Pros We love the socially engaging, easy to use interface. The home page really connects our global team with updates on what is happening across the business and strengthens our culture. The talent tools for surveying across all stages of the lifecycle has been the driver of much process improvement, development opportunities and always sharpening our practices and engagement levels. The new improvements to the job catalogue and AI across the platform have been great. Such a time saver! Cons The time off function is complicated and clunky and doesn't integrate well with our other tools, leading to inefficiency - if only the payroll function would come for AU :) Pricing on some of the add-ons has been high so we have not engaged with them but it integrates well with our chosen ATS and LMS.

VP and Head of Employee Success Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great solution for your mid sized company" October 21, 2025 4.0 Pros I like the look, it's very friendly and I like the org chart and directory. You can do some good custom fields and I like that it supports all countries. Cons I wish the settings and reports could be more robust. Also, the way to search through employees could be easier. The customer service is hard to get a hold of at times. Switched from [Gusto](https://www.capterra.com/p/131882/Gusto/) Moved from small company to large company and needed to support more countries.

Group IT Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly recommended and customisable tool for multiple uses" October 27, 2025 4.0 Overall, we were very happy with the platform as it had minimal bugs and issues, was easy for users and administrators, and was intuitive, minimising any learning curve. Pros Simple user interface but enough API integration with our SSO to enhance security. We also utilised HiBob for onboarding and offboarding which triggered alerts for other departments to carry out tasks and also for carrying out internal reviews every six months. Cons The cost was high for a recognise HR platform and these costs increased a couple of times a year. Overage charges were not at the same rate so often went above what we had budgeted for.

Pros It's a good tool for all the HR-related topics, such as requesting time off, uploading/reviewing/signing all the necesary documents, conducting performace reviews and 1-on-1 meetings. Cons I would change a bit the interface and the structure of the website. The structure of the website is not very straightforward: it was not easy to figure out that there are two tabs: Bob and Talent, so I couldn't find right away the space for my 1-on-1 and performance review. The colours and the design of the website could have been better too. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr Director of People Ops Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bob is a great add to your People Team " January 9, 2025 4.0 All in Bob is great, we often call him "Our Bestie Bob" and speak of him as an actual member of our team. Pros Bob is really multifaceted and has filled a lot of gaps we have as a smaller People team. It honestly is a bit more than we need at our org size, but I can toggle off things we don't utilize, which is super helpful. Being in several countries Bob was an easy call to make because the level of detail is there for things like holidays and what information we need for folks based on their locations. The integrations to our other tech stack are also amazing compared to other systems we have utilized. Cons Some of the processes to set things up seem to be over complicated, but support is usually able to assist and there is a very robust library to problem solve with. The reporting can take a bit to learn how to get what you want but once you do it's actually really great.

We felt like bob was the most robust for the best price point. Switched from [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) they could not keep up with the demand we had to support our international employees, and there was a lot of manual work that bob cut out Review Source AL Andrii L. Senior consultant Industrial Automation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "popular HR management tool " February 2, 2025 5.0 Good tool, very popular, very functional and priced moderately. Good to manage team up to 200 users. Pros hi Bot is trully popular solution within HR managers. So they use it on the top of finger tips. In includes onboarding, time and event tracking and connectivity to payroll system. Priced affordably for every size of business. Good is build in Microsoft AUTH module not only Google that makes sence. Very logical embedded menue logic in interface. Cons Would be good to have build in sophisticated Aplicant Tracking System with sourcing from 3D party profiles. Not large variety of payroll providers (Xero) but could be issue for international contractors. Good to have password manager for direct user assignments and information record about user hardware received from company.

Data Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HR tool that does what is intended to do but not perfect" April 14, 2025 3.0 Overall it's fine, it does the job with requesting sick leave and the shortcut for filling out timesheet is a good functionality. However, like any tool, it isn’t perfect. There’s room for improvement in terms of customization and data transparency, particularly around payroll details. Pros Requesting vacation or sick leave only takes just a few clicks, and I get real-time updates on the status of my requests. Cons The app is slightly clunky to use and some parts are hard to navigate. Payroll breakdowns are optional for HR to fill out so it would be great to have a clearer view of deductions and tax breakdowns without having to reach out to HR. The social feed and engagement features are nice to have but not somthing I am particularly interested in. Review Source Mouloukou K. Account executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One of the best in its category" July 17, 2025 5.0 Pros So far, so good. I think for a platform i did not know before, and the fact that the market is so competitive. It's impressive to see the quality of HiBob Cons Navigating the menus can sometimes be complicated because of top many options and menus being displayed. This might be an internal issue that said Review Source CB Colin B. CTIO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and full featured, employee friendly" February 8, 2025 4.0 Really positive, works well for the team, supports SSO, allows us to integrate kudos system and easy to use. Pros It doesn’t feel too corporate, fits well with the startup/scaleup culture we have. Easy to record absences and find team information easily too. Cons Mobile app doesn’t quite have the same features as the desktop site. Switched from [Breathe](https://www.capterra.com/p/126547/BreatheHr/) Price and feature set, bob was more sophisticated Review Source MF Matt F. 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 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. I have enjoyed using the program and would recommend it to friends and other coworkers with businesses.

