About Bob
Bob is a modern HR platform for modern HR challenges.
Simplify complexity
Bob lets you manage people globally and thrive through change. From culture and connections to performance and payroll, Bob is the HCM built for everyone in your company, for everything HR. Whether it's streamlining HR processes to save HR admin time, understanding your people with feedback cycles and surveys, or creating reports for leadership and board members, Bob has what it takes to put your people first while getting your HR strategy done.
Remain agile and flexible
Bob easily adapts to your organization’s ever-changing needs. Unlike legacy HR systems that make HR conform to traditional HR practices, Bob’s unparalleled configuration capabilities let HR set up processes that fit their unique organization. Quickly meet local regulations, market conditions, and much more while giving your people an exceptional experience.
Save time on core HR processes
Bob streamlines core HR and saves time while preserving accuracy. You can automate and simplify processes, customize onboarding for any site or position, set up task lists, and automate approval cycles. Time and absence management can be tracked via desktop and mobile or Microsoft Teams and Slack integrations. Surveys let you closely monitor employee sentiment changes, while HR insights and reports allow you to improve HR performance and enhance the employee experience.
Leverage powerful analytics
Gain meaningful intel, and uncover hidden insights about your people. Bob’s Analytics provides you with real-time, cross-platform data, enabling you to tell the story behind the numbers. Bob’s KPI dashboards help you view and measure important metrics such as headcount, growth, retention, and absenteeism to uncover blind spots, patterns, and hidden bias.
Drive global connections and belonging
When your people feel they belong, they’re more likely to want to stay and grow within your company. Having a platform to help you do this—no matter where your people work—is critical. Bob includes features for creating community and culture like Clubs, Shoutouts, and Kudos. It also allows for personalized pre-boarding and onboarding workflows that help new hires get comfortable, learn your culture, and meet their teammates.

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.

Really positive, would recommend as it's very engaging in design, but also useful in terms of a HR portal.
Pros
I really like the social media style communication on the profile page, this has brought our teams together so well across all locations.
Cons
Some of the dashboards could be adapted to show more of a breakdown. For example time off by reason, not just by month.

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.
