Case Study: Boom Supersonic builds scalable HR infrastructure with Lingo Live

Boom Supersonic prepares for 37% headcount growth with Lingo Live

Boom Supersonic, a company developing the world's fastest airliner, anticipated a period of significant hypergrowth but was in a temporary calm phase with a headcount of around 200. Their challenge was to use this time to proactively build a robust HR infrastructure from the ground up, focusing on foundational elements like performance management, feedback frameworks, and compensation strategy before the impending hiring surge. They partnered with Lingo Live for insights on navigating this phase, as featured on their Groundwork podcast.

Lingo Live provided a platform for Boom Supersonic's Chief People Officer, Barb Bidan, to share strategic advice on preparing for scale. The discussed solution involved implementing key HR programs and choosing best-in-class endpoint tools for each function rather than a single, integrated system. This approach, guided by Lingo Live's expertise, allowed Boom to lay a critical foundation for equitable compensation and strong communication practices, ensuring they were well-prepared to manage their future growth effectively.
