HR software provider HRLocker has announced it will hire 50 new staff over the next two years following a €2m fundraise.

The Lahinch-based software company intends to break into new international markets, expand its product offering, and grow its core customer base in Ireland and the UK with the investment.
HRLocker has already doubled its workforce since 2021 without external capital, buoyed by accelerated demand for digital transformation of HR practice since the pandemic, and experiencing an "unprecedented return".

The cloud-based, GDPR-compliant HRIS platform automates many elements of HR workflows such as payroll reporting and allows companies to manage their staff, whether they are working in the office or remotely.
Prior to founding HRLocker with John Dennehy, Coleman worked as a head of human resources for O2 before establishing his own HR consultancy. Dennehy sold his stake in the business to Coleman in 2013.
