The user experience is unlike any other HR system I have used - it's easy to navigate and engaging for your business users, not just HR. The system is also constantly evolving with new features and functionality added monthly.

Our previous HR system was very limited, so we relied heavily on manual excel trackers and diary management. [T]he majority of tasks are now managed through automated flows and reports.

HiBob has been a game-changer for me. It's straightforward to use and very intuitive. You don't need to learn how to use it. It also provides a sense of community for our global team, and the value of what you get relative to the tool's cost is exceptionally high.

HiBob is the only product I have found that can seamlessly handle w2 employees and overseas independent contractors. We can distribute and store documents, track OOO schedules, and include ICs in teambuilding and employee engagement.
