About Workleap

Our business is built on a simple belief: 
There’s a better way to work.

But more than that, at Workleap, we know that for a business to run smoothly, it’s up to HR to set the pace and managers to boost impact.

That’s why we work tirelessly to bridge the gap of fragmented HR tech and inadequate HR tools with a unified, AI-powered platform we never stop perfecting.

Our Mission

Make work simpler

At Workleap, we help HR know how their people are doing at all times. We strive to offer the AI-powered tools they need to boost engagement, support performance management continuously, make better decisions faster, and run smart compensation programs.

Our story

Workleap was born after spending the better part of two decades asking ourselves a simple question: how can we craft software to make work simpler, kinder, and faster?

A call to build a better workplace

Over the years, we focused our energy on building great solutions to help businesses improve their talent management through engagement, performance and compensation.

Our team believes that creating environments where people are set up for success is not only good for employees, it’s good for business.

That’s us in a nutshell, and we are just getting started.

2005

The Workleap founders meet

Simon De Baene and Guillaume Roy first met on initiation day at university, where they were both enrolled in the Software Engineering program. Simon then introduced Guillaume to Sébastien Leduc, his childhood best friend. The trio would become an inseparable team for years to come—one more interested in building things than being model students.

2006

Workleap (formerly GSoft) is born

It started as a service company focusing on building custom software for anyone willing to work with inexperienced yet highly motivated 20-year-old kids.

This picture shows the very first Workleap office in Montréal. Looking back to where we started reminds us how far we’ve come and why we do what we do. What Workleap has always been at its core is a team of people passionate about finding better solutions to make work simpler.

2021

Workleap settles in new offices in Montréal

We upgraded our brick-and-mortar home to our beautiful office in the Nordelec, a historical building in Montréal, where everyone gathers twice a year (and whenever they feel like it in between).

The 2020 pandemic forced us—and everyone else—to rethink our ways of working. We firmly believe in the power of remote work and will never look back. But we also believe in the magic that can happen in an inspiring office built for collaboration and connection.

Who needs Workleap?

Our clients in a nutshell

The suite of Workleap talent management tools is perfect for small businesses with a small or no HR team. We know this can mean teams that are small, overstretched, and often blind to emerging issues, and that’s where our products come in—purpose-built alternatives to DIY chaos and clunky legacy tools.
