How the Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia transformed their employee lifecycle management

The Challenge

Managing over 1,000 employees in six offices, VaynerMedia handled performance reviews and onboarding manually with Google Docs. As they expanded, the process became inefficient, inconsistent, and detached from their culture-first approach.

The Solution

VaynerMedia adopted Bob to optimize the entire employee lifecycle, from onboarding through reviews, while maintaining its inclusive culture. They linked Bob with Greenhouse and leveraged the platform to monitor goals, engagement, and performance across locations.

The Results

Bob became the central platform for employee experience at VaynerMedia. Reviews, onboarding, and recognition are now automated, consistent, and reachable across global offices, boosting both efficiency and engagement.

I researched different HRIS for about 18 months—I was searching for a system that would give me what I like to call a baseball card of information… extremely user-friendly, good looking and able to give me the information I needed in just one or two clicks. When I saw Bob it was slam dunk!
