How Airtasker’s People Experience Specialist streamlined their HR operations

The Challenge

The HR team had disconnected tools that didn’t integrate, making data entry, reporting, and people management inefficient. Airtasker required an HRIS to automate processes, minimize manual work, and enhance the employee experience.

The Solution

Airtasker rolled out Bob to automate HR processes, streamline onboarding, and ease admin workload. Using structured workflows, real-time analytics, and seamless integrations, the platform boosted efficiency, decision-making, and team communication.

The Results

With Bob, Airtasker cut onboarding time from five hours to 20 minutes. Automated workflows ensure accuracy, while real-time analytics enhance reporting and workforce insights. Managers also track key milestones, promoting 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.
