HR that stands behind its advice.
HRoes was founded on a simple frustration: SMEs pay for HR advice they can’t enforce, and insurance they can’t understand. So we built one product that does both.
Who we are
Why heroes HRoes
We took the “e” out of heroes on purpose. SMEs don’t need rescuing by a hero who arrives after something has gone wrong — they need a platform that keeps it from going wrong in the first place, and stands behind them if it does.
So we dropped the e, put a shield in its place, and built the product that actually carries the risk. Same name energy, grown-up job.
Protection, not heroics.
Our team
Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, HRoes was founded by Elissa Thursfield after experiencing a frustration shared by many HR professionals.
Throughout her career in senior HR leadership roles, Elissa saw countless HR systems that promised greater efficiency but instead created more administrative work. HR software should simplify HR – not make it harder.
We don’t sell “HR support”. We sell the outcome of good HR support: a business that stays compliant, well-run, and protected when it matters most.

I transitioned from private practice as a solicitor in 2022 to focus on developing HRoes, a legal tech SaaS solution embedded in an HR platform. The idea had been a long-time passion, and with a like-minded founding team, we launched into development. While excited about the project, my legal background led to the realisation that a synergy between technology and commercial employment law advice was what the market was missing. The success is further amplified by our exceptional team.”
