Employment Hero, a Sydney-based human resources technology startup, has raised $22 million in an investment round.

Led by Australia online employment marketplace provider SEEK, the round also secured support from OneVentures and AirTree Ventures.

Employment Hero intends to use the net proceeds from the funding to back its global extension to New Zealand, south-east Asia, the UK and Ireland.

With the latest funding round, the startup is now valued at more than $100 million.
