How Airtasker’s People Experience Specialist modernized their HR operations

The Challenge

The HR team worked with disconnected tools that didn’t integrate, making data entry, reporting, and people management inefficient. Airtasker needed an HRIS to automate processes, cut manual work, and elevate the overall employee experience.

The Solution

Airtasker implemented Bob to automate HR processes, streamline onboarding, and lighten admin workload. Through structured workflows, real-time analytics, and tight integrations, the platform boosted efficiency, decision-making, and team communication.

The Results

Airtasker cut onboarding time from five hours to 20 minutes with Bob. Automated workflows ensure accuracy, and real-time analytics improve reporting and workforce insights. Managers also track key milestones, nurturing recognition and belonging.

Onboarding on Bob has saved us so much time! Even reminders for managers like anniversaries and birthdays are now completely automated, which has reduced our overall cognitive load as a team. The analytics features have also been amazing—this has been the most impactful in terms of how we draw insights from our people data to now be even more strategic and proactive in our decision making.

FAQs about HiBob for HR admins in Australia

How does HiBob help HR admins manage data accurately across multiple countries?

HiBob keeps all your employee data in one place, with built-in support for different countries and their requirements. You set up workflows once, and they run the same way every time—no more worrying about inconsistent processes or missed steps. Every change gets logged automatically, so you always have a clear audit trail when you need it.

How can HiBob help build engagement and connection in hybrid teams?

HiBob gives you pulse surveys to check in on how people are feeling, plus a company feed where you can share news and celebrate wins. Employees can give each other shout-outs, and you can track engagement trends over time to see what’s working. It helps people feel connected to the team even when they’re not in the same office.

How does HiBob help HR admins spend less time on repetitive tasks?

HiBob automates the stuff that usually eats up your day—onboarding checklists, time-off approvals, document requests, reminders. You build the workflow once and it handles the rest, so you’re not manually chasing people or copying data between systems. That frees you up to focus on work that actually needs your attention.
