How the Senior Manager of People Operations at Kustomer improved HR consistency across locations

The Challenge

After acquiring another company, Kustomer expanded quickly across the US and Spain. Onboarding, reviews, and reporting were slow, manual, and scattered, making it hard to maintain consistency and access accurate insights.

The Solution

Kustomer implemented Bob to digitize onboarding, automate performance reviews, and centralize people data. The team integrated Bob with existing tools and added 360° feedback, goal setting, and manager dashboards for enhanced visibility.

The Results

Now, Kustomer manages consistent review cycles and onboarding across every team. With Bob, HR saves valuable time, managers track performance directly, and employees experience clear, structured onboarding from their first day.

There are many platforms that specialize in one specific area of HR, whether performance or onboarding. We wanted an innovative platform that did a bit of everything, supported our overall goals, and would grow with us.
