About PeopleFirstHR

PeopleFirstHR is a UK-based HR software specialist with over 25 years’ experience helping small and medium-sized businesses replace manual processes with the right HR systems — implemented properly and supported for the long term.
We work with a small number of trusted, specialist software partners, which means every recommendation we make is genuinely the best fit for your organisation — not the easiest sale for us.
Our story
We’ve been working in HR software since the late 1990s, starting out delivering training, consultancy and implementation services across more than 200 customer sites throughout the UK. Over the years we built deep expertise across HR, recruitment, time & attendance, e-learning and employment law software — and a reputation for doing the job properly.
As the market evolved, so did we. When the software products we originally supported were discontinued, we sought out the best available replacements — choosing partners based on quality, value and long-term viability rather than commercial convenience. That same independence guides who we work with today.
We now partner with a carefully selected group of specialist providers — including YouManageHR, People Inc., VinciWorks Astute, hireful, Capture IT and WorkNest — giving UK SMEs access to best-in-class HR tools with the implementation expertise and ongoing support that makes the difference between software that sits unused and software that genuinely transforms how a business manages its people.
Why businesses choose us
Most HR software vendors will sell you a licence and hand you a user guide. We do things differently. We take time to understand your organisation, recommend the right solution for your needs, handle the implementation, and stay with you afterwards — answering questions, refining processes and helping you get more value as you grow.
That approach has earned us long-term relationships with more than 200 organisations across the UK, ranging from SMEs to well-known names including the Royal Opera House, Lakeland and Wynnstay.

HR software systems
We work with a hand-picked range of cloud and on-premise HR systems, giving you genuine choice rather than a one-size-fits-all product. With 25+ years of hands-on implementation experience, we know what works — and what doesn’t.
Services
From initial scoping and system selection through to data migration, configuration and training, we manage the full implementation process. We can also support legacy system upgrades and migrations, anywhere in the UK.
Customer support
After go-live, we stay with you. Our UK-based support team is available by phone, email and remote access — so you always have someone who knows your system and your business to turn to.
Our partners
We work closely with our software partners — including YouManageHR, People Inc. by P&A Software, VinciWorks, hireful, Capture IT and WorkNest — to stay up to date with every development and make sure our customers always get the most from their systems.
