Hibob is our HRIS. Whether that’s our people themselves (being able to see all of their employment information in one place, being able to book a holiday and see when others have time off), our managers (getting a full view of their team’s details - salaries, job titles, locations in one place and seeing time off in full view in order to capacity plan accurately) or our People, Culture and Inclusion team (reporting, right to work checks, onboarding new folks, onboarding ourselves onto new systems and employment changes) - all of these things get simpler with Bob.

We make a great use of the automation of tasks that Bob allows to build, from new joiners to leavers, from probation and onboarding to parental leave, we have created flows that automatically assign tasks to the relevant people, to make sure nothing is missed on important lifecycle phases of employees.
  • Managing time off
  • Automating tasks
  • Build reports
  • Hard-coded lifecycle statuses of employees that prevent them from performing certain actions
  • Flexibility to adapt to company policies
  • Can't assign tasks to other people if those who are usually in charge of that task are on holiday
Bob is well suited to house documents, build organisational charts, request and authorise time off or sick leave, as well as displaying teams, their time off and their current status (on holiday, on parental leave, active, etc). Bob is also well suited to automate tasks, for example if there is a new starter, it's easy to tell everyone involved what they should do automatically - that's a big weight off the People Team's shoulders.

Unfortunately, not everything is possible with Bob. For example, the creation of templates for documents is not ideal, with lots of formatting oddities and building different version of the same documents being generally difficult. Furthermore, the signature function is not legally binding, so can't be use (for example) to send employment contracts for signature.

Hibob is our HRIS. We currently use it for onboarding, talent management, reporting, shoutouts, kudos, performance and compensation. The UX is good for both the employees and the administrators. HR reporting is straightforward and simple and we have the flexility to get very granular with reports. We are piloting the compensation module to see how effective and time-saving it will be as we currently have no compensation specialist on our team. We are utilizing the performance/talent management and so far, it's been good. It's simple to use and the fact that we can do so many things with one HRIS makes our lives much easier.
  • Their customer support is excellent. We have a dedicated support person who is there to answer our questions and walk us through any new situation where we need help
  • The user experience is great. It's easy for our employees to navigate and, more importantly, is simple for our administrators to use.
  • Reports are simple to run and we can use either the more standard reports that are already provided, or design our own based on individual reporting requirements
  • I'd like to be able to have flexibility in org charts so that there are options for matrix, flat. I'd also like a printable version of the org chart AND one where names were hidden so it could be shared with individuals outside the organization.
  • In the Performance Reviews I would love to see a 9-box option including corresponding questions so we could plot individuals in the 9-box matrix.
  • It would be ideal if, before a performance review period, managers were given the opportunity to choose 3-4 people they would want to include in a Peer Review of their employees AND where the system would flag if one person was being asked to do more than 2 Peer Reviews.
I would recommend HiBob for a small to mid-size organization that will/could be growing over the next few years. It's an ideal platform for any business who is looking for a first-time HRIS as this could be the only one they'll ever need. If an organization is already using a system, HiBob likely would fill all of their needs but implementation may be tougher when moving systems. In the end, it's worth it but it takes time, effort and patience.

The company has been using HiBob as our main HRIS for 1 year, and I have been using it for 5 months since I joined. We use HiBob as our main "source of truth" regarding emails, reminding users about compliance through flows, onboarding/offboarding, saving important documents, booking time-off, and much, much more.
  • Clean, user friendly interface
  • Organization
  • Task-lists and flows
  • Onboarding/Offboarding
  • Shoutouts
  • Being able to use 2 time-off policies at once (one of our time-off policies is using remote work, where people can both work remotely and use a sick day/holiday, so I have to manually adjust every time).
  • More customizable, visually appealing background (ours cuts off half way).
  • Allow for time-off to be set as a rolling 365 day period (Resets balance continuously as employees reach the anniversary of the first day they booked off, unrelated to their start date or Jan-Dec yearly calendar).
  • Upload proof of work doc right in onboarding
  • Assign Benefits based on location and whether the new hire is part time or full time
  • Allow for autofill for "who to contact" during onboarding, as many names do not change person-to-person (for example, the admin, HR generalist, IT, etc.)
HiBob is well suited for a company of any size, if you plan to use it to your advantage. Being able to run reports, view important information, save important documents, etc. is infinitely useful for any company. It is less appropriate to use HiBob if you simply want a place for your staff to gather online rather than focus on documentation, as there is no messaging feature or the like. If you're tired of a complicated filing program, or hate a stack of files/papers, or simply want a clean way to view your employee's data, Bob is the way to go.

