On January 8, 2025, Employment Hero, a global leader in employment solutions, acquired Humi, Canada’s trusted employment platform, in a deal valued at over CAD 100 million. This acquisition, among the largest recent transactions in Canadian tech, integrates Employment Hero’s Employment Operating System (eOS) with Humi’s localized expertise to enhance HR, payroll, and benefits solutions for Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Humi, founded nearly a decade ago, has developed employment tools to support Canadian businesses in prioritizing their workforce. The acquisition positions Humi to drive further product innovation and expansion, strengthening Employment Hero’s presence in Canada. Despite the acquisition, Humi will remain Canadian-operated, ensuring tailored support for local businesses.

Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP advised Humi, with a team including Will Shaw, Chris Dittrich, Hashim Ghazi, Satnam Singh Dosanjh, Véronique Poulin, Alec Mcllwraith-Black, Nicky Young (Articling Student), and Dongwoo Kim (Articling Student).
