We started with Bob for core HR admin a couple of years ago, while using separate tools for performance, development and training. Last year we decided to drop those tools and bring everything into Bob. We now use the full suite, including Bob, Talent and Compensation, and having it all in one place has made life much easier for our HR team and our managers.

The performance module has improved a lot. Review cycles run much more smoothly, and the AI assistant is a great help when writing reviews: instead of starting from scratch, it builds on everything already in Bob, such as 1:1 notes, previous reviews and feedback. The reporting is strong, and the 9-box is easy to set up and genuinely useful at different levels of the organisation. Combined with the job architecture, it gives us a complete picture, and because it’s all connected to the development module, feedback flows naturally into development planning. The AI assistant has also made writing development plans far easier than before.

Compensation and benefits is another highlight. It aligns really well with our open salary policy: employees can see their own salary band and where they sit within it, which has helped build trust and transparency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to define time-bound actions under each development area, so employees can track their progress the same way they can in the "Goal" module.

Not a downside, but I’d love also the option to show employees the salary range of the next level alongside their current one. With our open salary policy, this would help people see what growth looks like in concrete terms, and having it in Bob would be amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
