Why HR teams prefer HiBob
Smooth and seamless
Bob offers HR teams a smooth and seamless experience with intuitive navigation, easy configuration, and minimal setup effort. On the other hand, SAP SuccessFactors is often criticized for its clunky interface and unintuitive user experience, requiring additional fees for adjustments and updates.
Simplify everyday HR tasks with the sleek design
Reduce training time with a system that’s easy to learn and adopt
Eliminate frustration with a platform that prioritizes clarity, consistency, and ease of use
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. SAP tends to prioritize HR functions over user experience, resulting in a cumbersome platform that hinders peer-to-peer connection.
Empower employees, managers, and admins with personalized workflows
Foster engagement with built-in culture and connection tools
Delight users with a modern, highly-rated UI
Scale and adapt
Bob scales with minimal effort, adapting to your business’s growth and global reach. HR can reconfigure modules independently with simple toggle-on/off settings, quickly aligning with evolving needs. In contrast, SAP SuccessFactors updates can be costly, slow, and require external partners, limiting flexibility as your business expands.

Automate unlimited workflows for onboarding and manual processes
Leverage robust functionality to meet HR needs

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.
