Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Jet HR is an Italian HR technology company based in Milan that provides a single software platform for hiring, managing and paying employees. The product automates payroll processing, payment of salaries and F24 taxes, digital hiring with employer-cost simulation and digital signature, contract management, leave and remote-work tracking, attendance recording, shift management, expense reports, mandatory health-and-safety training and medical bookings, and tracking of company devices. Employees and contractors interact through a mobile app for requests such as holidays and expense claims. Alongside the software, each client is assigned a dedicated independent Consulente del Lavoro (labour consultant) partner who handles filings with public bodies and more complex matters; the company also serves external professionals and VAT-registered contractors within the same system.

The platform is built around the specifics of Italian labour law, including CCNL national collective agreements, TFR, INPS contributions and regional taxes, which the company positions as its core problem domain under the manifesto "we hate bureaucracy." After an initial focus on payroll, hiring and labour consulting, Jet HR added modules for Health and Safety, External Professionals, Shifts and Time Clock, and released Jet Studio, a product aimed at increasing the productivity of labour consultants. In April 2026 it launched Jet HR Enterprises, a division for larger organisations requiring multi-entity payroll and more complex approval chains. Capital raised in June 2025 is earmarked for more than ten additional modules spanning HR, finance and compliance.

Founding story

The company was founded in 2023 by Marco Ogliengo, previously founder of a technology company, and Francesco Scalambrino, a software manager with experience at unicorn companies. Ogliengo has described the product as the solution he wanted as an entrepreneur, citing the hours Italian SME leaders spend on bureaucracy and administrative interpretation; Scalambrino cited the gap he observed abroad, where employers, CFOs and HR managers handle the same tasks with far less complexity.

Business model

B2B software-as-a-service: Italian companies subscribe to the Jet HR platform for payroll and HR administration, with a bundled dedicated partner labour consultant and payroll specialist support. Pricing is presented as transparent with no hidden costs, and migration from an incumbent provider is handled by Jet HR in roughly two weeks. Free tools such as employer-cost calculators and net salary estimators are used as entry points.

Recurring subscription revenue from client companies; annual recurring revenue reported at EUR 7.5 million in January 2026 after tripling over twelve months, and six-fold ARR growth during 2024.

Traction

Client count grew from more than 300 companies after roughly twelve months of operation (September 2024) to about 700 in June 2025 and more than 1,500 by April 2026. The website cites over 20,000 payslips processed per month, more than EUR 5 million saved by clients, an average EUR 20k saving per company and 95% time saved. Payroll run time is reported to have fallen from four days to four hours. Headcount rose from 70 employees in September 2024 to 110 in June 2025 and 300 by April 2026. Capterra rating of 4.8/5, with 4.9/5 for ease of use.

Latest developments

In June 2025 Jet HR announced a EUR 25 million round led by Base10 Partners, its first investment in Italy, with proceeds directed at platform upgrades, more than ten new modules across HR, finance and compliance, and doubling the team within 18 months. By April 2026 the company reported more than 1,500 client companies, EUR 7.5 million ARR as of January 2026 and 300 employees, and had launched Jet HR Enterprises for larger organisations with multi-entity payroll and complex approval chains.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

Positioned as a domestic, Italy-specific alternative to traditional service-heavy payroll consultancies, addressing what Picus Capital describes as a EUR 4 billion Italian payroll market. Backers include Base10 Partners, Picus Capital, Exor Ventures, Italian Founders Fund and 2100 Ventures; both Picus Capital and Base10 Partners made their first Italian investment through the company. In 2024 it was described as positioned in the top decile of the world's fastest-growing SaaS companies.

Combination of automation software with a dedicated, independent certified labour consultant and payroll specialists, rather than software alone or a traditional consultancy; deep encoding of Italian labour rules (CCNL, TFR, INPS, regional taxes) including automatic application of tax breaks; end-to-end integration so that attendance, shifts, leave and expenses flow directly into payslips; and a fully Italy-built product. Reported average consultant response time is one hour.

Technology

Cloud-based HR platform that automates payroll generation, issuing and archiving and feeds leave, overtime, attendance, shifts and approved expenses automatically into payslips. It applies the correct CCNL rules and automatically applies tax breaks, supports digital contracts and signatures, smartphone-based clock-in/clock-out and mobile requests, and centralises employee and contractor records. Investor Picus Capital has framed the opportunity as AI-powered automation of Italy's service-heavy payroll market.

Go-to-market

Direct sales via demo requests and self-serve sign-up on the company website, supported by free calculators, customer testimonials published by client executives, and a network of more than 30 partner labour consultants. Expansion has been module-led, adding adjacent administrative functions on the basis of customer feedback, and segment-led through the Jet HR Enterprises division.

Italian small and medium-sized enterprises, plus startups, multinationals, listed companies and, since 2026, larger mid-market and enterprise organisations with multi-entity payroll needs. Named users span marketing agencies (Marketing Espresso, SPRNV, Gummy Industries), restaurants and hospitality (Bellini Group, Alfredo alla Scrofa), technology firms (Nibol, Cosaporto, Octopus Energy Italy, HelloFresh) and retail and services (House of Laundry, TuttoZoo).

Geography

Headquartered in Milan, Italy, with a product and customer base focused on the Italian market.
