How the VP of People from Chili Piper automated HR workflows

The Challenge

Managing 150 employees working across 36 countries, Chili Piper faced serious administrative burdens. They lacked integrated workflows, had to manually track onboarding/offboarding and offer letters, and risked inconsistent employee experiences in a remote environment.

The Solution

Chili Piper uses HiBob to completely automate onboarding and HR workflows, delivering personalized, location-based experiences for global employees, saving over 20 hours monthly to focus on culture and growth.

The Results

Through HiBob’s Surveys and Your Voice, Chili Piper collects ongoing, anonymous employee feedback, building transparency, connection, and trust. Bob’s flexibility supports tailored use across culture, engagement, and decision-making.

Our biggest gain from Bob comes from the time saved from automations. It lets us focus on what actually impacts our people. Plus, Bob connects to so many tools, which is really helpful. It saves us a lot of time and manual effort.
