People Solutions Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bob to the rescue! " May 15, 2023 5.0 Bob has simplified many aspects of our business. I can see and feel the ROI immediately and plan on doing those calculations at the end of Q4 to provide the leaders with percentage and data to showcase the ROI. Pros Bob has been great! We wanted a system that could be customized and unique to our unique workforce and business model. We found that in Bob!Implementation was a breeze. User friendly system allowed our employees the ability to get into the system with SSO, no technical issues & start using the system right away! Cons I would love the opportunity to "nudge" or remind people that have a task outstanding. Similar to when folks have pending documents. I would also add more features to the mobile app function. Currently it serves mostly as a directory but documents should be made available on the mobile app. Alternatives considered [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/)[BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/)[Paychex Flex](https://www.capterra.com/p/119841/Paychex-Flex/)[Workday HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/66908/Workday-HCM/)[monday.com AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing HiBob We choose Bob over other products because of:Custom features such as tasks, documents, worktables/sections User friendly/Mobile friendly app Unique features such as groups/interests to increase engagement Unique time off and holiday calendars to meet different site requirements Review Source Ben E. Owner Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The nicest HRIS I've ever used" June 12, 2023 4.0 Bob is a highly effective HRIS for small-medium sized SaaS companies Pros Bob is a solid HRIS system that can manage HR processes effectively. The system is user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it accessible to all employees. Its time tracking feature is highly efficient and helps to streamline the payroll process. Moreover, the feedback tracking feature is solid. Cons Bob's performance management leave much to be desired. Additionally, Bob's lack of support for useful competency frameworks is a major weakness. Without a strong foundation in this area, employees may struggle to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their roles.

CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Shocking treatment of loyal customers - avoid at all costs" March 31, 2025 1.0 Pros What used to be Pento before they bought it and fired all the customers. Cons Terrible communication. They bought Pento payroll software then stopped anyone using it who has less than 50 employees. This was AFTER they told me I could continue using it and then dropped the news with less than a month to go. Truly shocking. If they do this they could screw you over at any minute. Switched from [BrightHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/151525/BrightHR/) Pento sold it to me before they were acquired Review Source Alan B.

Ability to generate custom, digestible reports and analytics. The HR staff and the employees who have utilized it have given us nothing but positive feedback. Pros HiBob is both easy for administrators to use and intuitive for end users. Good data visibility and an intuitive interface characterize the reporting features. Workflows are fantastic, in my opinion as well. Cons Invisible drawbacks. Thanks to Bob's continuous updates and addition of new features in response to consumer input, any problems I've had have been swiftly and simply fixed. Switched from [Lattice](https://www.capterra.com/p/151676/Lattice/)[Personio](https://www.capterra.com/p/158622/Personio/) As a remote company, we're leveraging features like "about," "shoutouts," "kudos," and "clubs" to foster team spirit and communication. The problem we were having was keeping tabs on probationers. Bob's performance features helped us design a process that satisfied both management and staff. Review Source SC Shami C. Sales representative Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hi Bob our way to communicate within the team" November 13, 2025 4.0 I really enjoy the HiBob app since, it makes easy for me to see insight within my company and different program and keeps me updated for any company news. Pros It allows me to have access to my confidential and company documents. It also allows me to communicate within my company with different team members from a different program. Cons All over it has a smooth operation. The only things what I would have more better are maybe able to have more access to our fully integrated emojis while making posts.

Group Director of Recruitment Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best HRIS " April 22, 2025 4.0 Overall, it’s a really positive experience. One of the standout features is how seamlessly Bob integrates with our existing systems, particularly Greenhouse and our internal workforce planning tool. Everything connects smoothly, making data flow and reporting straightforward. The platform provides strong insights, is user-friendly, and supports every stage of the process effectively. Pros The user interface is excellent, intuitive, clean, and easy to navigate. The reporting features are robust, offering all the insights and data you need from both an HR and recruitment perspective. Cons This is a bit of a double-edged sword for me, personally, I’m not a huge fan of having separate pages or tabs for the different products, like Talent and standard Bob HR. That said, I understand the reasoning behind it, and can see the benefits of keeping them distinct. It likely comes down to personal preference. Review Source SC Sam C. Talent Partner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A User friendly platform with room to grow" October 21, 2025 4.0 Pros \- The platform is user-friendly and visually clear, which made it easy to manage my time off, view company holidays, and keep track of personal information - I appreciated the transparency — being able to see the org chart, team structure, and who’s out of office helped me stay better connected with colleagues - It centralised a lot of useful resources like policies, documents, and feedback in one place Cons \- Some features, like performance feedback and goal tracking, felt underdeveloped - Navigation could be improved, I often have to click through multiple menus - There are times when notifications or updates haven't come through clearly Review Source VR Verified Reviewer People Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bob- Review" May 22, 2025 4.0 Great tool for teams of 200-400 people, with a focus on culture building, offers a solid HR management system Pros Clean dashboards, very user-friendly, highly customizable, good support, easy to learn, and good integrations and other features like engagement surveys built in Cons Performance management tool section needs some upgrade, and limited ATS (recruitment) integration functions, so need a separate tool for that part of the employee lifecycle management Review Source DE Dennis E. Sales and Workplace Operations Lead Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, easy to use HR platform" May 2, 2025 5.0 Very good experience, have used it in my 2 most recent roles and I find it very easy to use for requesting holidays, seeing what benefits we have, current organisation of the company etc, very intuitive and at the moment would not change anything about it for how I use it. Pros I like the UI, good use of space on the webpage and allows an employee to see shoutouts, essential links, upcoming work anniversaries, new hires etc. Quite intuitive in terms of sections of the different tabs, very easy to navigate around. Cons None for my use case, functions very well so far. If I had to nitpick, I'd say to give an option for dark mode users. Review Source SB Stephanie B. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Bob has been great for my business" April 23, 2025 5.0 Pros Bob has been super easy to use. It has been appealing to the eye. It has really eased the workload around the office. Cons I do not have any negative comments about Bob.

