How the VP of People from Chili Piper automated HR workflows

The Challenge

Managing 150 employees located across 36 countries, Chili Piper faced substantial administrative burdens. They were missing integrated workflows, had to manually track onboarding/offboarding and offer letters, and risked inconsistent employee experiences in a remote setting.

The Solution

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

The Results

Chili Piper uses HiBob’s Surveys and Your Voice to collect continuous, anonymous employee feedback, fostering transparency, connection, and trust. Bob’s flexibility allows 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.
