Save time on core HR processes and focus on the big picture
Bob streamlines core HR by automating and simplifying processes, including onboarding for any site or position, easy to set up task lists, and automated approval cycles. Time and absence management are easily tracked via desktop and mobile or on Microsoft Teams and Slack. Surveys let HR closely monitor employee sentiment changes while HR KPIs and talent analytics deliver reports with metrics that let you continuously improve HR performance and enhance the employee experience.

Support scaling
Bob’s flexible, global-at-the-core, and specialized capabilities such as support for non-hierarchical organizational structures make it easy to scale from a 50 ee company to a 2,500 ee company. Configurable processes for each site, including time-off policies and workflows enable growth and scaling.

Leverage powerful analytics
Using Bob, your team can produce reports and proactive insights on vital HR KPIs. Data is collected daily from employee and manager engagement with the platform. Data insights from the platform assist HR leaders in forming strategic programs and bringing valuable information to the executive table.

Retain talent
Your people will want to use Bob. Bob offers a distinct user-friendly experience that brings people together to create meaningful professional and social relationships, whether they work on-site or remotely. Employee records act as social media-style profiles and company news is shared on the homepage feed. Employees and managers can acknowledge achievements using the Kudos and Shoutouts features. Using Bob motivates employees and keeps them feeling good about their company and their contributions.

Create a remarkable employee experience
Bob enhances your company culture by creating transparency in the organization’s structure with the Org Chart functionality. It also provides the ability to click and see each employee's journey (or timeline) so new employees, as well as veterans, can quickly see important details about their co-workers.

Pros
Bob makes me help to solve queries in seconds and the responding team is amazing they have solutions for almost everything that the HR department can do and solve for you.
This software is efficient, effective and an all round great tool to have on board your team. Would recommend to all clients.
It's beautiful - our employees love it too. The support team is amazing - they not only resolve any issues quickly, but they also listen to suggestions and implement them within reasonable time.
Cons
We had slight trouble in the beginning with the calendar view and it not working in the way we have previously been used too.
The company doc storage component has a poor user interface/design but we don't use that much.
To me a bit of time to navigate to the right interface. After a couple of uses it no longer is an issue.

A great up and coming app

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

LOVE! It is a main staple on most tools to be integrated with, slack is easy but also other payroll, engagement and HR/Tech tools integrate seamlessly. Love the UX, simple, colourful and engaging. Customer service is great too! Keep doing what you're doing, bob :)

Cons

The pricing model for new features could be a bit more adaptable. We wanted to add timesheets just to a set number of employees but they wanted to charge us for the whole company!

The best HRIS on the market

Reviewed 4 months ago
Pros

I've used several HRIS in my profession, but so far nothing compares to Hibob. It takes some time to set up and could be complicated as an admin, but it's extremely well designed and easy to use for the end user (employees). And the customer support is very good and responsive.

Cons

I am missing a couple of features:- Being able to schedule recurring 121:s (and integration with e.g., zoom )- The employee being able to schedule 121:s with their manager.-The ability to manually add tasks (in case of a tailored on/offboarding for one specific role)

Not worth the pricetag

Reviewed 5 months ago

Disappointing. For the price you pay, it's simply not worth it.

Pros

It was easy on the eyes from a user perspective for employees

Cons

The 1on1s weren't recurring for managersThe demo showed us all the bells and whistles but they all came either added costsForms didn't flow properlyThe setup of this was a nightmare especially syncing it to payroll and creating the pay and leave rulesRestrictions around which users or administrators can have access to things in particularMany steps to do something simpleNo on demand support even during implementation it was all self serviceIssues with leave submitted syncingSurveys are incredibly basic, questions are double barrelled, non actionable and aren't backed by research or science

An honest review of HiBob

Reviewed 3 months ago

A real challenger to the old-school main systems around. HiBob along with others really manage to bring a breath of fresh air in HR management and HRIS tools in general. I could not recommend it more.Its system as a SaaS is extremely convenient and can tailor it to any potential use, whether limited in combination with other systems or as your full HR system.

Pros

Every feature of HiBob has a meaningful impact, as long as it is properly set and used. The support team is fantastic and solves issues extremely quickly.We have HiBob for our organisation since last year, but I don't see how we could have done it with any other system. The most impactful to me is clearly the employee database management, and its general ease of use.

Cons

There are some automation features that are lacking, for instance the time and attendance module not being automatically linked to overtime policies. But I have no doubt that this will be implemented soon.The price can also be a deterrent, but it does fit with our purpose and need.