Head of Legal Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Head of Legal - Personal Review of hibob" January 2, 2025 5.0 Pros As an employee, I find the interface to be very comfortable to locate information regarding my own employment, as well as submit time off notifications, etc. As a manager, while obviously the platform is only as useful as the information and features that our HR team chooses to include/utilize, I find the platform to be intuitive and clear - something which is not the case for many other products. Cons As noted above, I find the tool to be rather comfortable and do not have specific critiques. I believe our team could likely utilize more features, but that is obviously a calculous of time needed to set up more functionality as compared with competing demands in a rapidly scaling business.

Snr Performacne Marketing associate Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great and simple platform" November 20, 2024 4.0 Despite a few minor drawbacks, the platform has made my communication with hr easier Pros The platform's user-friendly interface is its standout feature—navigating through Bob feels intuitive and efficient. it is really easy to request time off and check on events. Additionally, the focus on employee-centric features like the culture hub and pulse surveys fosters a sense of community and are pretty fun Cons Bob excels in many areas, the mobile app feels a bit limited compared to the desktop version, particularly when it comes to accessing detailed analytics and reports. There’s also a slight learning curve for non-tech-savvy users when setting up complex workflows or integrations with other platforms. Review Source LD Lisa D. CSR Specialist Human Resources Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Decent for what it is" December 28, 2024 4.0 It functions well but could offer more compared to other sites/apps but over all is decent Pros Ease of use and navigation, works well fro what it is Cons Limited options, other sites/apps offer many other features Review Source SM Sara M. P&C Operations Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best HRIS of the market" May 10, 2023 5.0 We solved the global management of a lot of employees of different countries, as you can define sites and places depending on the country, and apply different time policies, and set different configurations as your convenience. The support team helps you to solve any doubt or question, and gives you all the documents and excels to import all the data you need. Pros I think ALL. Is the best tool to keep your employees database with all the HR needs. It's contain all the needs and functionalities. I did not try the payroll system.

People Services Specialist Philanthropy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An honest review of HiBob" July 3, 2023 5.0 A real challenger to the old-school main systems around. HiBob along with others really manage to bring a breath of fresh air in HR management and HRIS tools in general. I could not recommend it more.Its system as a SaaS is extremely convenient and can tailor it to any potential use, whether limited in combination with other systems or as your full HR system. Pros Every feature of HiBob has a meaningful impact, as long as it is properly set and used. The support team is fantastic and solves issues extremely quickly.We have HiBob for our organisation since last year, but I don't see how we could have done it with any other system. The most impactful to me is clearly the employee database management, and its general ease of use. Cons There are some automation features that are lacking, for instance the time and attendance module not being automatically linked to overtime policies. But I have no doubt that this will be implemented soon.The price can also be a deterrent, but it does fit with our purpose and need. Review Source SC Sarah C.

It has helped us automate tasks and focus on people initiatives that make a difference in employees' lives. With easy to use reporting systems and detailed dashboards, we are able to make well informed data-driven decisions. Cons Would love to see further expansion in the 1x1 tool to enable team members to make meetings with their managers, and allow other leaders book 1x1s with team members to encourage mentoring. I would also love to see further development in the e-sign templates to allow for direct uploading of editable pdfs.

" November 17, 2023 5.0 Pros HiBob is incredibly convenient for efficiently compiling and organizing staff data, particularly when it comes to gathering specific information for various tasks and departments. Its flexibility significantly streamlines my workload, making managing data a breeze. Cons HiBob is fantastic, but a feature I'd love to see is the ability to save preset report filters for different departments. This would streamline processes by having specific filters ready, eliminating the need to manually adjust them for each department's unique requirements. Implementing this would further boost efficiency and customization within the platform. Review Source CF Carol F. HRIS Analyst Gambling & Casinos Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic, Easily Customisable HR System" April 20, 2023 5.0 LOVE Bob! I've worked with several HRIS and it is honestly the easiest to use, the support team are lovely and overall it is a great user experience. Pros Access to real time data. System is easy to customise, you don't need a dev team to make changes you need and changes can be done in real time. Ease of use both for the HR team and employees. Its easy to navigate and use. Cons I think more work can be done on the performance management piece i.e.: including weightings on key indicators, instead of on the whole goal.

Pros Using Bob for onboarding, goal setting, and performance management have streamlined a lot of our bulky processes. We look forward to moving forward using more of the product soon. Cons I wish the integration of HR data would be a little easier or that we could have help now that we are ready to start that part even though we have been using Bob for other things for a while.
