We’re Here to Re-engineer the Potential in Your People

Born from the frustration of watching businesses waste time and money on HR admin, Mecano was created to do things differently — to make the complex, simple.

We didn’t just build a better way. We made it fun.

Our Story

We spotted a problem as we do work in HR: endless hours, high costs, and zero joy. So we turned compliance into a game, automation into a laugh, and serious business into seriously good business. We created Mecano to make HR work for humans, not the other way around.

Why We’re Different

  • We speak your language (not HR gobbledygook)

  • We automate what others consult on

  • We’ve gamified compliance (yes, seriously)

  • We’re led by people who’ve been in your shoes

  • We mix mischief with method

Meet the Team

We’re a bit like Mick — smart, resourceful, slightly cheeky, and always up for a good chat. We know HR inside out, and we’re not afraid to call it what it is: boring. That’s why we built a system that brings joy back into business.

Core Values

  • We make the complicated, simple

  • We believe work should be fun

  • We automate the mundane so humans can thrive

  • We speak the truth (even to kings!)

  • We value transparency, belonging and joy
