ABOUT CIPHR

Work works better when the systems behind it join up

Ciphr started with a simple belief: HR is the function that makes work, work. We built HR software, payroll software and learning tools to back that belief up, one capability at a time.

That's still true. But it's not the whole story anymore.

From a belief to the evidence

From a belief to the evidence

For years, HR teams have been asked to prove their impact while working across systems that don't talk to each other. With spreadsheets that bridge the gaps between platforms. With reports rebuilt by hand because the data lives in three different places. With decisions delayed because nobody can see the full picture at once.

Ciphr exists to close that gap. HR, payroll, recruitment, learning, benefits, and AI, connected in one suite, so the people running HR and payroll for UK mid-sized organisations get more control, clearer data, and less work stuck between systems.

This is HR amplified: not a new promise, but what happens when the belief finally has the systems, data and tools to back it up

We're trusted by 1,400 organisations, including:

What that looks like day to day

What that looks like day to day

For HR teams, it means one source of truth instead of five exports stitched together before a board meeting. 

For payroll teams, it means accuracy and control first, with less manual checking and fewer last-minute fixes before payday.

For the wider business, it means an HR and payroll system that's actually built around how UK organisations work, not a generic global template with the edges filed off to make it locally compliant. 

AI sits inside that connected suite, not in front of it. It works because the data underneath it is joined up, not because it's the headline.

Award-winning and accredited

Award-winning and accredited

Trust shows up in two different ways here. Our accreditations are the independent checks on how we work, the standards and security a procurement team digs into before anything else. Our awards are recognition from the industry and from customers, for the product and the people behind it. Different proof, different questions answered. Here's both.
