FAQ

Bob is an all-in-one platform that helps organizations manage people, processes, and workforce decisions through a single connected experience.

It replaces separate, clunky tools by handling four main areas:

• Core: Provides the operational foundation that keeps people, workflows, and decisions aligned across the business
• Talent: Runs performance reviews, structures feedback, and tracks employee growth
• Payroll, Planning & Finance: Syncs HR updates directly with payroll to prevent errors, models workforce costs, and helps leaders make data-backed decisions
• AI Companion: Uses a built-in AI assistant to summarize performance reviews, draft constructive feedback, and instantly analyze company data to save everyone time

HiBob is built for modern, fast-growing companies of all sizes—whether teams are on-site, hybrid, or distributed. Bob is built to deliver real outcomes fast and is structured to support organizations at three distinct milestones:

• Growth (<200 employees): For smaller teams that need an easy-to-use platform to automate onboarding, track core workflows, and save hours of administrative time
• Scale (200–1,000 employees): For rapidly expanding businesses that need to manage shifting team structures, streamline reviews, and handle more complex operational demands
• Enterprise (1,000+ employees): For larger organizations that require robust data analytics, complex compensation planning, and global, multi-department alignment

No matter the business size, Bob provides tailored solutions for HR teams, Finance departments, payroll managers, and business leaders who want to work smarter and make data-backed decisions.

HiBob was founded by its CEO, Ronni Zehavi, and CTO, Israel David, and has been headquartered in London since its inception.

Because every organization is different, we provide a tailored quote that reflects your specific requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all pricing model.
