How VaynerMedia’s Chief Heart Officer created a seamless employee experience

The Challenge

VaynerMedia had grown to over 1,000 employees across six offices, but performance reviews and onboarding were still managed manually through Google Docs. As the company scaled, the process became inefficient, inconsistent, and out of step with their culture-first approach.

The Solution

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

The Results

Bob became VaynerMedia’s single platform for employee experience. Reviews, onboarding, and recognition are automated, consistent, and accessible across all global offices—lifting 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!
