What’s the story behind the creation of Personio?
Personio’s market entry happened in 2015 with a minimum viable product of the software by the founders Hanno Renner, Ignaz Forstmeier, Roman Schumacher and Arseniy Vershinin and the team was completed by Jonas Rieke just shortly after. The founders met while studying together at the Center for Digital Technology & Management in Munich. The founders of Personio started the SaaS company to tackle a common problem: they realized that HR tasks are time-inefficient processes that consume the company’s money and the workers’ valuable time. Therefore, the startup designed and implemented a flexible and holistic HR and Applicant Management software to bundle all HR processes digitally into one solution and is adaptable as well as affordable for small and medium businesses from 10 to 1.000 employees. To date, Personio has been awarded several times and plays an essential role in making the day-to-day operations of more than 1.000 HR teams across the globe more effective and transparent. What started off as a simple idea has quickly turned into the new best friend of HR managers who have everything under control and can manage the entire work cycle of each employee in one place.
What’s your company culture like?
We see ourselves as one big team with a common objective, always thinking about how others could benefit from our knowledge and experience. We strive for a pleasant environment and a friendly relationship in which we have fun as a team, appreciate humor and celebrate our success together through regular team events. Each quarter we set ambitious goals that define the “what” while everyone is responsible for finding out the “how”. We achieve these milestones through open communication and transparent decisions across all departments. In short: we are passionate about making Personio even more successful by facilitating the daily HR work for many companies in the B2B area and, at the same time, becoming the digital forerunner of people management by exchanging our learnings & know-how with other HR experts within the industry.
What is your team like? How do you work?
As a startup, we work agile, dynamic and outcome-oriented. Our working principles determine the culture at Personio, how we interact as a team and make daily decisions. We seek solutions instead of complaining about problems and focus on achievements rather than shortcomings. We take initiative, both inside and outside our role, and involve all relevant people. We are able to communicate precisely, collaborate efficiently and always put customer satisfaction first in every decision. We want to improve individually and as a company and, therefore, always question the status quo and challenge ourselves as well as others constructively.
We work together in small mission-based teams to focus on a specific and well-defined task, love good coffee and value results more than dress code. Our team now consists of around 140 employees and comes from over 23 nations. There is close cooperation between the different teams so that compatibility and communication are ensured in all our developments and decisions. Embrace the adventure of our startup world, take full responsibility for your area and use the opportunity to help shape our company in its growth phase.
