How Christine Luo from Airtasker transformed their HR system

The Challenge

The HR team relied on disconnected tools without proper integration, making data entry, reporting, and people management inefficient. Airtasker needed an HRIS to automate processes, reduce manual work, and enhance the employee experience.

The Solution

Airtasker deployed Bob to automate HR processes, streamline onboarding, and reduce admin workload. With structured workflows, real-time analytics, and seamless integrations, the platform improved efficiency, decision-making, and team communication.

The Results

With Bob, Airtasker reduced onboarding time from five hours to 20 minutes. Automated workflows ensure accuracy, while real-time analytics improve reporting and workforce insights. Managers also monitor 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.
