How ecosio’s People Operations Lead scaled HR without adding headcount

The Challenge

As a B2B integration provider, ecosio relied on a lightweight HR system that only supported time tracking. Payroll, performance cycles, and compensation reviews were manual and time-consuming, and the HR team lacked visibility into retention and engagement metrics.

The Solution

ecosio chose HiBob to automate workflows, improve data accuracy, and integrate with existing systems. Within 60 days, Bob was implemented and integrated with Slack, Notion, payroll, and IT ticketing systems.

The Results

ecosio streamlined operations, reduced manual work, and improved employee engagement and retention. Payroll processing time dropped by 75%, onboarding efficiency improved by up to eight days per hire, and retention increased by 7.7%.

Bob was able to support ecosio’s rapid growth without the need to substantially increase people operations headcount. We automated almost everything possible [in Bob]. Previously lacking engagement survey and analytics functionality, Bob has given ecosio full visibility into employee sentiment.
