Bob Success Story:

How Montu scaled 1,400% in 18 months with Bob

Montu's Journey

Montu, one of Australia’s leading alternative medicine companies, scaled from 30 to 450 employees in just 18 months.

With staff across Australia and the UK, early HR processes ran on spreadsheets and Dropbox. When Jade Harvey joined as GM of People and Talent, she quickly championed a modern HCM solution, selecting Bob for its intuitive interface and real-time analytics.

Since then, Montu’s people team has grown to 20 and have adopted new Bob modules to match their evolving needs.

The result? A streamlined, scalable HR platform that’s kept pace with rapid growth.

A strategic partnership between c-suite & people team

When Montu had just 30 employees, they lacked an HCM and reliable people data. Without insight into trends like growth, attrition, or retention, strategic planning was challenging. “We just had a spreadsheet,” recalls Jade Harvey, GM of People and Talent, “and you’d try to work it out.”

With Bob, the people team now tracks KPIs and workforce trends in real time, creating tailored executive reports and sharing insights directly with the C-suite.

This knowledge-sharing has forged a new partnership between the C-suite and people team, giving the people team a seat at the executive table and positioning them as a valuable resource for the business.

Future Planning

Consistent Onboarding

With Bob, Montu can create a consistent remote onboarding experience for their new starters.

Catering for Growth

Bob’s modular platform enabled Montu to acquire new modules as their needs grew.

“Having Bob as our central repository for all information and data has helped us to drive a high-performance culture as we’ve got metrics for measuring people’s performance, attendance, and feedback, and manager notes in there for anything that needs to be worked through.”

Scaling HR during Hypergrowth

Montu’s jump from 30 to 450 employees in 18 months transformed their HR priorities. High-volume hiring made remote onboarding a top focus. Using Bob’s onboarding workflows, the people team created consistent, role-specific onboarding experiences that new hires have praised.

To support smart growth, Montu leverages Bob’s job catalog to map job architecture, align titles, and track headcount by role. Workforce Planning helps them budget, plan, and approve future hires across the business.

As needs evolved, Montu added modules like Workforce Planning, Compensation, and Your Voice, following a clear roadmap. Bob’s modular system has been key to managing their rapid expansion.

With Bob, Montu confidently delivers consistent, culture-driven employee experiences from onboarding through to offboarding and everything in between.

“We are very trusted as a people team, and our opinion is valued. We’re seen as a partner to the business, not the typical cost-center type setup.”
