How the Director of Talent Acquisition and Compensation from Defined.ai scaled their people processes

The Challenge

Defined.ai had operations across the US, Portugal, and the Far East where a small team managed HR manually. Onboarding wasn’t consistent, reviews lacked structure, and there was no centralized data system—making it hard to scale or gain useful people insights.

The Solution

Defined.ai implemented Bob to centralize employee data, automate onboarding, and introduce structured performance reviews. The team created self-assessments, tracked turnover, and used analytics to support retention and DEI strategies.

The Results

With Bob, Defined.ai expanded its people processes across locations, swapping manual systems for automation and visibility. Employees had a better onboarding experience, performance reviews became more meaningful, and HR unlocked strategic insights.

In 2020, we doubled the size of our company. We couldn’t have hired as many people as we did without Bob. We can now automate all our processes, which saves us a lot of time and resources.
