Charlie HR are building well-designed and easy-to-use tools for companies to manage their people.

With the increasing number of startups in the UK, Charlie HR have a growing market to capitalise on. The HR software space is a little crowded, so it will be important for them to keep their strong brand and focus on the niche they're in.

  • We give energy - Bringing energy to meetings. Offering solutions to other’s challenges. Starting discussions from a place of possibility rather than impossibility
  • We drive for results - Questioning if there’s a faster or more efficient way to achieve a desired outcome. Meeting expectations as to when results or goals should be hit
  • We are humble - Being open minded to new ideas, and love challenging each other in a positive way. Celebrating success as a team, not individuals
