PM HANDS-ON SPRINT / HR TECH

You spent millions on an HR platform. People still use Excel.

2 weeks. I diagnose why adoption is failing and leave you a plan that fixes it.

No value after week 1 — you pay 7,500 PLN instead of 25,000

Problem

The board is asking about platform ROI. You have nothing to show.

1

Implementation was supposed to take 6 months. It's been a year and a half.

Scope creep. ATS integration doesn't work. GDPR blocked 3 features. The deadline shifts every quarter.

2

HR teams refuse to switch from the old system

"Excel works fine for me." "The old system is better." You invested millions in a platform that 80% of users ignore. Because the platform solves MANAGEMENT's problem, not the HR TEAM's problem.

3

ATS/ERP/SAP integration is hell

Every ATS has a different API. eRecruiter, Greenhouse, Lever — each works differently. The "2-week integration" takes 3 months.

A 12M PLN platform with 20% adoption = 9.6M PLN wasted. Every month without adoption is another quarter without ROI for the board.
Market context

HR Tech companies that don't fix adoption will lose next year's budget.

Adoption is the #1 problem — 70% of HR Tech implementations fail to meet their goals

GDPR complicates every decision — every new feature requires a data protection analysis

HR teams are the hardest user group to onboard — used to Excel, skeptical of change

Companies that fixed adoption did one thing: they stopped building what management wanted and started building what users needed.
Case Studies

12M PLN budget and +3% organic traffic in 6 weeks.

EWL Group — HR platform, 12.1M PLN budget

HR Tech

2 POs, UX team, 6 devs. And recruiters were still entering data into Excel. We started with user discovery.

+3% organic traffic in 6 weeks

Evionica — adoption in a regulated industry

Aviation Tech

Instructors: "The old system works fine." We deployed an LLM tool that SAVED them time.

2x completion rate

Bauwerk — 2,500 partners, 80%+ adoption

Partner Platform

"Partners won't use the new platform." Discovery with partners instead of management assumptions.

80%+ adoption
Your company

"GDPR blocks us at every turn." GDPR isn't a blocker — it's a constraint.

"Our platform is too complex for an outsider to grasp in 2 weeks."

I spent 3 years building HR platforms with a 12M PLN budget. I know what legacy + new platform + ATS integration looks like.

"The problem isn't the product — it's people who don't want to learn."

The problem is a product that doesn't solve THEIR problem. HR teams aren't lazy — they're busy.

"25K for 2 weeks is nothing compared to our 12M platform budget."

Exactly. 25K to find out WHY 80% of that budget isn't working.

In 2 weeks:

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

3 years on HR platforms with ATS, ERP, and legacy integrations.
I don't build features — I diagnose adoption and plan. Discovery doesn't require processing personal data.
I won't convince them. I'll discover WHAT they need and propose product changes accordingly.
Because your POs and UX team build what management wants. I check whether that equals what users actually need.
Not in 2 weeks. But you'll learn WHY it's at 20% and WHAT to change. Without that, you're spending millions in the dark.
Transformation

Before and after the sprint

Area Before After sprint
Adoption 20%, nobody knows why Diagnosis + plan for 80%+
Leadership "Where's the ROI?" Dashboard with adoption KPIs
HR teams "Excel works fine for me" Platform saves THEM time
Roadmap Features from management's head Features from discovery
Integrations "It was supposed to take 2 weeks" Prioritized: which ones are truly needed

Every month at 20% adoption is another month without ROI. The board won't wait forever.
