Personio Salaries & Compensation

Personio is a Munich-based HR Tech company founded in 2013 by Hanno Renner, Ignaz Forstmeier, Jonas Rieke, Arseniy Vershinin, and Roman Schumacher that built Europe's leading all-in-one HR software platform specifically designed for the underserved SME market — giving European companies of 10–2,000 employees a single system for recruiting, digital onboarding, HR administration, payroll, performance management, absence tracking, and HR analytics that replaces the spreadsheets and paper forms still used by the majority of European SMEs to manage their people operations. Its deep localization for European employment law, payroll regulations, and HR workflows across Germany, Spain, the UK, and other markets differentiates it sharply from US-origin HR systems that struggle with European regulatory complexity. Having raised over $500 million at an €8.5 billion valuation — making it one of Europe's most valuable B2B software unicorns — and employing 2,000+ people across Munich, London, Madrid, and Amsterdam, Personio is the defining HR platform for the European mid-market.
