1,806 HiBob HRIS Reviews
What I like best about HiBob is how user-friendly and visually intuitive the platform is. From day one, it’s been easy to navigate for both HR teams and employees. The onboarding workflows are smooth and customizable, making the new hire experience seamless. I also appreciate the rich people analytics and customizable dashboards—it helps us make data-driven decisions quickly. Plus, the ability to integrate with other tools in our tech stack (like Slack, ATS platforms, and payroll providers) makes HiBob a central hub for all our HR needs. The employee engagement features—like shoutouts, surveys, and birthday/anniversary reminders—are also a great touch that helps build culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While HiBob is generally intuitive, there are a few areas where it could improve. Some of the reporting features can feel a bit limited unless you're well-versed with custom reports, and at times it takes a few extra steps to get the exact data view you need. The mobile app also lacks some of the functionality of the desktop version, which can be inconvenient for managers or employees on the go. Additionally, while integrations are available, setting them up can require more technical support than expected. Lastly, customer support response times can occasionally be slower than ideal, especially during high-traffic periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is clean, user-friendly, and doesn't feel like you're wrestling with outdated software.
The employee profiles give a great snapshot of each person’s journey, and the ability to track time off, org structure, and documents in one place is a huge time-saver. It also really shines in how it brings transparency and connection to teams, especially in hybrid or remote setups, with features like shoutouts, polls, and the people directory.

The performance review module, while functional, could be more flexible in how it handles feedback cycles or review templates. It occasionally feels like it’s built with a one-size-fits-most approach rather than being easily adaptable to different team structures or philosophies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like most about HiBob is how easy it is to use and how much it handles. At our company, we use it for everything from time off and reviews to payroll, benefits, and org charts—all in one place. The interface is clean and intuitive, so it’s easy to figure out, even if you’re new. I use it a few times a week, and it’s super convenient when I need to check something or get something done quickly without bothering HR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Reporting can be a bit limited for deeper insights, and I often export data to dig in further. Some features, like the review system, can be confusing—especially since we only use it annually and the layout sometimes changes. I’d also love more home screen customization; we don’t use the social features, so a more functional layout would be better. That said, it's great that "Request Time Off" is front and center—super handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, it's like HiBob read our minds. From the super-smooth onboarding workflows to those surprisingly delightful birthday reminders (yes, we celebrate everyone now), it’s the kind of HRIS that actually makes people want to use it. The UI is modern, clean, and doesn’t feel like it time-traveled from 2004 (looking at you, legacy systems 👀). The best part? The transparency and visibility it gives across teams without stepping on privacy. Plus, our HR team sleeps better now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No platform's perfect (not even Bob, sorry Bob!). Sometimes, reporting can feel like solving a Rubik’s cube-doable but not without a few YouTube tutorials or extra support pings. Also, the mobile app is helpful, but a bit limited compared to the desktop version. Would love a little more muscle in there for on-the-go HR magic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like most is how easy it is to use and how much it actually does. At our company, we use HiBob for a bunch of things—booking time off,, doing peer and manager reviews, payroll, looking up our employee benefits (and checking org charts). It’s nice to have all that in one place without needing to jump around different tools or ask HR.
The interface is clean and modern, and it doesn’t take much effort to figure things out, even if you’re new. I probably use it a few times a week, and it’s just super convenient—especially when I need to quickly check something or take action without bugging anyone else.

There’s not much I don’t like, but a couple of things could be better. Sometimes switching between different areas (like from benefits to reviews) feels a little clunky—it’s not a huge deal, but it could be smoother. And there are some parts we just don’t use, like the social feed/timeline stuff, which kind of just sits there and makes things feel a bit more cluttered than they need to be.
Also, some settings and admin stuff feel a bit geared more towards HR folks, which makes sense, but can be a bit confusing if you’re just a regular user trying to poke around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really appreciate how easy HiBob is to navigate the interface is clean, intuitive, and makes it simple for me to find what I need quickly. I also like how much I can customize reports and workflows to fit our team's needs. The self-service options are great too it's nice not having to always rely on HR for small updates or changes. Plus, the integrations with other systems we use make processes feel much more connected and streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I find the reporting a bit limited when I need to pull more complex or detailed insights I usually end up exporting data and doing some extra work manually. A few integrations took a bit longer to get fully set up than I expected, and I’ve noticed that new users who aren’t as familiar with tech need a little extra time to get comfortable.

As a Product Support Engineer at Mindtickle, I use HiBob regularly for tasks like applying for leaves, peer reviews, performance reviews, and 1:1s with my manager. What I like most about HiBob is its clean and intuitive user interface. It’s easy to navigate, even when switching between different modules like time off, reviews, and goals. I also appreciate the transparency it brings to performance tracking and feedback, which helps in aligning personal development goals with team expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't encountered any glitches so far. My experience using the tool for performance reviews, setting up one-on-one sessions, applying for leave, and conducting peer reviews has been excellent. My usage has primarily focused on these activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like it's layout, how it looks/acts like social media. How kudos and company posts and announcements are shown as a Facebook page and your follower list is next to it with people's whereabouts. It just makes it easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the Bob AI needs a lot of work. After attending a Hibob webinar that spoke about it, I went on to ask it some basic questions to understand what it can do - all answers came back with either completely irrelevant information or nothing at all.
I also dislike the surveys feature as when we do annual reviews for it, for a brief moment they become open to everyone in the company to see however it should be confidential.
I also dislike the Employee of the Month system as you cannot send a reason for nominations, or pick more than one person. We would like this as we have two office locations.
I also dislike that it cannot be enforced, or sent reminders for people to upload their WFH and office days to HiBob. There's also no option to have it as a log so we can see the data of who is doing their full office days or who is not logging them appropriately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a system its fairly in depth and thorough in terms of what functionality it offers. I also appreciated its flexibility - for example our organisation requires PTO tracking but not approval, and HiBob offers that. Its also actually simple enough to use as a regular employee which I find most HR platforms do not really bother with. We now use it for payroll too which is very convenient to keep everything in one place.
Additionally, unlike a lot of other platforms we've tried in the past, it is very good at syncing your teams holiday to Google Calendar, which is such a useful feature - HiBob is not precious about you needing to use their platform to access the data, there's a priority on what is actually convenient and useful to you.

There are times I've struggled with the Employee Review system and figuring out how to review others, how to see my reviews etc. Part of that comes down to the fact that we do annual reviews and the system has tended to change when we use it once a year.
Additionally, I would appreciate being able to customise my home screen. There is a focus on social interactions between your colleagues, making it look like a social network. We don't use it for that, and I would like to be able to pick a different home screen. I do however appreciate that the very first thing I see on my home screen is "Request Time Off" which is most likely the thing I'm visiting HiBob for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the platform's page formats and navigation. It's easy to use, and in the three years I've had an account, I've only had to reach out to HiBob Support maybe once? I mostly use it to manage my PTO requests, but I also love the Org Chart feature. During my company onboarding, this was a massive benefit for me as a visual learner and new joiner, and even today, it's great to reference as our structure has continued to evolve.

Only two things come to mind. First, is that we used to have painfully long employee surveys hosted in HiBob. However, this was an "us" problem and, thankfully, the surveys have since been optimized and no longer suck - yay. Second, which is also likely an "us" thing, but I input my birthday backwards lol (I'm US -based, company us UK-based,so probably boils down to me being American/not reading). This meant I had a HiBob second birthday curse (getting wished Happy Birthday twice a year). There was a reason it took me a long time to change it, but I think this is also now solved, so all is well with my impression of HiBob. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
