Overview
Personio is a comprehensive European HR platform covering recruiting, onboarding, absence management, and payroll preparation, headquartered in Munich with EU data centres ensuring full GDPR compliance. It is increasingly popular among Irish tech companies and scaling SMEs with 21-50+ employees who need structured HR workflows without US data residency concerns. While Personio does not process Irish payroll directly, it integrates with local providers like BrightPay and Collsoft for PAYE Modernisation and Revenue submissions, acting as the central HR hub. Irish businesses benefit from its European-first design, which handles statutory leave entitlements, document management, and multi-location team structures common in firms operating across Ireland and the EU.
