Easier employee leave tracking than previous HR systems, nice to have pulse surveys and goal tracking all built into one. Has reduced number of systems we need to use total in the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With performance/targets there's nowhere to have structured questions for employee and line manager to use for KPI discussions which we do quarterly. The comment section is too simple and disorganised, and it doesn't give the structure needed to spark good conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to custom across different locations, customer service is responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had issues with our employees with Bob being an Israeli based company, given the political circumstances we are in, it is not easy to justify it to our employees.

As for the functionalities, talent module was quite limiting us many times especially because our org. structure does not require the manager-employee relationship and as a consultancy company getting customer feedback is crucial which we cannot acquire through the system. In addition, it was not allowing us non-managers to record the feedback without being the peer or manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HiBob has been our HR tool that became our main area for all people related topics. It has been the best tool to have everything in one place. Making it easy for employee usage and company usage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some processes are still quite limited. There's limitations on e-sign templates, or another example could be the limitation on how we send employees certain surveys. Also, the processes to automise are not as clear Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the reporting and dashboard functions are well made. I like the new hire and onboarding flows too. The people updates flows lack a bit of flexibility, for example, I'd like to trigger them for all employees at once rather than relying on the employee Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything I dislike but the Time off module could do with a bit more refining. For example, I'd like to see a bit more tools around sickness absence tracking and absence levels in rolling years Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about HiBob is how it combines compliance and efficiency with culture and engagement. At Pophouse, we used Bob not only for core HR processes like learning and talent management, but also to create a sense of connection across teams. The interface feels modern and intuitive, which makes adoption easy, and I especially value the people-centric features — things like shoutouts, hobbies, and interest groups that help build belonging. From an HR perspective, I also appreciate how configurable it is: I could easily design onboarding workflows, implement a learning policy, and track talent development without heavy IT support. For me, the real strength of HiBob is that it’s more than a system of record — it’s a system that actively supports culture, growth, and employee experience.

One area I’ve found challenging with HiBob is that while it’s highly configurable, sometimes that flexibility means the setup can feel complex without clear guidance. For example, reporting and permissions require careful fine-tuning to avoid errors, and some integrations need additional support to work seamlessly across all regions. I also think the mobile app could be more robust compared to the desktop experience. That said, these are areas that HiBob has been improving, and I’ve generally found their customer support responsive when we’ve faced issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HiBob has really streamlined our HR processes, making day-to-day tasks feel more organized and easier to manage. HiBob also brings us a level of data security that is a huge step up from our previous HR data storage and allows us to have granular control of permissions and access. This means we can really rest assured our data is safe - and is well protected against any potential cyber attack breaches that the company might be targeted by.

The system brings everything we need under one umbrella from PDR reviews, to hiring pipelines, to core time off and HR records self serve. The self serve function alone has saved the company hours of time that used to be spent manually updating staff data on spreadsheets. It is a very intuitive and easy system to use.

There aren’t really any downsides to using Bob. The big benefits far outweigh any small areas where the functionality may still be developing.

If I had to be really picky, the data sheet templates sometimes error when uploading. In some cases this can be down to your data or list fields not matching within Bob, so it can be a user issue. That said, Bob has also acknowledged on webinars that the templates are old and need updating. At times they’ll throw an error because the column title in the template contains “Required,” or the upload will mysteriously add an extra row to the sheet, which then errors and prevents the rest of the data from uploading. Bob has acknowledged that their team needs to revisit and overhaul the data upload templates.

The arrangement of tabs can also feel a bit odd. Sometimes a tab looks like a parent library folder with sub-tabs underneath, which can make it easy to miss the section you’re trying to configure. A good example of this is in the jobs catalogue, where Job profiles looks like it is a header for the sub folders Job levels>Job roles>Job families>Job family groups - but Job profiles is actually a tab in itself which you could easily miss. The same is true in Permission groups where Access data for looks like a heading to the sub folders below - but you actually need to click on this to perform the function of setting whose data the permission group can access.

Also some of the videos could be a bit clearer - particularly the one about calibration in the performance module. It's very difficult to understand how and where the calibration step happens in setting up a cycle - I found myself having to trawl vimeo and youtube to understand it.

I appreciate the ever-growing features of HiBob HRIS and the individual components that allow us to customize the system almost entirely to our needs. HiBob offers us features that we hadn't even considered initially, but which then help us a lot in retrospect. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, and we were able to get started quickly.

I think HiBob could be more user-friendly for manufacturing companies, and I believe the mobile version could be more mature. In particular, filling out surveys or having an overview of absent colleagues could be better supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very intuitive, there are many ways to automate tedious, manual tasks. All reports I use for analysis can be always easily revamped, changed, scheduled etc. In most modules you can find AI Features which genuinely make your life easier, for example by creating summaries of surveys or 1:1s. It integrates with many other platforms or AI, such as Claude. It hardly ever has any performance issues. Support from the team is absolutely amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major, really. Sometimes I just wish the dashboards were a bit more customizable, and that there were clearer explanations for how some percentages are calculated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How intuitive it is for users and how easy it is for admins to set up the system.

The AI helpdesk is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the core model is certainly the best. Payroll is also good.

I don't think the Talent module is a strong as some competitors (Culture Amp, Lattice). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