We use Hibob as our HRIS. Before Hibob, we were managing our employee data with spreadsheets. Hibob helps us automate processes like onboarding, offboarding, and job changes. It keeps a record of our employee's current and historical data. We have started to use feedback surveys and performance reviews as well. We also use it to track time off throughout the whole company. It's great for reporting on our employee data as well.
  • It is extremely flexible and can be modified to fit most of our processes.
  • It's an easy UI to use and looks very nice as well.
  • I like that there is options like Superpowers and Hobbies to get to know our employees more than just their work details.
  • Onboarding could be done better. For instance, we can't choose to send to a personal email directly which is really crucial when working with new hires. Hibob only sends to personal email if the person is not active; but if they have issues logging into their email on their first day, they are missing Hibob emails too because we can't direct them to their personal email. Also, we don't see a receipt of who's received emails so we have no idea of knowing if the new hire received it...we just have to hope that it's happened.
  • It's great having the Greenhouse integration but it is very limited. For instance, when Greenhouse sends over a new hire, we only have the email to go off of to hire them. It would be great to have a section to look them up (like a status of "To Be Hired") to make sure we aren't missing anyone.
  • The e-sign feature could use some upgrade. For instance, there's no way to format the data. When we want to include a date, it gives only a basic format of MM/DD/YYYY when sometimes I would prefer it to be long form like Month DD, YYYY. As a user of DocuSign, it would be great to see similar functionality to making documents that need a signature more "pretty".
  • The difference between the categories and tables is confusing and annoying at times. For instance, I'm not able to pull fields on the data in the tables into a report through the Directory. I don't understand why that feature isn't available and it can be annoying when wanting to pull in equity. I have to go to the reporting section and go through a whole different process.
I have loved when different teams come to People Ops asking if Hibob can do something or if something can be added to it. Often, our answer is "yes"! We love how flexible Hibob is and now that we understand the logic of the system, we are confident in adding different flows and tasks to suit our needs. As a rapidly growing and changing company, it is necessary that we are able to make our own changes without needing to consult a Hibob team member. Of course, it is also very nice having our own Account Manager who can help us understand features better...but it's great that we don't HAVE to go to them every time we need to change something. For a team of just under 1,000, we have been able to successfully run Hibob with just a two person team.

I do wish their Onboarding features were better as we could use all the help we can get there. I'd like to not have to use another system and it makes sense for an HRIS to have a robust Onboarding tool. I feel like Onboarding was just created as another flow/function in Hibob and hasn't been thought through completely. There are many opportunities to improve like being able to send to the personal email of an employee; sending login information directly through Hibob; and tracking new hires as they flow through Greenhouse.

We use Hibob to book and manage time-off, track work from home days, store employee personal details, action payroll changes, goal set, report on monthly changes., We have flows set up for onboarding, offboarding, and employee updates eg promotion, probation. It is very useful in automatically sending out emails etc so we don't forget to do them. Also in reporting so we can easily track work changes like joiners, leavers, promotions, pay rises etc. We are looking into using the goal-setting side of Hibob more effectively across the teams - to help us achieve our targets and to help to embed our training program which we have recently rolled out.
  • reporting
  • goal setting
  • user friendly
  • The task list - although it may be that we aren't using it effectively
We have been using Hibob for years and are very happy with it. Only area of improvement could be around editing flows which don't seem to be particularly intuitive.

