Our Story: People-First HR
PeopleTide started with a simple observation: HR software was built for HR departments, not for people. While evaluating dozens of platforms for our own growing team, we kept asking ourselves—why does this have to be so complicated?
When You Can't Find What You Need, You Build It Yourself
We were a 50-person startup trying to compete for talent against tech giants. We needed HR tools that could help us punch above our weight—tools that would make candidates choose us, help employees thrive, and let our lean HR team focus on strategy, not spreadsheets.
When we couldn't find what we needed, we built it ourselves.
200+ Employees
People operations enthusiasts, engineers, designers, and customer advocates spread across 15 countries.
Enterprise Experience
Our leadership team has collectively managed HR for over 50,000 employees. We've felt your pain—and we're committed to solving it.
