How the Senior Manager of People Operations at Kustomer improved HR consistency across regions

The Challenge

Kustomer expanded quickly across the US and Spain after acquiring another company. Onboarding, reviews, and reporting were manual, slow, and inconsistent—making it hard to maintain structure and visibility across teams.

The Solution

Kustomer opted for Bob to digitize onboarding, automate performance reviews, and centralize people data. They integrated Bob with existing systems and added 360° feedback, goal setting, and manager dashboards for better visibility.

The Results

With Bob, Kustomer now runs streamlined onboarding and review cycles for every team. The HR team saves time, managers track performance smoothly, and employees start with clear, structured onboarding from day one.

There are many platforms that specialize in one specific area of HR, whether performance or onboarding. We wanted an innovative platform that did a bit of everything, supported our overall goals, and would grow with us.
