Frequently asked questions
What is 50skills?
50skills is an AI HR workflow automation platform that turns HR processes such as onboarding, offboarding, leave requests and approvals into automated workflows. HR teams describe a process in plain language and the platform builds it, with forms, approval steps, notifications and integrations, then tracks every case with a full audit trail. It was founded in Reykjavík, Iceland, in 2017.
What HR processes can 50skills automate?
50skills automates HR processes that run on forms, approvals, tasks and handoffs, from simple requests to complex multi-path workflows. Common examples are onboarding and offboarding, holiday and leave requests, expense reimbursements, equipment requests, incident reporting, candidate nurturing and IT ticket routing. Customers have also automated visa processing at Air Atlanta and an employee stock option process at Festi.
Is 50skills an HRIS?
No. 50skills is an AI workflow automation platform for HR, not a human resources information system. An HRIS such as BambooHR, Personio, HiBob or Workday stores employee records and stays the system of record. The workflow platform runs the processes around those records, such as onboarding, approvals and employee requests, and can start workflows from triggers in the HRIS.
Who uses 50skills?
HR and people teams across the Nordics and the UK use 50skills. Customers include Icelandair and Air Atlanta in aviation, Eimskip and Samskip in shipping and logistics, Íslandshótel and Blue Lagoon in hospitality, Festi and Samkaup in retail, and Domino's, Securitas, CCP, the City of Reykjavík and Iceland's Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
What results have companies achieved with 50skills?
50skills customers report saving hundreds of hours of HR admin. Icelandair has digitised more than 20 HR workflows and removes 4 to 5 months' worth of admin each year. Air Atlanta saves 50 hours a week by automating visa processing, Íslandshótel spends 80% less time on employee benefit applications across its 19 hotels, and Festi avoided over 200 hours of manual input in its employee stock option process.
Where is 50skills based?
50skills is based in Reykjavík, Iceland, where it was founded in 2017. The venture-backed company is led by co-founder and CEO Kristján Freyr Kristjánsson. In September 2026 it raised $6 million in a round co-led by Frumtak Ventures, Swiss Post Ventures, Avant and DRD Investments, and it was named ICT Company of the Year at the 2026 Sky ICT Awards in Iceland.
How do teams get started with 50skills?
Teams can start with a free 14-day trial, a free HR automation consultation or a done-for-you set-up. The trial lets you build and test real workflows yourself, with no upfront payment. The consultation pinpoints which HR tasks to automate first. With the done-for-you option, 50skills specialists build your workflows, starting with a workshop, and most teams see their first workflow live within a few weeks.
