Humaans
VerifiedHR & People · humaans.io
Overview
Humaans is a cloud-based HRIS (human resources information system) built for high-growth and globally distributed companies. It centralizes the employee lifecycle - people directory, onboarding/offboarding automation, document and absence management, workflows, and analytics - with a fast, minimalist interface and a developer-friendly API. Rather than bundling native payroll or a full ATS, it emphasizes deep integrations with best-of-breed payroll, ATS, and performance tools. Founded in 2020 and backed by Y Combinator (W21), it remains an independent company headquartered in London.
The problem Humaans solves
Fast-growing, distributed teams often outgrow spreadsheets and clunky legacy HR systems but don't want a heavy all-in-one suite. Humaans centralizes the employee lifecycle in a fast, modern interface and connects to best-of-breed payroll, ATS, and performance tools via 90+ integrations and an open API. It is a fit for SMB and mid-market teams building a custom HR stack, less so for those needing native payroll or a single all-in-one platform.

What we found
Humaans holds a strong 4.8/5 on G2 across ~105 reviews and 4.7/5 on Capterra, though Capterra volume is very low (3 reviews) and it has minimal published presence on TrustRadius.
