Case Study: Great Yellow scales hiring and HR with Homerun ATS & HR

Great Yellow scales to 26 people with Homerun

Great Yellow, a company focused on making nature restoration projects investable, faced challenges with its hiring and HR processes as it rapidly grew from a startup to over 30 people. Their initial system of tracking candidates and time off using Notion and Slack became overwhelmed and lacked structure, creating chaos and inefficiency. This led them to seek a more structured solution from the vendor Homerun, specifically their ATS and HR products.

By implementing Homerun, Great Yellow standardized their hiring process with scorecards and a central hub for talent, making collaboration and decision-making much easier. The HR features automated time-off tracking, syncing with Google Calendar, and managing important dates, which solved a significant compliance and administrative problem. The solution brought clarity and structure, allowing the team to focus on intentional, culture-first growth. Homerun became the essential system that scaled alongside the company, enabling them to hire thoughtfully and preserve their core "muddy boots" values.
