How Airtasker’s People Experience Specialist transformed their HR processes

The Challenge

With separate tools that weren’t integrated, the HR team found data entry, reporting, and people management inefficient. Airtasker needed an HRIS to automate processes, cut down on manual work, and improve the employee experience.

The Solution

Airtasker adopted Bob to automate HR processes, simplify onboarding, and lighten admin workload. With structured workflows, real-time analytics, and seamless integrations, the platform boosted efficiency, decision-making, and team communication.

The Results

With Bob, Airtasker reduced onboarding time from five hours to 20 minutes. Real-time analytics strengthen reporting and workforce insights, while automated workflows ensure accuracy. Managers also track key milestones, fostering 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.
