HR tools help you hire people and manage your team. They hold staff records, salaries, and contracts, which is very sensitive data. European tools keep it under EU law, where employment rules also live. Personio, from Germany, is built for European small and mid-sized companies. Factorial, from Spain, covers hiring, time off, and payroll. Your team's personal data stays in Europe.
