Case Study: Statista achieves streamlined, scalable recruiting and centralized HR management with Personio

The secret formula to systematic growth

Statista, the Hamburg‑based market intelligence company with over 600 employees across nine locations, faced growing pains as headcount exploded from about 190 in 2016 to more than three times that in 3.5 years. Recruiting was tracked in Excel and applicants handled in Outlook, creating negative feedback from candidates and department heads; to centralize HR processes and get strong customer support, Statista selected Personio’s HR/recruiting platform.

Personio implemented a centralized, flexible solution to manage applications, store documents, track candidate stages, request manager feedback and set granular access rights. The platform’s intuitive handling meant only a brief introduction was needed, department heads can manage applicants themselves, and HR now smoothly supports roughly 25–30 new hires per month — delivering a structured application process, reduced administrative burden and responsive Personio support.
