HR teams often dedicate over 60% of their time to administrative tasks, hindered by fragmented data and limited resources. Orbio’s platform leverages AI voice agents to automate repetitive tasks, streamline processes, and transform untapped data into actionable insights. “HR teams are at a critical inflection point — under pressure to do more with less while being expected to lead with impact,” says Sergi Bastardas, CEO and co-founder of Orbio. “Having worked with large enterprises and digital platforms, we’ve seen how overwhelmed HR teams are in delivering real impact. We built Orbio to change that — providing AI agents that capture lost data, automate tasks, and create new ways to connect across organizations.”
Orbio’s AI agents, available 24/7, support the entire employee journey, from talent acquisition to ongoing engagement. With natural voice interactions, the platform generates real-time intelligence, enabling recruiters to identify successful candidate profiles and traits linked to lower turnover while minimizing bias. The agents are designed to meet stringent data security and AI regulatory standards, ensuring trust and compliance.
Founded by industry veterans, Orbio combines expertise from successful startups. Sergi Bastardas (CEO, ex-Colvin), Nacho Travesí (CRO, ex-Cobee, acquired by Pluxee Group), and Antonio Melé (CTO, ex-Nucoro, acquired by Backbase) bring proven experience in scaling technology solutions. Their vision is to redefine HR by integrating automation and advanced analytics, with plans to expand coverage across all HR functions.
Orbio’s platform enables HR leaders to shift focus from administrative burdens to strategic priorities. By providing continuous availability and data-driven insights, it supports faster hiring, reduced attrition, and improved productivity. “Orbio opens new possibilities and redefines the role of a department that has faced significant constraints until now, with more data, more resources, and more impact,” explains Bastardas. The startup positions itself as a transformative force in the $360 billion HR technology market, projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% through 2030.
