Koru Kids grows from 4 to 60 employees with CharlieHR

Koru Kids, a London-based childcare services startup, faced significant HR challenges as they grew from 4 to 60 employees.

This allowed them to successfully sponsor visas, a capability that gave them a competitive advantage in hiring.

The vendor, CharlieHR, provided a foundation that saved them immense time and effort, ensuring 100% compliance and supporting their seamless growth.
