Key benefits of bob
Save time on core HR processes and focus on the big picture
Bob streamlines core HR by automating and simplifying processes, including onboarding for any site or position, easy to set up task lists, and automated approval cycles. Time and absence management are easily tracked via desktop and mobile or on Microsoft Teams and Slack. Surveys let HR closely monitor employee sentiment changes while HR KPIs and talent analytics deliver reports with metrics that let you continuously improve HR performance and enhance the employee experience.
Support scaling
Bob’s flexible, global-at-the-core, and specialized capabilities such as support for non-hierarchical organizational structures make it easy to scale from a 50 ee company to a 2,500 ee company. Configurable processes for each site, including time-off policies and workflows enable growth and scaling.
Leverage powerful analytics
Using Bob, your team can produce reports and proactive insights on vital HR KPIs. Data is collected daily from employee and manager engagement with the platform. Data insights from the platform assist HR leaders in forming strategic programs and bringing valuable information to the executive table.
Retain talent
Your people will want to use Bob. Bob offers a distinct user-friendly experience that brings people together to create meaningful professional and social relationships, whether they work on-site or remotely. Employee records act as social media-style profiles and company news is shared on the homepage feed. Employees and managers can acknowledge achievements using the Kudos and Shoutouts features. Using Bob motivates employees and keeps them feeling good about their company and their contributions.
Create a remarkable employee experience
Bob enhances your company culture by creating transparency in the organization’s structure with the Org Chart functionality.

A great up and coming app
Reviewed on 05/05/2022
Pros
LOVE! It is a main staple on most tools to be integrated with, slack is easy but also other payroll, engagement and HR/Tech tools integrate seamlessly.
Love the UX, simple, colourful and engaging.
Customer service is great too! Keep doing what you're doing, bob :)
Cons
The pricing model for new features could be a bit more adaptable. We wanted to add timesheets just to a set number of employees but they wanted to charge us for the whole company!

Great all-around people management software
Reviewed on 05/11/2019
Pros
bob team is extremely agile and receptive to feedback. New features are pushed frequently and we feel heard when talking to the client service.
Cons
Most definitely the application's speed. It's sluggish, and the login takes forever.

I inherited the system from my predecessor who was non HR. It looks pretty to the end user but on terms of functionality it is limited and feels totally detached from what HR professionals actually need
Pros
There are very few positives I can draw on
Cons
The software feels like it has been created in the absence of any HR feedback. Forms dont flow, modules arent effective (talent management for example is completely 2 dimensional and not aligned to any global talent frameworks), org planning is almost impossible.

ease of HR management, also our finance team benefits from easy holidays/absenses management, payroll reports and such.
I'm doing all admin in bob, from contracts to onboarding, org structure, salary changes etc
Pros
It's very easy to use - user friendly interface, intuitive navigation, you can find whatever you need in the matter of seconds even if it's your first experience with the platform
It's beautiful - our employees love it too
The support team is amazing - they not only resolve any issues quickly, but they also listen to suggestions and implement them within reasonable time. I love getting product updates as I know that there will be something I asked about.
The system features everything you'd want from a modern HRIS and even more - we love club feature and about section - it helps employees learn more about each other and find common interests.
There's some functions that I'd love to have but they are not yet there (such as pre-boarding or e-signature) but the guys are constantly working on them and I've seen that for example e-signature is coming within next few weeks.
Cons
If we are talking about bob as HRIS there's very few things that I don't like, or rather I would like to have and they are not yet there - prebording being one example.
I'd love performance module to be more sophisticated but the guys have just introduced it and I see that it gets updated constantly, which is great. also, it's not a separate platform for performance management so I wouldn't expect it have all the features that other platforms dedicted to performance only have.
There are other small things (such as I can't send a survey to 1 person only), but they are small compared to all the benefits and again, I know that sooner or later those will be resolved too.

An HRIS that does it all and then some!
Reviewed on 09/09/2021
Great all around HRIS. I would and have recommended to others.
Great all around HRIS. I would and have recommended to others.
Pros
Bob is intuitive, easy to use and gets ahead with all its features. It's not only an employee data management software, it's a one-stop-shop for all-things-employee lifecycle (performance, surveys, compensation, org charting, reporting, etc.). Employees love to use it because it provides value to them outside of simply storing their data with things like shout-outs, company announcements, clubs, interests, demographics, etc. It's also very beautiful to look at!
Cons
Hard to pick something to dislike. I will say that sometimes it takes longer to hear back from chat support. I wish they had an implementation team or person to work with you to set the tech up appropriately according to your use case. The implementation is very self-lead, and for someone that is maybe the only person in their department, this can be overwhelming if you can't find the time to dedicate to it. Other than that, I'm very happy with the software and each team member I've had the pleasure of chatting to has been more than helpful and lovely.
