Humanforce

Humanforce was founded in 2002 in Sydney and has grown into a leading HCM platform for frontline and flexible workforces. With 2,300+ customers and over 600,000 users, the company serves industries including aged care, hospitality, retail, local government, and mining. Humanforce is backed by Accel-KKR — the same private equity firm behind Quartex — and has raised $16.1M in funding.

The company has been an active acquirer, purchasing Ento (workforce scheduling, 2022), intelliHR (performance management, 2023), Wagestream (financial wellbeing, 2023), and LiveHire (talent pooling and ATS, December 2024, for A$17.2M). While not mining-specific, Humanforce's specialisation in Australian workforce conditions — including complex award interpretation, fatigue management features, and Fair Work compliance — makes it relevant for mining operations. The shared Accel-KKR investor connection with Quartex suggests potential strategic alignment in the mining workforce space.
