HiBob Reviews - Pricing, Pros/Cons, User Reviews

HiBob

Overview

Bob is a great solution for companies that want performance, engagement and culture to be at the center of their organization. While many vendors add those tools later in their lifecycle, those features were foundational to Bob from the get-go. The emphasis on employee engagement leads to high usage from employees and better reporting for companies. Additionally, Bob is a global company and their solution is a strong fit for multi-national companies.

Market Segment

HiBob is considered an SMB HRIS, which means the system works best for companies with between 50 and 350 employees. SMB solutions are designed to cover some, but not all HR needs with some gaps to be filled in by 3rd party solutions. SMB solutions are typically more user-friendly and more modernly designed than other vendors. Additionally, they are typically built with integrations in mind and have open APIs. A solution like HiBob usually takes 6-8 weeks to implement and requires a bit of configuration work from the administrator. SMB solutions tend to have limited rules engines and custom workflow tools, which can limit how scalable they can be.

Integration Capabilities

Due to gaps in their own system, Bob has always prioritized integrations with 3rd party systems, including leading ATS's and Payroll systems. Bob has some marketplace integrations with  leading HR point solutions. However, custom integrations are not always the easiest to build

Global Capabilities
