I seem to have a different experience to most other reviewers. For my Hibob is a secure database with a poor front end and an API attached.

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.

The system is very well suited for the stage we are at as a company. We did a lot via Excel and old processes, but once we hit the 100-person mark, our work would have been challenging to execute without Hibob. We eliminated 3 systems by consolidating to the one Hibob system - it was almost a cost-neutral swap for us.

Hibob is perfect for keeping all employee information together and using it as a fun tool to get to know each other. Having the option to shout out, give kudos or post information for everyone is really useful and has been really good for the business and well received by everyone. Org chart is super easy to use and navigate the Integrations between our payment system and LMS has been really useful. Overtime cannot be logged in a 'clock in' 'clock out' way, and can only be logged through the system as TOIL. We have instead had to create a work around for this. This is now working and people are using it. But this seems like something this system should have. Expenses are a long arduous process at the moment which is a real shame, as we're now having to spend money externally to include expenses.

Hibob is great - very user friendly, modern look, interfaces with several recruitment and payroll systems. There's also a help centre which is very helpful to raise tickets for support on various things. There are some restrictions with the system that cause difficulties as mentioned such as being unable to set up recurring 1-1s through Hibob, or for employees to request a 1-1 with their manager.

Every time we would have board meeting and we need to prepare with TONS of data, Hibob is always the easiest way to get all the info in one click. this is critic to hr piguers - been working with others attendance tools and as HR figure (and also heard from my finance collogues) that Hibob dose good job. see track change attendance, policies etc. - me personally think that all the annual processes in company need to change completely, i don't think surveys are the answer anymore. I know so many companies are looking for an alternative but we choose to send surveys as it is the easiest and we dont have anything else. maybe focus on that side and bring the answer there. - tracking tasks, goalg, shared mission in between departments- i wouldn't use Hibob- its way too complex, in my opinion

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.

Hibob is great as an employee engagement tool, I think especially for new starters it's the first interaction they get when on-boarding and it really sets the tone. With scheduling task lists, entering links and linking relevant documents, it makes the whole process a lot smoother. I really enjoy that whilst on-boarding, employees can view their department and get familiar with faces prior to their first day. Hibob is just an overall enjoyable and likable platform and it gives that feel right from the beginning. I think for us Admins, it would be better to have a few more forms on there that we can store and access when needed instead of needing to use a ticketing system.

Hibob is well suited for onboarding as you can create a workflow which has all the actions you need and it can be automated. So when we add a new employee it sends welcome emails to them that can feel really personal. It also automated document, so we can send their contract easily and they can sign online all within the automated flow.

Hibob is a great step up from more basic HRIS systems and is a great platform for companies that are growing and want to adapt to a more engaging and people-friendly HRIS system. I believe high-growth organizations transitioning of over 50 employees would benefit greatly from the variety of tools Hibob provides. Tracking performance data is big differentiation in this platform from others I've researched or used. The customizations are also vast, and the integration with google and Slack has been great for our organization. Hibob is a socially oriented platform that is engaging and "fun." I'm not sure this tool would be the right HRIS choice for all industries. For example, I don't think a manufacturing or utility company would appreciate the creativity or engagement-friendly features of this tool nearly as much as a tech company or creative agency. I am sure there are exceptions to this note, as some leadership teams would appreciate the features regardless of industry, but I think it was worth noting.

HiBob is mainly an HR tool and does a great job with HR tasks, such as file management, information management, time off, salaries, etc. HR also has some features more akin to task management. Those features are convenient for getting a global view; this is useful for managers and upper management but not enough for day-to-day operations.

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.

Suits very well for the onboarding, we build our onboarding process via Hibob. As an HR we love it but employees love it too, the employee experience is great. Suits very well for the survey, we have an Officevibe, but we use also Hibob for some surveys and we love it, we love the option to nudge people, and to notify them.

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.

Hibob has been fantastic for our business of 80-100 people. I would definitely recommend it to small businesses that are looking to take the next step with an HRIS. It's been fantastic in automating many outdated people processes, such as reviews/goal setting and has been great for employee engagement. The homepage, time off, benefits are all well suited to our business. Areas that are not well suited - esign, analytics & hiring/talent

Hibob is really easy to implement across the business and very easy to get users engaged. The system is really easy to navigate and there are some useful integrations.

The support team are always fast to respond to my questions and to tell me about new features, or what they are developing in the near future. I've found some of the blogs really helpful.

Overall very happy with the toolkit provided by Hibob. Apart from the normal administration, leave and reporting functions, we use Kudos for recognition and are in the process of implementing My Voice as part of our Whistleblowing policy and procedures. Hibob has been great at simplifying management of global teams and removing the need for multiple HR systems. A couple of things that could be better are annual leave reporting and the ability to add "dotted line" reporting in the organisation chart, however overall it's an easy system to use and has made a significant improvement to team leaders with a multi-located team.
