(1-25 of 58)An amazing and extremely adaptable platform
- Interface
- Customer service
- Adaptability
- Payroll functionality
- Talent functionality
- Survey
Different take
- Acts as a confidential Data Store
- Reporting - its dreadful
- Security - Seems to be all or nothing
- Look and Feel - not great
- Questionnaires - limited
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
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.
Checks all the boxes!
- Provides usable data via feedback surveys for managers and operations team to take quick action on.
- It helps us identify our Talent Groups and connect data to their satisfaction to prevent turnover.
- Simplifies and syncs every day HR tasks, saving loads of time and effort.
- I'd love a world where I could create dashboards based on my Talent Groups that connects to all of our feedback surveys. This would help us identify more quickly and with less manual work any indicators of burnout or turnover among our key players.
- Have the option for non-anonymous Company Surveys.
- Chat hours for the service team to eliminate long email threads and get to quicker solves.
Hibob - The Future at the palm of your hands.
- Employee Information and Updates
- Booking Time Off is super easy!
- Org chart is really easy to use and view
- Roles and permissions are easy to delegate
- Set up is really easy
- Integrations between systems are easy to set up
- Account Managers have been easily accessible and super helpful!
- Expense Management
- Overtime cannot be logged to be paid, only as TOIL
Overall positive, enjoyable experience with Hibob
- Employee data - stores all employee data, can create custom fields,
- Manage time off - able to have a different reporting line to approve time off,
- Automate tasks - able to automate a lot of tasks / emails / calendar events
- Time off calendar - would be better with a yearly view (similar to Timetastic)
- Reporting - is a bit clunky, cannot edit reports when you have created them which is very time consuming as a whole new report with fields needs to be created.
- 1-1s - only managers can request a 1-1, employees are unable to create these with their manager. I'm told this is in development.
Hibob Review
- Analytics and reports
- Talent - processes and surveys
- Base to good communication and internal orientation
- USER FRIENDLY 100%
- chat - personal and divided by "site/department"
- Support Video
- Better way to track goals/tasks - easier and not complex
- new way to intergrate bob to email/chat/slack - the emails are not welcoming
HiBob Fan
- 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.
Hibob is great!
- Track Annual Leave allowance and request
- Interactive for the whole company - give thanks, shout outs and company updates
- Keeps track of everything for employee's (entire lifecycle)
- Creating task lists and flows is a huge help and takes away manual tasks
- Could have a requests section. Currently you need to enter a field on the employee's profile and then they request from there but would be ideal to just have an overall self service request like system
- Pictures in email flows or headers/borders to personalize more!
- If you could notify employees of changes on their profile through a task list email
Hibob: A people coordinator's best friend!
- Downloading reports to analyse employee data.
- Carrying out bi annual performance reviews.
- Automating admin to do with onboarding and offboarding.
- In career progression mapping, the goals and really customisable to the business needs.
- In the engagement surveys it would be good if you could customise the data we use.

Hibob Review

- Enabling easily downloadable organisational structures
Hibob is an Engaging Platform for High-Growth Mindset Companies!
- Performance management cycles and the customization capabilities of performance management.
- Time-off management can be very customized to your organization. For example, we offer a flexible time-off policy and we were able to customize this fairly easily in Hibob and can still track the data we need.
- Hibob's survey tool is really awesome and provides a lot of quality templates you can use or build on.
- The reporting tool could be easier, and it needs some more standardized reports such as headcount, anniversary data, and the ability to pull quarterly reports easier.
- Onboarding of smaller customers (less than 100 employees) needs an option for integration support other than a help ticket. A dedicated account manager or option for paid help for smaller organizations would have been very helpful and saved a lot of time importing data.
- Permissions settings could be different at the Admin level. Some admins that are not in the HR space may not need to have access to all performance data or may not need access to specific compensation data. Allowing HR Admin permissions to be different than regular admin would allow greater flexibility for various levels of data privacy.
The most user-friendly HRIS I have used so far
- Flexible to set up your own customized HR information system
- Personnel administration
- Workforce planning
HiBob - A tool to make HR easy
- Time Off Management
- E-Sign and document management
- Properly store personal information
- Communication across the whole company or some specific departments
- E-sign documents not based on PDF but on a text editor (to modify documents more easily)
- Select only mornings or afternoons on several days for time off (currently need to send multiple individual requests)
- Clock-in time with both online and physical means (like an IC card) so that we can know if a person is working remotely or came to the office.
User Friendly HRIS for Both the Experienced and First-Time Admin
- 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.)
Good
- Onboarding
- Survey
- Compensation
- Create projects
- More access to people who are co-leading some employees, we can't have co-reviewers for the evaluation for example.
I only ever want to use Hibob as my HRIS going forward!
- 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 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.

- The task list - although it may be that we aren't using it effectively
Great product & fab Customer Service
- Onboarding flows
- Task Lists

- I think there could be better scope with the Slack integrations, for example with the Talent Function, could it trigger a message via slack so people are notified to complete feedback, rather than doing this via email.
- The login for Hibob is quite slow
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.
