New releases in ELMO: What we’re working on in Q1 of FY27

There’s a lot happening at ELMO right now, with new products launching and existing ones being refreshed. Behind every release, we always go back to this question: how do we help HR teams spend less time on admin and more time supporting their people? We landed on three key areas: 

• Connecting workforce insights to action, faster
  Turning your people’s data into decisions you can act on, across pay, capability and career direction.
• Accelerating what HR can do with less friction
  Removing the manual steps, extra vendors and workarounds that slow hiring and learning down.
• Refining ELMO for HR practitioners and managers
  Making the products you use every day faster, cleaner and more intuitive.

Connecting workforce insights to action, faster

Salary Intelligence

Pay decisions are some of the most consequential calls HR makes. But for most teams, salary benchmarking still consists of manual research, expensive third-party data subscriptions or educated guesswork.

Salary Intelligence changes all that. Rather than relying on broad survey data, Salary Intelligence combines your role context with publicly available market signals and anonymised and aggregated data from real-time ELMO job offer data. It’s an AI-powered salary benchmarking capability embedded directly in ELMO, designed to help HR teams benchmark roles faster and more confidently.

Capability Forecast

Which of your capabilities will AI disrupt, and where should you invest in reskilling? Capability Forecast shows you where AI impact is likely to be strongest across job families. It analyses your organisation’s capability framework and gives you a comprehensive 12 to 24 month AI opportunity analysis.

Instead of just relying on generic market reports on AI disruption, Capability Forecast is an AI-powered capability planning tool that uses your actual workforce data to produce insights that are specific to your organisation. 

Career Explorer 

Upskilling, cross-skilling or reskilling employees is also one of the key challenges HR professionals face, according to the 2026 HR Industry Benchmark Report. We’ve designed Career Explorer to help solve for this. 

With Career Explorer, employees are empowered to take ownership of their career direction and map their capability gaps against the roles they want now or in the future. For managers, this means clearer visibility into employee fit and gaps.

Accelerating what HR can do with less friction

Employment Checks in ELMO Recruitment

The compliance burden of hiring has mostly required a separate vendor, workflow and invoice. Employment Checks, powered by Referoo, brings all of this into ELMO Recruitment. 

• Request, track and receive check results directly from the candidate record.
• Get status updates in real-time, automated reminders and completed PDF reports attached to the record all without leaving ELMO. 
• It’s one workflow, one vendor and one monthly ELMO invoice.

AI-powered personalised learning paths in ELMO Learning 

Turning a capability gap into a meaningful learning experience has always required some manual effort. Not anymore. We’re giving you time back with AI-powered personalised learning paths inside ELMO Learning.

• Generate a complete, structured 4,500–6,000 word learning experience within seconds, the moment a capability gap is identified.
• Each path is built around the employee’s specific gap, current proficiency and target requirements: core concepts, practical exercises, case studies, reflection prompts and a manager discussion guide.
• Do all of this in one place, without leaving ELMO.

Mobile learning is now more accessible

We’ve made mobile learning more accessible to allow employees and managers to review and track their learning on the go. Course catalogue browsing, search, file uploads and push notifications for learning and surveys are now live on the ELMO mobile app. Download the app on Apple App and Google Playstore.

Face 2 Face session booking will also be our priority for Q1 in FY27, to allow workers in healthcare, retail, hospitably to find a session, book it, see it in their calendar, and mark it complete. Stay tuned for more. 

Refining ELMO for HR practitioners and managers across Australia and New Zealand 

On top of new releases, we’ve also been working on current features to make the ELMO experience more intuitive and easy for HR teams in ANZ.

Below is a summary of what’s updated and what’s to come. To see everything on what we’re committed to delivering this quarter, explore our Q1 Roadmap.
