Case Study: Skedulo (Brisbane‑based tech firm) achieves scalable, low‑touch onboarding and time savings with HR platform Employment Hero

Scalable Onboarding a Perfect Fit for Fast-growing Tech Firm

Skedulo, a fast‑growing Brisbane‑based mobile workforce scheduling platform that expanded from about 20 to 80 employees across Australia, the US and Vietnam, faced an urgent need to make onboarding low‑touch and seamless as hiring ramped up. Operations Manager Mitchell Ussher evaluated HR platforms and chose Employment Hero for its purpose‑built HR software and native Xero Payroll integration to replace time‑consuming manual processes.

Employment Hero implemented a paperless, centralised HR system—reviewing contracts, importing employee files, syncing with Xero Payroll, and enabling custom onboarding checklists and self‑service data entry. The change cut onboarding from a major time drain to minutes, reduced human error, improved managers’ visibility of leave and time, and saved Mitchell roughly 2 hours per week (about one workday per month), while giving new hires a smoother experience.
