HiBob consulting that turns Bob into your trusted HR system

HiBob consulting is about making sure Bob is the right fit, implemented in the right way and embedded across your people, payroll and finance processes. A strong Bob implementation gives HR one source of truth, drives adoption with simple workflows, secures data with the right permissions and unlocks analytics your leaders actually use. Poorly planned rollouts create noise, manual work and shadow spreadsheets. Our role is to help you design, configure and optimise Bob so it quietly does its job.

HiBob selection and solution blueprint

We help you decide if HiBob is the right choice for your size, markets and operating model. That starts with understanding your current HR processes, systems, manual work and risks, then mapping them against what Bob can realistically deliver. You get a clear solution blueprint before signing long contracts or over buying modules.

We define scope, core entities, key workflows, data model and reporting needs so your HiBob consulting journey has guardrails. That blueprint aligns HR, IT, Finance and leadership on why Bob, how it will be used and what success looks like in the first 6 to 18 months.

Bob implementation and workflows design

Strong Bob implementation lives or dies on workflows. We translate your hire to retire processes into simple, automated Bob workflows covering onboarding, probation, promotions, offboarding, policy sign offs and more. Each step is built to be intuitive for HR and line managers, not just system admins.

We also ensure Bob workflows connect smoothly with payroll cut offs, approvals and local rules. The result is fewer emails, fewer missed tasks and a better experience for employees. Your teams work inside Bob because it helps them, not because they are forced to.

Integrations across payroll, IT and tools

HiBob delivers real value when it sits at the heart of your ecosystem. We design and oversee integrations between Bob and payroll engines, SSO and identity platforms, time and attendance, ATS, finance systems and collaboration tools. The aim is clean, secure and timely data flows.

Our integration approach balances APIs and file based flows where sensible, with clear ownership and monitoring. This reduces duplicate entry, access issues and reporting gaps. Your HiBob implementation becomes a stable hub rather than another disconnected tool.

Analytics, dashboards and data quality

Most teams underuse Bob analytics. We work with HR and Finance to define the metrics that actually matter: headcount, attrition, diversity, cost, absence, engagement signals and manager compliance. Then we configure Bob analytics and dashboards so stakeholders get answers in a few clicks.

Good analytics needs good data. We bring data quality checks, field standards and simple governance so your Bob reporting is trusted. That trust is what turns HiBob consulting from a cost into a strategic enabler for board and exec conversations.

Permissions, governance and optimisation

HiBob permissions and roles can get messy fast. We design a permissions model that protects sensitive data while keeping the system usable for HR, managers and employees. This includes role based access, approval rights, document visibility and audit friendly change trails.

If Bob is already live, we run a structured health check across workflows, integrations, analytics and permissions. Then we deliver prioritised fixes and enhancements. This optimisation work lifts adoption, removes friction and extends the life of your investment without starting again.

Frequently asked questions

About Our HiBob Consulting Services

What is HiBob consulting and who is it for?

HiBob consulting is specialist support to evaluate, implement and optimise Bob as your core HR system. It is for organisations that want better workflows, integrations, analytics and permissions than a basic lift and shift setup, and need confidence before investing.

How does expert HiBob consulting improve Bob implementation success?

Expert support reduces false starts. We align stakeholders, define Bob implementation scope, design Bob workflows, plan integrations and set clear data standards. This structure cuts delays, avoids messy permissions and helps HR and Finance see value in months, not years.

Can you help us decide if HiBob is the right platform?

Yes. As part of HiBob consulting we run a rapid fit assessment against your size, growth, complexity and existing stack. You get a clear recommendation, including where Bob is strong and where configuration or integrations are needed to meet your goals.

What is included in your Bob implementation support?

Our support can cover solution design, configuration reviews, Bob workflows setup, data migration guidance, integrations, UAT support, launch communications and hypercare. We flex to your internal capacity so your team stays in control but not overloaded.

Do you support HiBob workflows for onboarding and performance?

Yes. We design end to end Bob workflows across onboarding, probation, reviews, promotions and offboarding. The aim is simple steps for managers and employees, with HR retaining control and visibility without micromanaging every change.

Can you migrate history and audits?

Yes, depending on platform capability. We assess the need for history vs snapshots and design HR data migration loads that preserve required context for reporting and audit.

How do you approach HiBob integrations with payroll and IT systems?

We map inbound and outbound data needs, then choose the right mix of APIs and file based flows. Ownership, frequency and checks are documented. This reduces manual uploads and helps ensure payroll, identity and reporting use the same trusted data from Bob.

Can you help us design HiBob analytics and reporting?

Yes. We work with HR and Finance to define key questions, then configure Bob analytics, dashboards and exports to answer them. We also address data quality so leaders trust what they see and stop maintaining parallel spreadsheets.

How do you manage Bob permissions and sensitive data access?

Permissions and roles are a core part of our HiBob consulting. We design role based access that protects pay and performance data while keeping self service smooth. We also ensure changes are auditable for legal and compliance teams.

What if our current HiBob setup is messy or underused?

We run a structured health check across workflows, fields, integrations, analytics and permissions. You get a prioritised remediation plan and, if required, hands on support to fix issues. Most clients see fast wins in usability and reporting.

Do you only work with HiBob?

No. We are familiar with a range of HR and payroll platforms. On this page we focus on HiBob consulting, but our recommendations always consider your wider landscape so Bob fits cleanly into your ecosystem.

Can you support multi entity and multi country HiBob deployments?

Yes. We help design structures, sites, policies and approvals to support complex organisations. We ensure Bob workflows, integrations and analytics scale without losing local nuances or control.

What is the first step to engage your HiBob consulting team?

Start with a short discovery call. We review your objectives, current setup or evaluation stage and propose a clear scope, timeline and commercials so you can decide quickly with full visibility.
