HRobots | FastOnboarding

About the Startup

HRobots (earlier operating as Shared Masters) is a Polish HR-tech startup focused on building modern digital tools for employee onboarding, workforce management, and productivity tracking. Its flagship product, FastOnboarding, was designed as a lightweight SaaS platform to help organizations streamline the onboarding process for new employees—reducing administrative overhead, accelerating time-to-productivity, and improving the employee experience.

Over time, the company expanded its portfolio with additional applications and modules, including a Timesheet/Clock-IT solution for workforce time tracking and productivity monitoring. The startup experimented with various iterations of the platform, gradually modernizing its architecture to support scalability and broader adoption.

Involvement

I was engaged in HRobots from its earliest stage, initially advising the founder on technology strategy and product architecture. At that time, the company operated under the name Shared Masters.

My key contributions included

Technology Stack & Architecture Advisory – Defining the initial product architecture and selecting the appropriate technology stack to ensure scalability and long-term viability.
Authoring the MVP & Pilot Product – Personally designing and building the first working version of the FastOnboarding application, which served as the foundation for the startup’s product journey.
Iterative Development & Subprojects – Leading and contributing to further iterations, including the Clock-IT timesheet product and additional HR process automation features.
Scalability & Performance Improvements – Conducting technical audits and resolving architectural bottlenecks as the platform grew.
Strategic Technology Guidance – Supporting decisions on modernization, cloud adoption, and long-term technical strategy.

This role was much more fundamental and hands-on compared to my involvement in later startups: I was not only the architecture advisor but also the initial builder of the MVP and an ongoing contributor to the platform’s technical evolution.

WeImpact (Stenograf Project, Poland/EU)

Strategic Technology Advisor & Solution Architecture Consultant

Engagement: SaaS Transcription & Voice AI Platform

Served as external advisor to the founders of Stenograf, an EU-funded R&D project (~PLN 1.1M funding under Operational Program Intelligent Development).
Provided architectural reviews and consultations on scalability, performance, resiliency, and security of the platform.
Guided technology stack validation (Angular front-end, Firebase/AWS cloud services) and best practices for SaaS design.
Helped shape the product’s robustness for diverse user segments: researchers, journalists, educators, and enterprises.
Ensured the platform’s design aligned with industry standards for multi-format export (subtitles, captions, transcripts) and collaboration features.

Stenograf - Strategic Technology Advisor & Solution Architecture Consultant

As an external technology advisor to WeImpact’s Stenograf project, I provided architectural reviews and consultations focused on ensuring the platform’s scalability, performance, resiliency, and security. My role involved assessing the chosen technology stack—primarily built around Angular and Google front-end frameworks, supported by cloud services such as Firebase and AWS—and advising on best practices for designing a transcription SaaS that could reliably serve diverse users at scale. I contributed both in short, targeted sessions and longer consultations, bringing my experience as an IT architect and solution architect to help the team validate critical design decisions and strengthen the robustness of their overall solution.

WeImpact.AI - Company & Project Overview

A Polish AI startup with the motto “WE humans impact AI,” focused on accelerating the adoption of human‑centered voice AI solutions. Headquartered in Olsztyn and Warsaw, Poland. The company is involved in other AI-related offerings as well, such as DataLabeling.EU for data annotation and remote teams for scaling AI operations.

The “Stenograf” Project

Stenograf is an R&D project co‑financed by the European Union under the Operational Program Intelligent Development 2014–2020. It received ~PLN 1,120,000, of which ~PLN 896,000 came from European funds.

Launched around 2019, the project produced a SaaS tool offering:

- Automatic speech-to-text transcriptions
- Subtitling (including time‑synchronized captions)
- Manual transcription and correction options for higher accuracy

The main user segments include researchers, transcribers, marketers, journalists, as well as educational and public institutions.
The tool offered both fully automated and human‑assisted transcriptions, delivered as downloadable files in formats such as .srt, .vtt, .doc, .txt, .pdf, and even hard‑subbed video exports.
Designed for simplicity: users upload or link a file, choose the language, and the system processes it—typically in about ¼ the length of the content—then allows editing before exporting.
Pricing: tiered subscription plans (“mini”, “team”, “business”) with pay‑as‑you‑go options priced around 30 PLN net (~36.90 PLN gross) per hour of transcription. Additional credits/hours were available, with time-limited validity.
Additional features: collaborative editing panels, manual correction services, transparency on data privacy (Stripe for payments), and multi-format export.
