About us

Our Story

We created MyHR because we knew that growing Kiwi businesses often struggle to manage their HR and employment processes. They need the right tools and expertise to take control of their HR. Our idea was simple: a powerful, easy-to-use HR platform backed by an expert team of HR advisors. Say hello to MyHR, the virtual HR department for businesses without one.

Where we started

Jason Ennor and Sean O’Brien go way back. In 2012, the two friends and collaborators were sharing an after-surf beer and tossing around an idea: what if any company, big or small, could access a powerful, unified system that makes HR easy. Not stand-alone employment templates, in-house specialists, or expensive one-off advice from HR consultants or lawyers, but a complete, integrated HR system.

Sean was running his own design company and was frustrated by inefficient and expensive HR offerings. Jason had been working in corporate HR for multinationals in New Zealand, the UK, and Australia. Their combined experience was the perfect launchpad for an innovative new product, a hybrid HR service that gives clients a powerful digital system fully supported by a team of HR experts. Ultimately scalable, unified, and exact. MyHR was born.

Fast forward over 15 years and MyHR now supports more than 20,000 individual employment relationships across thousands of businesses in New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. And we’re only just getting started.
