Just joined HCHR? Introduce yourself here!

Hi all! I’m so excited to be a member of this community! My name is Nancy and I’m the VP of People at Flawless Recruit. We’re a fully-distributed team of recruiting consultants in the US working with clients to help them build their fast-growing teams. We just implemented Bob in January of this year and have been really happy so far. I feel like I’m still discovering new features and how they can help our team and I’m hoping to learn from other community members how to make the most of it all. I love talking about employee experience, L&D, performance management and any number of other topics. 

Hi everyone!

Playground has had a massive growth over the last year and we are in the process of modernizing and automatizing most of our processes, and workflows, so we are very excited to count with bob! 

I am fairly new in the company, as analyst, and first time user of bob, so I am very happy to be part of this community to support each other. Hope to talk to all of you soon! 

Best,

Hello everyone, 🖐🏻

Very happy to join the community ! My name is Valentin and I am currently working as head of HRIS for 360learning. We are an HR tech startup that promotes collaborative with a new approach to LMS.

Bob’s implementation is almost done for us and we are very much looking forward to start working with the tool after several weeks of design on it !

I have quite an extensive experience about HRIS & core HR (workday, ADP...), but I still have a lot to learn. I will be very happy to contribute to product discussions and help out whenever I can !

Cheers,

Hey everyone,

I’m Lauren 👋🏻  I’m the Head of People Experience at Learnerbly, based in London, UK ✨ We’re a learning marketplace, (think Etsy, but for learning!).

Things you can ask me about:

• People Experience as a Product - it’s my passion area and could talk about it all day!
• Learning Budgets - if you’re exploring how to get a better usage of your team / individual learning budgets (Learnerbly are probably for you!)
• Performance Mgmt - we’re about to trial a co-created unique approach to measuring and performance, wish us luck 😅

This is my second role with Bob and a huge cheerleader - it just makes our lives so much easier!, Super happy to be part of the community 🤗

Speak soon

Lauren

@nancy @JanaOReilly @Susi @Sander Bais @valentin.kiselak @laurenmason we're so glad you're here! thank you for helping us kick off the first round of intros!

@laurenmason @nancy I've worked with each of you in person and thrilled to see you both here together - you share a lot in common on the employee experience / performance fronts 😍

Hi all - I’m Rony and the Chief People Officer at a tech company called AMPLYFI. We provide business and market intelligence to large corporates and organisations through our AI-driven software products. About 80% of our team is based in the UK, but we have team members in Germany, India, Pakistan and the US. 

My work covers the full lifecycle, and since joining I’ve also introduced performance management and more structure to our reward and recognition provision. We’ve been through a number of not-so-great HR platforms until we found Bob just over 2 years ago and it’s been superb. I’m a huge fan but still think there so much more we can get from the platform. 

I’m hugely passionate about coaching and making that part of our culture. I also want us to be a great employer, not just a great tech company, so I love joining communities like this where you all have so many great ideas and best practice to share. 

Hi folks!

I’m Sara, the Chief People Officer at Jobber. We’re a high growth software company that provides business management software for small business in the home service industry (think anyone that works in, on or around your home). We are about 500 people right now and have two offices in Canada - our headquarters in Edmonton and another office in Toronto. We are remote first though and have employees in Canada, the US and LatAM. 

What I love talking about:

• Coaching and Development (have built a C&D team here at Jobber with certified coaches and learning specialists)
• Data / measurement / analytics
• Talent attraction, retention and employee value propositions
• So many other things! Anything people related really 😊

Looking forward to getting to know people here!

Sara

Thanks for making the connection @emily.arent! @laurenmason - I’ve never heard of the phrase “People Experience as a Product” … I’d love to know more about how you define that. 

Hi Everyone,

I’m Sofie. A Manager of People & Culture at IMPACT, which is a digital commerce agency with headquarters in Denmark. We recently acquired an agency in Sweden and are now close to 400 people across Europe. We moved to Hibob 1 year ago and haven’t looked back ever since. 

You will never hear the end of it if you ask me about:

• Talent Development
• Analytics
• Employee Experience

But to be honest, there a very few HR-related topics that I don’t care about.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys!

