Description
October is an HR company built around a single idea: put people data, wellbeing support and expert HR guidance in one connected system instead of three separate vendors. The platform, October People, unifies employee records across the whole employee lifecycle, from hiring through performance, growth and workforce planning.

October People is described as an AI-first human capital management system with 34 modules covering everyday HR tasks, recruitment, career growth, team development and workforce planning, with role-based access so employee information reaches only the right people. Its recruitment line, October Recruitment, includes AI-assisted sourcing (Cara), screening and interviews, and a connected applicant tracking system. An assistant called October AI helps managers prepare for check-ins by pulling in recent goals, feedback and recognition, and surfaces priorities like manager quality or retention risk for HR and leadership.
October Health is the employee-facing wellbeing product: private, confidential conversations for stress, burnout and mental health support, alongside aggregate, anonymized signals that let leaders see patterns like workload pressure in a team without identifying individuals. October reports organizations reaching around 65% reach into their workforce, roughly ten times typical EAP utilization.
October Advisory adds expert HR advice and implementation support on top of the platform. Across all three products, October is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR compliant, and describes its AI governance as reviewable and its wellbeing conversations as private by default, with leaders seeing only group-level trends.
October publishes customer results from organizations using the platform: Forvis Mazars reports a 50% reduction in burnout after working with October's team to target specific wellbeing challenges, PROPR reports employee programme adoption rising from 1.4% to 55%, and iWYZE reports a 24-point improvement in employee Net Promoter Score. October also runs a People Intelligence Summit event for HR leaders.
October is built for HR leaders, people teams, CEOs and CFOs at mid-size and larger organizations who want recruitment, performance management and employee wellbeing under one system, with customer case studies in finance, law, technology, retail and the public sector. Pricing scales across the People, Health and Advisory modules an organization chooses rather than being published as a fixed consumer price.
