For financial services and insurance

Hire for judgement.
Prove the risk culture.

Compono Hire is an applicant tracking system (ATS) for banks, insurers, brokers, funds and fintechs where conduct, culture and competence are regulated matters. It runs the process and keeps the evidence your current systems keep, then finds the judgement behind a hire and how the culture really behaves. If policy attestation is the job, buy a governance platform.

How it shows up for banks, insurers and brokers

Your board is asked to form a view on risk culture

Under the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) prudential standard CPS 220, the board must form a view of the risk culture, identify desirable changes and make sure the institution takes steps to address them. The board is ultimately responsible for the risk management framework and for overseeing how management runs it.

The competence record is only as good as the register

At 20 November 2025, of the 15,469 relevant providers on the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Financial Advisers Register, 2,326 had yet to meet the qualifications standard according to what was recorded. Licensees own the accuracy of that record.

Advisers and brokers move, and take relationships with them

In the year to February 2026, 7.3% of people in financial and insurance services left their job while 7.9% started a new one. The churn is quiet, and it moves client books.

Operational risk now reaches the people running the process

APRA's prudential standard CPS 230 on operational risk management, updated in April 2026 and commencing 1 July 2026, puts accountability for critical operations squarely on the entity. Critical operations are run by people.

A control that exists on paper and depends on one person's judgement in practice.

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

Compono Hire

The applicant tracking system (ATS) that finds the judgement behind the resume

  • Like any ATSApplications, stages and the hiring committee record
  • And what only Compono findsJudgement and fit, evidenced for the committee

Hire runs the pipeline and keeps the hiring record an applicant tracking system is bought for. Every applicant is also profiled against the role, the team and your organisation, and ranked on evidence you can put in front of a hiring committee. For roles where a wrong call becomes a regulatory event, the shortlist needs a reason attached.

Compono Engage

The employee engagement platform that measures the culture behind conduct

  • Like any engagement platformEngagement scores and response rates, by business unit
  • And what only Compono findsHow decisions actually get made

Engage runs the engagement survey and reports the sentiment score, as any survey tool does. Culture is then measured across 12 dimensions, current against desired, by business unit and by leader. Risk culture becomes a picture of how decisions actually get made, with the sentiment number still there for the board pack.

Compono Assure

The competency management software that evidences capability

  • Like any competency softwareAttestations, certificates and renewal dates
  • And what only Compono findsThe competence behind the attestation

Assure holds the attestations, certificates and renewal dates on the person's record. Role competencies sit in one framework with assessment and renewal against them, so responsible manager and adviser competence is a record with evidence behind it.

Common questions

Yes. Compono Hire is an applicant tracking system (ATS) used by banks, insurers, brokers and funds. It runs the pipeline from advert to offer, and profiles every applicant against the role and the team, so a regulated hire comes with evidence rather than a gut read.

Compono holds the competence record: role competencies, assessment results, evidence and renewal dates, reportable by person and by business unit. What you submit to a regulator stays your decision. Compono makes the underlying record defensible rather than scattered.

CPS 220 asks the board to form a view of risk culture and act on it. Compono Engage measures culture across 12 dimensions, current against desired, by business unit and leader, so that view rests on data about how people behave rather than on a satisfaction score.

Single sign-on runs with your identity provider, and integrations are scoped per customer. Our partners page lists who we work with. Compono holds the people record for hiring, culture, learning and competency, and does not replace payroll or a core banking system.

At 300 people you sit in the 100 to 500 band, where one product runs circa $7k to $13k AUD a year depending on where you land, and a second product comes down by about 30%. Every firm in a band sees the same numbers.

Yes. Broking groups and advice practices use Compono for hiring and for the competence record behind each authorised person. QIB Group, an insurance broking group, uses work personality across its teams.

Compono is built and hosted in Australia and New Zealand, and the platform is written to travel. Data is hosted in Australia and New Zealand wherever your team sits. Compono is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, and holds employee and candidate data only.
