How teams use Kern

Kern Tech Services

Technology · Berlin · 21 employees

The challenge

Kern Tech was running HR across three spreadsheets, a shared Dropbox, and a group WhatsApp. Payroll took two days a month. Documents were unsigned, misfiled or simply lost.

The solution

They moved to Kern in an afternoon. Industry templates created their 11 departments automatically. The DATEV integration cut payroll from 2 days to 45 minutes.

GrowthCo

SaaS · Munich · 45 employees

The challenge

GrowthCo was losing candidates to slow follow-up. Their recruiting happened across three tools — LinkedIn, a Notion database, and email threads. Candidates fell through the cracks.

The solution

With Kern's ATS, every application lands in one pipeline. The team posts once and reaches LinkedIn, Indeed and their careers page simultaneously. Interview scheduling takes 30 seconds.

NordBank AG

Finance · Hamburg · 50 employees

The challenge

NordBank's compliance team spent 3 hours per week responding to GDPR data requests manually. Audit logs lived in a separate system. Their DPO was spending half a day per audit.

The solution

Kern's GDPR module handles Art. 15, 17 and 20 requests end-to-end. The immutable audit log captures every sensitive field access. Their DPO now reviews in 20 minutes.
