps the records audit-ready without anyone chasing them. Onboarding and compliance training run on pathways mapped to the role and the person rather than assigned to everyone, with assessment inside the pathway. You see capability building rather than completions ticking over.

Compono Assure

Competency management software that proves people can do the work

  • Like any competency softwareCertificates, licences and expiry dates
  • And what only Compono findsCompetence proven, with a state and a date

Assure holds the certificates, registrations and licences on the person's record as competencies, with expiry dates that surface before they lapse, which is the job a register does. It also holds the frameworks, the assessment, the credentialling and the licensing, and it is trusted by five state governments at public-safety scale.

Four products, one behavioural science engine.

Common questions

Yes. The same HR software runs at 12 people and at 1,000, with a different starting point. Under 100, most teams buy one product and add the second when it earns its place. From 100 to 1,000, the usual pattern is hiring plus culture, then learning. Five state governments run Assure at public-safety scale, so the ceiling is a long way up.

No. Plenty of Compono customers have no HR function at all. Job templates, automatic candidate ranking, ready-made onboarding pathways and plain-language results mean the thinking is done once and the day-to-day sits with whoever is doing the hiring. When you do make a first people hire, nothing has to be rebuilt for them.

Yes, and most do. Hire, Engage, Develop and Assure each stand alone. They share one validated behavioural science engine, so what you learn about people in the first product carries into the next without a migration or a second round of assessments.

No. Compono sits beside your human resource information system (HRIS) and connects to it. The HRIS holds the employment record. Compono holds what the record cannot show: fit, team shape, culture and proven capability. Single sign-on runs through your identity provider, and data integrations are scoped per customer. The partners page carries the current list.

No, and it does not interpret awards either. Both stay with your payroll provider. We would rather say that plainly up front than sell you a box we do not tick and disappoint you in month three.

Most single-product implementations run in weeks rather than quarters, because the assessments and job templates come pre-built. Culture assessment adds a survey window before the benchmark is ready. We will give you a date range for your size and your product mix before you commit to anything.

Indicative pricing starts at circa $5.5k AUD a year for one product, and a second product comes down by about 30%. Bands go by size and the numbers are public, so every organisation in a band sees the same price. The full set of bands is on the pricing page.

Compono is built in Australia and New Zealand and works with employers 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. If you carry residency requirements in another market, raise it early and we will confirm what we can support.
