How VaynerMedia’s Chief Heart Officer built a better employee experience

The Challenge

With over 1,000 employees across six offices, VaynerMedia was managing performance reviews and onboarding manually through Google Docs. As the company scaled, the process grew inefficient, inconsistent, and disconnected from their culture-first approach.

The Solution

VaynerMedia chose Bob to streamline the employee lifecycle—from onboarding to reviews—while reinforcing its inclusive culture. They integrated Bob with Greenhouse and used the platform to track goals, engagement, and performance across locations.

The Results

Bob became the single platform for employee experience at VaynerMedia. Reviews, onboarding, and recognition are now automated, consistent, and accessible across global offices, improving both efficiency and engagement.

I researched different HRIS for about 18 months—I was searching for a system that would give me what I like to call a baseball card of information… extremely user-friendly, good looking and able to give me the information I needed in just one or two clicks. When I saw Bob it was slam dunk!
