About Linq HR
Linq HR: HR Tech and employee relations expertise, built in Australia for Australian employers.
Linq HR is a Melbourne based HR business. We operate Workforce Directory®, Australia's marketplace of HR and workforce service providers, and provide fractional employee relations support to employers.
Who we are
HR people who have worked on both sides of the market
Our experience comes from people who understand HR from the inside: inside HR departments, and as suppliers to them. Award interpretation, dispute resolution, compliance obligations, employee motivation, workflows and workforce complexity are not add-ons for us; they are the day-to-day of the work.
We combine deep industrial relations and human resources expertise with intuitive technology, so HR teams have the tools and support to deliver internally with impact.

Workforce Directory®
Australia's dedicated marketplace for HR, recruitment, payroll, safety, training and workforce services: 8,000+ provider listings across 24 service areas. Free for employers to search; providers list from free. Australian developed, owned, hosted and managed.
