How the GM of People and Talent at Montu built HR operations for rapid growth

The Challenge

Montu, Australia’s leading medical cannabis company, grew from 30 to 450 employees in 18 months. With rapid expansion across Australia and the UK, the team needed an HCM system to replace spreadsheets and Dropbox, automate HR processes, and support remote work.

The Solution

Montu implemented Bob for its intuitive design, live analytics, and flexibility. Rollout began just two weeks after hiring the first people team member, Jade Harvey.

The Results

Bob became Montu’s central HR hub, connecting the people team and executives through shared insights and analytics. It enabled consistent onboarding, better workforce planning, and helped maintain a strong company culture.

It’s been an insane journey, from 30 to 450, and there’s still more growth to come. I think having a system that’s enabled us to track all of that has been invaluable. Being able to set up automations and workflows to reduce manual work has been something invaluable to us.