Best,

Sofie

Hi I’m Sophie,

I’m People Operations Manager at UNiDAYS, based in the UK and managed the implementation of hibob into our company in June 2020. I’m a huge advocate for the system, after using an very archaic system prior to this!

I’m really passionate about employee experience, particularly when it comes to our people processes and rolling out new initiatives. I love talking about systems, automation, onboarding and employee surveys - all of which I’d say are my key skills. That said, I’m interested in all aspects of HR and love exploring new approaches and ways of thinking.

Very happy to be part of this community where I hope to help others wth my experience, as well as learn lots of new things myself!

Sophie

Hi everyone - I’m Emily and I’m a Senior People Partner at EDITED, based in the UK. 

We’re about 140 people (and growing) based all over the world, with large teams concentrated in Bulgaria, the UK & the US. We’re a remote first company in the retail tech (SaaS) space. 

I’m particularly interested in these topics currently: 

• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion 
• Employee engagement & wellbeing 
• Hybrid work forces - how to keep people in the office & who work from home engaged & motivated

We moved to Bob in December 2021, so I’d love to connect with people who have successfully automated alllll the HR processes, as this is my current focus. 

Excited to be here!

Hi everyone, it’s so great to be part of this community!

I’m Head of People at Ledgy, a Sequoia-backed equity management software company. We help people teams manage equity and share ownership, giving employees more transparency and giving companies the tools to scale, particularly when hiring internationally.

We’re currently just over 60 team members spread across a couple countries and lately I’m very much focused into all things compensation, automation, performance and data. But really, always love to chat about all people topics 👐

Looking forward to many great insights to learn and share!

Sara

Hi Everyone!

I’m Kat, from Melbourne Australia. Working as Head of People Systems and insights at Property Exchange Australia (PEXA) we have had Bob in place for almost a year now. We have recently opened up offices in the UK so global expansion is on the cards! 
 

I’m really looking forward to hearing from other community members on their experience with Bob and how we can get the most out of the platform. There’s so much you can do - sometimes it’s overwhelming! 
 

I look forward to connecting with everyone and learning more about you and your organisations. 
 

Cheers ☺️ #avidbobber

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Kiira, Sr. HR Operations Specialist at Rovio, a global mobile-first games company that is best known for the global Angry Birds brand. We’re about 450 people across the Nordics (Finland, Sweden, Denmark) and Canada and we’ve been using Hibob for the past two years. I joined Rovio 2,5 months ago and I’m responsible for the HR tech in our team so I’ll be working a lot with Hibob and anything that is related to it. I’m still exploring all the different features that Hibob has to offer and currently we’re looking especially into Hibob’s payroll hub and whether that could be something we could start using to streamline our payroll process across all our locations (currently it’s a nightmare!). 

I’m very excited to be part of the community and to learn how to make the best out of Bob 😊

Cheers,

Kiira

@em_jenks Welcome! We see so many requests for knowledge sharing around HR automation. I’m compiling some feedback on this thread here if you’d like to contribute - curious which questions are top of mind for you at the moment!

Really happy to be apart of such a rich community. I’m originally from California, but happily building a great life in Oslo!

Hi folks. I am the CHRO of a soon to be merged group of companies in the Multi Family Office and Real Estate Co-Invest space. Will create a global company merged out of 3. Generally lots to do and will need to merge our tech also!  Cover all aspects of HR with my team in London and NY.

Hey team!

I am the HR Manager for a blockchain company called Ekta.io. We are based out of Bali, Indonesia but our whole team works remotely across the globe! Due to recent rapid growth I was hired to set up all HR practices which was overwhelming to say the least but that is where Bob comes in to save the day! 

I am really interested in understanding how to best improve organizational culture with a fully remote team (if anyone works in tech or the crypto space you know first hand how these people love to work themselves into the ground 😅). If anyone has any good tips I would love to hear from you! 

Cheers, Alex

Hi Y’all

I am excited to learn from everyone on how they are handling remote work and creating a cohesive company culture across wide portions of the globe. I also am thrilled to be leading the charge on our learning and development front and using HiBob to tie that in with goal setting.

Once again I am thrilled to be a part of this community and combine our collective knowledge.

Cheers,

Jack
