2021
RemotelyHR, founded in 2021, is a California-based outsourcing firm specializing in comprehensive remote HR support for small to mid-sized businesses. With over 30 years of combined HR experience, the team handles everything from payroll and recruiting to compliance, onboarding, and custom policy development.
When Lina Baron, Recruiter and HR Assistant at RemotelyHR, set out to fill a loan coordinator role—a position new to her team—she anticipated the typical three-week search.
With Kula, the role was filled in just under a week.
“With Kula, I posted the job, and within a week we already had our top two candidates. We hired one of them. I don’t think we would’ve gotten those results with just Indeed or Workable.”
— Lina Baron
RemotelyHR’s previous Applicant Tracking System (ATS), Workable, was user-friendly and met the basic needs of the team initially. As hiring ramped up and more roles needed filling, Lina and the team ran into challenges with:
💡 “We thought Workable was amazing because we had nothing to compare it to. But once we saw Kula, we were like—okay, this is a whole new level.”
Lina was on the hunt to find a better, more cost-effective ATS. She discovered Kula after joining a webinar featuring Lou Adler, a recruitment industry expert, and Kula’s CEO Achu Ravi.
“We were skeptical at first because we’d never heard of Kula. But after our call with Achu—we were sold. Price was the original reason we started looking, but Kula had so many features Workable didn’t.”
— Lina Baron
1. AI Notetaker that automatically captures and summarizes every interview
Before Kula, Lina took notes by hand — a time-consuming and manual process. What stood out about Kula’s AI Notetaker and Interview Intelligence was how it automatically transcribes every conversation and stores the insights directly in the ATS. No more switching tools or digging through notebooks.
2. AI Scoring to filter out low-match applicants, reserving time and effort for qualified candidates
Lina used to spend hours sifting through 100+ applicants, many of whom didn’t meet basic requirements. With Kula’s AI Scoring, low-fit profiles are automatically filtered out — so she can focus her time on candidates who actually match the brief.
3. Automated LinkedIn job postings directly from the ATS
Previously, Lina had limitations when posting jobs to LinkedIn. Now, with Kula’s built-in integration, every job goes live with just a click — right from the ATS.
4. An intuitive, feature-rich ATS
Kula delivered more of what Lina’s team needed — AI features, built-in scheduling, reporting, and a clean interface in one unified platform.
✅ Faster Time-to-Hire
Lina estimates Kula has cut her hiring timelines by about 50% overall—and in some cases, even more.
💡 “Normally it takes us three weeks to fill a role. With Kula, we filled one in under a week. That’s been consistent for hard-to-fill roles too, for example a Class A driver for a construction company.”
“I typed the information I needed into Kula’s AI Notetaker and it pulled the info instantly. I can just copy-paste and send my notes without worrying they’re not detailed enough.”
— Lina Baron
✅ Better Candidate Quality
Instead of wading through 100+ irrelevant applications, Lina now gets fewer but better-matched candidates. “Our CEO Jamie will say, ‘We’re only getting 10 applicants.’ And I tell her—yeah, but they’re really good.”
✅ Objective Notes, Stronger Client Collaboration
The AI Notetaker lets Lina instantly find details from calls and share complete, objective notes with clients.
“A client once asked where a candidate lived. I didn’t remember off the top of my head, but I typed it into Kula’s AI Notetaker and it pulled the info instantly. I can just copy-paste and send my notes without worrying they’re not detailed enough.”
✅ Onboarding: Fast and Supportive
“I’m not super tech-savvy, but Eleni and Erin were amazing. They walked me through everything patiently—even when I didn’t get it at first. Even now, if something comes up, Erin replies within minutes.”
The tools Lina reaches for every day — and why they’ve made such a difference:
💡 AI Notetaker — Eliminated the need for juggling an outside AI notetaker or manual notes.
💡 LinkedIn Integration — Automated postings straight from Kula which help cut down on busywork.
💡 Interview Recordings — Helps Lina review her own delivery and body language to improve future interviews.
For a lean team like RemotelyHR, Kula isn’t just an ATS — it’s a partner that scales with them. With AI built into every step, Lina and team can move faster, work smarter, and stay ahead as hiring needs grow.
“We’re hiring faster, sending better candidates to clients, and saving hours every week. Kula’s made that possible. It’s an ATS that has all the features you need—and it’s worth every penny.”
