Why HR teams prefer HiBob
Built for HR
Bob was designed to solve the current challenges of HR teams, empowering HR leaders to become strategic partners in the organization’s success. Rippling, on the other hand, serves the entire back office, which may result in a steeper learning curve to fully leverage the platform.
Change, configure, and adjust as you scale
Automate unlimited workflows for onboarding and beyond
Leverage robust functionality to meet HR needs
People-first at the core
Bob creates a welcoming environment that inspires people to engage with their company and peers, producing experiences that connect people to the company’s mission and values. Rippling’s platform can be seen as more utilitarian, with the homepage resembling an app store rather than a social feed to engage employees.
Empower employees, managers, and admins with ease of use
Foster engagement with built-in culture and connection tools
Delight users with a modern, highly-rated UI
Global meets local
Bob is designed as a global engagement platform that effortlessly connects your distributed workforce across regions. At the same time, Bob’s flexible, built-in compliance and customization features ensure you can adapt seamlessly to your local needs—now and as you grow. Rippling was founded in the US and only recently began to introduce its global offering.

Integrate international payroll with centralized management

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.
