Case Study: Hack Reactor halves operations costs and achieves 98% job placement with Asana

HackReactor teaches the world to code with Asana

Hack Reactor is a career‑focused coding bootcamp teaching thousands of students across six campuses and online. As the company grew past the stage where a small team's “mind‑meld” could handle every detail, CEO Tony Phillips needed a way to standardize processes, preserve meticulous service across locations, and get institutional knowledge out of his head and into a repeatable system.

Hack Reactor rolled out Asana company‑wide, using documentation, templates, and an API‑driven “Show Runner” to auto‑create and assign class tasks; today Asana powers workflows from admissions and facilities to performance reviews. The result: operations costs cut in half, recruiting costs reduced to zero, and class outcomes that include a 97.3% graduation rate and a 98.1% job placement rate.
