HR Infrastructure for Modern Investment-Backed Companies
Phrism HCM is a unified people platform built for VC and PE-backed organisations — giving leadership real-time visibility, control, and governance across teams, entities, and portfolios.
pHRism is behind the UK's fastest growing VC, PE & Holding Firms
Built on a Decade of HR Systems Expertise
For over ten years, Phrism has helped high-growth and enterprise organisations design, implement, and govern complex HR and payroll systems. That experience revealed a clear gap — existing HR platforms weren’t built for scale, structure, or investor-grade oversight.
Phrism HCM is the result: a purpose-built platform shaped by real-world implementations, regulatory complexity, and the operational realities of fast-growing, multi-entity organisations.
