Why HR teams prefer Bob
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.
- Support dozens of languages and currencies
- Integrate international payroll with centralized management
- Ensure compliance with localized policy and regulatory features
