London, UK and Tel Aviv, Israel – 4 Oct, 2023: Fosway Group, a prominent European HR Tech analyst, has recognized HiBob, the innovative force behind the transformative HR platform, Bob, as a Core Leader in their 2023 9-Grid analysis of the Cloud HR market. This marks a notable progression from last year, when HiBob was positioned as a ‘Strong Performer’ in the 9-Grid™. This shift underscores the company’s exceptional enterprise win rate, delivery to customers, and the tangible impact it has had in real-world applications for its users.

A great example of HR  success using ‘Bob” can be seen with HiBob customer The&Partnership (T&P), the UK’s largest and Europe’s fastest-growing independent creative agency network, With a complex organizational structure spanning 30 sites, T&P sought to enhance company-wide engagement which they have been able to achieve using HiBob’s HR tech.  Through Bob’s homepage, internal news is shared, and employees can celebrate milestones with Shoutouts and Kudos, fostering a sense of belonging. T&P also leverages Bob to uncover employees’ unique skills and capabilities, enabling account managers to make more informed decisions when pitching for new accounts or campaigns.

Importantly, Bob’s People Analytics allows T&P to track diversity metrics and refine their diversity strategy according to local legal requirements. This data-driven approach has bolstered their ethical recruitment practices. In multiple ways, Bob has proved instrumental in managing T&P’s complex organizational structure, from driving engagement to facilitating tailored onboarding and providing valuable insights for DE&I efforts. The platform has become T&P’s central hub, replacing spreadsheets and emails and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Ronni Zehavi, CEO and Co-Founder of HiBob said: “Earning the title of Core Leader in Fosway’s 9-GridTM for Cloud HR analysis validates the approach we’re taking in engineering excellence and innovation are the right ones. It also applauds the exceptional efforts of our customer success teams in redefining how HR professionals empower their teams with Bob. This milestone reinforces our steadfast belief that customer-centricity and cutting-edge technology are the cornerstones for achieving higher enterprise wins and ensuring customer satisfaction.  A massive thank you to every member of our team for their passion and expertise in bringing this achievement to fruition. Together, we’re reshaping the playbook for success in today’s dynamic work environment.”

“The 2023 9-GridTM for Cloud HR has shown that some of the newer Suites to the HCM market are providing a robust challenge to the more established platforms through clear, people-centric functionality,” commented David Wilson, founder and CEO of Fosway Group: “HiBob continues to grow both their performance and capabilities for enterprise organisations, resulting in a rating as Core Leader this year.”