We use Hibob as our main HR system. We log all of the employees on there, adjusting for joiners and leavers, which plays a key part in our process of running the payroll as Hibob clearly shows all of the necessary information. Hibob has addressed our problem of easy personnel management, it is so easy to use to track so many aspects of each employee (e.g. their bank details in order to make sure their salary gets paid to the correct bank account).
  • It clearly shows the amount of used and accrued annual leave that someone has remaining, which is incredibly useful for when employees leave and we have to pay them their outstanding annual leave.
  • Requesting time off is so easy, it's a really simplified experience both for the employee and the approver.
  • I like the notifications it gives you when someone edits their profile, we use this to track people's payrises and information changes which is crucial to our payroll process.
  • I've found that the docs section is sometimes difficult to navigate through, although this is probably a user error!
  • The organisation chart is a bit funny when you include staff that have left within the filter, it's not as smooth as when you run it for just current employees
As mentioned earier, Hibob is well suited for companies that have quite a manual payroll process like we do. We get all of the info from Hibob to use as a basis of paying our employees, such as bank details for each employee and their salaries, which Hibob presents in a clear and concise way that causes no confusion

Hibob is our HRIS tool which we use for storing employee data, employee documents, booking and tracking leave, performance and probation reviews, and compensation reviews. As an HR administrator, I use Hibob mainly for the reporting function. The reports are completely customisable and the scheduling feature allows me to distribute many reports on a weekly or monthly basis across the company. We also view KPIs in an easy-to-understand way that helps our managers, HR, and Finance team make important decisions.
  • Reporting
  • Talent
  • Compensation Review
  • Designated probation review functionality
  • Integration with ChartHop (organisation chart)
  • Allow smaller audience groups for shoutouts and kudos
Hibob is well suited for customisability and flexibility. We were able to adapt the system to how we work as an HR team and as a company. We can add an unlimited amount of custom fields into employee profiles that allow us to integrate with other systems effectively and to run the best reports for us. The option to filter and add certain fields for only certain sites or departments has been extremely useful.

Tracking annual leave, performance monitoring, company surveys and HR files.
  • Allows us to perform 360 reviews with very simple workflows and automation.
  • Allows us to keep employee data in a secure way and for easy access to those with the correct permissions.
  • Allows self service of requesting holiday saving a lot of time with email requests and allows employees to track balances without having to ask HR.
  • Tracking of 1 on 1's with employee would help, currently it only allows managers to do this with direct reports and not the flexibility to hold 1 on 1's with other peers or non direct reports.
  • We'd love Hibob to build out the culture element. This wold include use it as a hub for social events and having a more 'corporate social' element in the way that Facebook Workplace offers this. Having more of an ability to share successes and wins would be great.
  • To have a section that allows the company to promote its CSR activity to the team.
  • We'd love Hibob to assist with recruitment better. A place to keep a CV library of previously reviewed candidates with a retention policy in place for GDPR. To build a workflow for the recruitment process to track people from selection to first interview, second interview etc. To be able to collage housekeeping notes such as salary expectations, notice period in other roles etc. The ability to make interview notes and candidate scoring on the Hibob platform with the relevant people.
Hibob is very good at keeping HR all in one place. Removes the need for lot of group storage and spreadsheets, gives power to employees and creates efficiencies for the leadership team.

We use Hibob has our Global HR system to hold all of our employee data.
  • User functionality, it is simple for employees to navigate on their own
  • Setting up repeat reports for finance/operations and BI teams make it less manual
  • KPI dashboard and the ability to build your own
  • Probation review cycles there is no way to schedule it to run automatically
  • Org structure design, being able to completely build your org structure instead of using PowerPoint
  • It is good for any size of company, from 10-1000+, we have grown with it and rarely gotten any complaints.
  • It is easy to pull data from.
  • You can cater it to your own needs.
  • It is startup so it lacks some of the more sophisticated functionality like org design.

We use Hibob as our global HRIS. We needed a global HRIS solution for T&A, along with goal and performance management, and Hibob does a great job filling that need.
  • Employee Engagement.
  • T&A.
  • Goal and performance management.
  • Onboarding.
  • Personalization.
  • Customization.
HiBob is well suited for seeing when team members throughout the globe need have requested time off. It does not run any sort of payroll or offer any health benefits.
