HigherUp

HigherUp delivers Workforce Analytics fueled by real-time data from a unified Workforce Automation and Payroll offering. The job it does: keeping employee records, time off and documents in one system.

The natural audience is HR teams and growing companies. Alongside the main category they mention Analytics, Big Data, Human Resources and Machine Learning. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

HigherUp is based in Pasadena, California and founded in 2014. You can read more at gohigherup.com.

Things worth asking about: payroll integration, onboarding workflows, and self-service. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with HigherUp, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
