Reviews
(1-3 of 3)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.

- 50% time saved from the People Team (it could have been a lot higher, but it takes a lot of time to understand how HiBob works and the workarounds that one needs to build where the functionality needed is not present)
- 100% increase in automation of tasks
Pros:
- great user and admin experience
- DEIB focus with pronouns and demographic fields
- letter and signature capabilities
- mass loading
- super quick implementation
- Dashboards are accessible to admins and managers only (managers only if you make it so)
- Signature feature isn’t legally binding (same for all e-sign HRIS capabilities)
- open API to get Hello Sign integrated is time consuming
- time off delegation a little complicated
Humaans
Pro:
- Super quick implementation
- Simple for both users and admins
- Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging is clearly a priority
- The dashboards are super comprehensive and reporting looked easy and accessible for people of all levels
- No predictive analysis as a part of the platform offering now
- Can’t mass load data yet
- No Hello Sign integration
Personio
Pro:
- Has an app
Can mass load data - Letter build and signature features
Can add different user groups and customise these, time off, employee fields and such
Con:
- No dashboard feature
Long implementation
Manual for admins
No pronouns and demographic data fields weren’t automatically added in as standard fields - No predictive analysis
- Catered a little more to mid-large companies
Being a little tech-savvy also helps, especially to build the architecture of the automations.
- New joiners
- Probation
- Parental leave
- Offboarding
- Automating tasks for parental leave
- Promotions and salary changes - all automated
- New starters immediately know what to do during their onboarding
- Overtime tracking
- Enhanced parental leave payments tracking
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Implemented in-house
- Mass data import wasn't explained particularly well
The support team is quite quick to reply, but not everyone is helpful unfortunately, and in many cases a lot of emails, messages and back and forth were needed to get to the bottom of an issue. When I pointed out that a video call would be a quicker way to tell people "this is how it's done", I was told that it's not the way they deliver support. I had to beg our account managers for a video chat with some skilled users to show me how to do certain things that (a) were nowhere to be found on the guide, and (b) the support team wasn't able to solve.
Additionally, to find solutions, I was pointed to a forum where other users exchange tips on how they managed to solve problems - again, not really helpful as I would like to know this from Bob's team themselves since we're paying for the product, and I shouldn't rely on other users to tell me how they managed their way around a problem.

- Having a more centralised platform for all employees to share and recognise has been so beneficial
- Access People HR Suite (PeopleXD)
Hibob is much more user friendly than our previous system, it is prettier, much more customisable and to be used similarly to a social media platform has really helped people engage with the system.
PeopleHR was very systemised as opposed to getting people involved with giving kudos and thanks to people and to have a more centralised place for everything, has mean that performance management and reviews are easy to complete and manage and track throughout the year meaning people are more aligned with the vision and knowing where they stand with the business.
- Time Off and Attendance
- News feed, kudos etc
- Essential links

- Expenses can't be logged through bob so we use a widget and approval flow on peoples pages to work this out.
