Kern was born from frustration with HR software that was either too generic, too expensive, or too hard to use. We set out to build something that actually fits the way modern teams work.
Today, enterprise-grade HR tools are locked behind six-figure contracts. Small and mid-size businesses — hotels, construction firms, tech startups, restaurants — deserve the same quality.
Kern ships the same compliance, the same automation, and the same recruiting pipeline to a 12-person gastronomy team as it does to a 500-person finance firm.
We build tools that surface what matters — no dashboards full of numbers nobody reads.
GDPR and BDSG compliance baked in from day one. Your employees' data belongs to them.
Generic HR software ignores your context. We ship templates for 7 industries.
Fast setup, sensible defaults, zero migration headaches.