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 WK Warren K. Sales manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Your best HR friend " December 9, 2024 5.0 Excellent user friendly interface. UX experience is world class. Very intuitive and easy to use. Pros I have used many tools like this and Bob is by far the best. In terms of interface it is very pleasant on the eye. The UX is top notch giving users an easy and effective way to navigate. I love the organizational structure feature as well, very simple to use. Cons Almost nothing, you have to almost make something up to fill this space as there really isn’t a lot wrong with it. Review Source DD David D. Software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bob is a great tool for HR management" November 10, 2024 5.0 Great tool to manage perfomance review and time off Pros How we can manage time off and performance review Cons The shoutout is not that necessary and create lots of useless notification Review Source RL Robert L. Key Account Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for performance reviews and time management" August 28, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use platform - book holiday/sick/birthday leave at the click of a button. I like the integration to google calendar. Easy to see when colleagues are scheduled to be off. We also recently started using for performance reviews. Cons Nothing noteworthy to mention here. I like the product Switched from [CharlieHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/158631/Charlie-HR/) I wasn't involved in the decision to switch providers Review Source AA Ali A. Customer Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good application for for small companies." August 5, 2024 5.0 Overall experience is positive, small companies which have less then 1K employees might find this app very useful, Pros Very simple look, and quite intuative. It is good for small companies for managing employees time punchs and holiday requests. Cons Lacking of regular updates, and feels like a bit empty and basic regarding the functions that other similar apps provide such as Polaris PSA's "Replicon". Review Source PB Pankaj B. IT Operates and Support Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Backbone HR" June 10, 2024 4.0 Pros In it's absolute definition HiBob is our backbone when it comes to employee management with it's simple yet effective Google integration! I'd definitely recommend it! Cons It's task reminders are not consistent and sometimes it duplicates the tasks when an auto tasks is triggered manually. If a task is triggered manually the auto version should not be triggered. Alternatives considered [Zoho People](https://www.capterra.com/p/110931/Zoho-People/)[BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing HiBob Cost compared to it's competitors, it's Support and ease of use. Switched from [Blissfully](https://www.capterra.com/p/177308/Blissfully/) Cost, it's lack of support and complex configuration. Review Source AC Amy C. Senior Account Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "HiBob for HR Portal" August 14, 2024 4.0 Pros I like that you can look up all employees in your company to learn their title, office and boss. That is very helpful at a large company. It is also helpful to have all your payroll, documents, time off etc all in one place. Cons There are times when I have had some glitching when using Bob - i.e. I am unable to use the search bar for some reason. Review Source DG Diana G. Product manager Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bob is great" June 11, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use, does its job, I like the way an employee can book holiday and see the other colleagues time off Cons The attendance part which didn’t track the time correctly sometimes when clocking in or out Review Source RD Roy D. Director of software engineering Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple, light, Great!" December 2, 2023 5.0 Overall experience is very good, much better than all previous solutions. Especially since it combines everything into one place which is neat and easy to use. Pros Simple and easy to use system that centralizes everything for employees and managers. I find myself open it many times. I also used the API which was well documented and easy to use and created simple automations to pull out some information. Cons Some of the screens are a bit overloaded and “old fashioned”. E.g the employee information. It could use a better UX and a fresh look. Review Source ST Shannon T. Payroll and Benefits Administrator Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My Bob Review" June 15, 2023 5.0 Very positive. Time taken to understand the relationship between customizable parts is worth the investment (task + flows, fields + values and API related functions). Pros Having a singular location for all of our employee data and being able to search up the information I'm looking for saves me lots of time. Importing information in bulk is also super handy. Cons It was disappointing to learn that Sandbox features are behind a paywall since it's important for us to test and view features before implementing them to the hole company. The benefits page is a bit limiting in that you have to upload spreadsheets for each update. Review Source FC Finan C. Sales Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Experience Using Bob As a HR Solution " April 30, 2024 5.0 Pros With the great talenet management and onboarding features, Bob is my favorite. It also helps with most HR needs Cons Bob has been amazing. I cant think of any failures. Review Source GB Gary B. Head of People Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Makes us look professional " June 14, 2023 5.0 Great solution and great company. Really easy to implement and the ? At the bottom that shows you a video on how to use the page is incredible for set up. Everything you need is in HiBob and there is always 2/3 different ways to do a task to suit each organisation. Pros HiBob tracks all out HR data in one place and we can access it with ease. When we onboard new employees, they love it and it makes us look really professional as a company. Cons The mobile app is great but you can’t see other people leave. A company view like there is on the desktop would be perfect. Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing HiBob Other companies experiences. They warned me off it from the time to set up and implement to overal use of the product. Review Source MD Marija D. People Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Affordable, customisable and easy to navigate " May 30, 2023 5.0 We are satisfied with hibob as our HRIS solution. We are a remote company so it´s really important that all is in one place and that we can track each other bank holidays, different announcements and just being able to get all relevant data with few clicks. Pros The easiness of setting up and customising the system to the company's needs. Not to forget that the price was less than what we were paying for another software that has not had half of the features like hibob. In the end, the system is pretty straightforward for the users, if you are an admin you can easily get the information you need and all is even accessible from your phone. Cons Some of the features could be more customisable such as an organisation chart, conditioning on reviews but if you do report it to the team they communicate if that customisation is on the roadmap or if they believe they will develop it. It would be great to have webinars on new features and great practises of hibob employees itself. Switched from [Personio](https://www.capterra.com/p/158622/Personio/) Hibob suited our organisation more, it was cheaper and more customisable considering that our staff is working across 20+ countries of the world. Not to mention that the interface is easier to navigate. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
