On October 26, 2018, HR Duo officially launched in Ireland, marking the beginning of its journey in the HR technology market.
With a vision to transform workforce management through automation and intelligent compliance, HR Duo set out to simplify HR processes for businesses of all sizes.
This launch laid the foundation for the company’s rapid growth and innovation in the HR tech space across Irish markets.
In 2020, HR Duo secured its first angel investment of €600K, fuelling the development of its unique workforce management and HR system. The funding enabled significant advancements in HR Duo’s time-tracking and content automation capabilities, reinforcing its position as an industry leader.
This investment accelerated product development, enhancing the platform’s ability to manage the full employment lifecycle efficiently.
In January 2023, HR Duo secured €4.5 million in Series A funding, a major milestone that provided the capital needed to scale operations and drive further product innovation.
With this investment, HR Duo strengthened its workforce management solutions, expanded its market reach, and continued enhancing its human-driven compliance and automation tools.
To support its growing customer base and technological advancements, HR Duo opened a European software hub in Romania on May 16, 2023.
This hub became a key centre for software development, working alongside the company’s teams in Dunshaughlin, Ireland, and the UK.
This strategic expansion enabled HR Duo to accelerate feature development, enhance system performance, and further refine its HR solutions.
Building on its success in Ireland, HR Duo officially expanded into the UK by opening a new office in Birmingham on June 6, 2023.
This move marked a significant step in HR Duo’s international growth, bringing its advanced workforce management solutions to UK businesses.
With a focus on helping organisations streamline HR operations and maintain compliance, this expansion solidified HR Duo’s presence in a key market.
In early 2024, HR Duo announced a refined strategic direction, doubling down on workforce management technology. With an emphasis on intelligent scheduling, time tracking, and performance management, HR Duo is now positioned as a premier workforce management solution.
Alongside its powerful automation tools, HR Duo’s HR Assist and EmployPath continue to support compliance, policy deployment, and seamless HR operations—empowering businesses to automate, comply, and thrive.
