Personio, a Munich-founded HR software company, employs about 1,270 people across Europe and North America. Recent staffing data show 215 new hires alongside 278 departures, keeping overall headcount above the 1,200-employee mark while allowing the organisation to rebalance skills where needed. The company continues to support a broad product roadmap and growing customer base with a sizeable mix of commercial and technical talent.
Customer-facing work makes up the largest share of Personio’s staff, with Sales and Support accounting for roughly two-fifths of all employees. Engineering is the next-largest group at a little over one-quarter of the workforce, underscoring the firm’s emphasis on product development. Marketing & Product, HR, Business Management and Finance & Administration each contribute between 5 % and 13 % of total headcount, while specialist functions such as IT, Project Management and Operations make up the remainder. Hiring activity has centred on commercial and technical roles, with turnover spread fairly evenly across departments.
Munich remains Personio’s biggest office, housing just under one-third of employees, followed closely by a sizeable remote and ‘other locations’ category. Dublin represents the largest hub outside Germany, and Berlin also hosts a significant share of staff. London, Madrid and Amsterdam provide additional European coverage, while smaller teams in New York and San Francisco extend the company’s footprint to North America. This distributed model allows Personio to tap into diverse talent pools while maintaining a strong presence in its home market.
