Top 100 HRtech Companies in the UK | 2026

Lily Ruaah,
 30 April 2026

UK HRtech companies raised £395m in 2025 — the second-biggest year on record for the sector and a sharp rebound after two slower years in 2023 and 2024, when annual investment fell to around £193m. In total, HRtech companies in the UK have raised £2.11b across all equity fundraisings tracked by Beauhurst, with 86% of that total arriving since the start of 2020.

We’ve ranked the top 100 HRtech companies by total equity raised (all data sourced from the Beauhurst platform).

What is HRtech?

HRtech — short for human resources technology — covers the application of software and AI to hiring, employee management, payroll, benefits, training, and workplace wellbeing. It spans applicant tracking systems, AI-driven recruitment tools, employee engagement and culture platforms, payroll and global employer-of-record services, learning management systems, and benefits and rewards software.

Beauhurst tracks 550 active HRtech companies in the UK, up from 185 in the final quarter of 2015 — a 197% increase over the decade. Together, these companies have raised £2.11b, with £1.81b of that arriving since 2020 (86% of the sector’s all-time total). The 110 companies reporting full financials generated £10.6b in turnover, and the sector supports an estimated 64,045 employees across the UK.

Key findings

  • Stream tops the ranking with £279m raised. The London-based company integrates with payroll systems to give employees real-time access to earnings, and accounts for 13% of all UK HRtech equity raised to date.
  • bob (£207m, London) takes second place with HR and benefits software, though the company is now classified as ‘Dead’ on the Beauhurst platform, followed by Immersive Labs (£162m, South West) in gamified cyber security training, Omnipresent (£103m, London) in remote workforce and employer-of-record services, and Amity Corporation (£64.2m, South East) in AI customer and employee engagement software. The top five account for 39% of all equity raised in UK HRtech.
  • London hosts 58 of the top 100, followed by the South East (12), South West (7), and North West (6). The top 100 spans 11 UK regions in total.
  • Venture-stage businesses lead the top 100 (45), followed by seed-stage (21) and growth-stage (20), with six established companies, five exited businesses, and three dead — a moderately mature stage profile that sits between the more youthful contech and the longer-established adtech.
  • The top 100 collectively raised £1.62b — 77% of the sector’s all-time total.

Methodology

To be included in this list of HRtech companies, companies must be:

  • Headquartered in the UK
  • Operating in the ‘HRtech’ Beauhurst industry classification
  • Listed as ‘Active’ on Companies House

We’ve then ranked these companies by total equity raised.

The future of HRtech in the UK

New HRtech company formations have been steady, with between 34 and 47 new businesses founded each year from 2018 to 2024 — one of the most consistent formation pipelines we’ve seen across the sectors we’ve analysed. Investment trajectory tells a more cyclical story.

After peaking at £510m in 2022 amid the post-pandemic remote-work surge, annual funding fell to £195m in 2023 and £192m in 2024, before rebounding to £395m in 2025. Notably, deal volume kept rising throughout the dip — from 75 deals in 2021 to 110 in 2024 and 115 in 2025 — pointing to a sector that has broadened even as cheque sizes contracted and recovered. 2026 has opened more cautiously with £34.5m raised through the first quarter.

AI-assisted recruitment has emerged as the most distinctive theme of HRtech’s recent funding wave. Metaview, FYXER AI, Jack & Jill, Pynea, Atlas, Harriet, Replicate, Dex, and 11x.ai all sit in the top 100, building everything from interview note-taking and email triage to autonomous AI recruiters and agentic workplace assistants. The shift from rules-based applicant tracking to LLM-driven hiring tools is one of the most concentrated AI investment themes in any sector we’ve analysed.

Alongside it, employer-of-record and global workforce platforms have scaled into a major category — Omnipresent (£103m), Native Teams, and Borderless are all building infrastructure for hiring across borders, a direct response to the durable shift toward distributed and international workforces.

A second cluster centres on employee benefits, rewards, and wellbeing. Peppy, Ben, Juno, Mo, FLOWN, Support Room, Sanctuary Health, and Ambr are among the top 100 building platforms across menopause and fertility care, benefits marketplaces, recognition tools, deep-work productivity, mental health, and burnout prevention. Earned-wage access — most prominently represented by sector leader Stream and Hastee Pay — sits at the increasingly blurred boundary between HRtech and fintech, treating employees’ unpaid earnings as an everyday liquidity tool.

Finally, learning, training, and skills software remains a steady seam: Immersive Labs (£162m), HowNow, Learn Amp, Apprentify, and Reelyze span cyber security gamification, content management, apprenticeships, and knowledge sharing.

Together, these themes describe an HRtech sector that has matured beyond hiring software into something closer to the operating system of the modern employer.
