Great all-around people management software

PROS

bob team is extremely agile and receptive to feedback. New features are pushed frequently and we feel heard when talking to the client service.

CONS

Most definitely the application's speed. It's sluggish, and the login takes forever.

Reason for choosing Bob

bob seemed to have the best balance between customizability and provided/fixed frameworks of people management.

Our HR team is happy with the simplicity of the program

The adaptability and simplicity of the system for the user. 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.

Reasons for switching to Bob

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 of HiBob

Bob has become our main HR system and allows us to track all the absences and employee information. We also use it as a base for the monthly payroll and use various reports. Bob provides a good onboarding experience for the new starters and allows employees to bond over some additional, fun information such as hobbies, food preferences, superpowers etc.

PROS

Very easy to use, helpful and quick customer support and account management, user-friendly layout.

CONS

Sometimes there can be limited functionality - examples include not being able to amend the automatic responses (onboarding) or adjusting holidays for part-timers.

The nicest HRIS I've ever used

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.

Reasons for switching to Bob

Workday is a nightmare to use; we needed something more intuitive
