HiBob implementation & support

HiBob, set up properly for a business your size.

Hands-on HiBob implementation and support from a genuine super-user. I've worked in Bob's Core, Talent and Hiring modules day to day, so I know how to set it up to work for your people — not just how it looks in a demo. No in-house HR team needed.

What you get at go-live

  • Clean, accurate employee data — migrated and checked

  • Hiring pipelines, scorecards and offer flows ready to fill your next role

  • Onboarding and leaver workflows that run themselves

  • Performance cycles, goals and surveys your managers will actually use

  • Managers and employees who know how to use it — and actually do

Sound familiar?

Most of the businesses I help fall into one of these camps.

“We've signed with HiBob. Now what?”

The kick-off call went well, but there's nobody internally with the time or HR know-how to make the decisions the setup needs.

“We're paying for modules we don't use.”

Talent and Hiring are switched on, but reviews still happen in Word and candidates are tracked in a spreadsheet.

“We went live, but nobody uses it.”

Holiday requests still arrive by text. Managers don't log in. The data is half-finished and nobody trusts the reports.

“We just need someone to ask.”

It's mostly running fine — you'd just like an expert on hand for new workflows, reports and the odd “how do I…?”

Why Headsbase HR?

A super-user, not a slide deck

Having hands-on admin experience: building workflows, managing review cycles, running hiring pipelines and pulling the reports leaders ask for. We know the settings that matter, the quirks that catch people out, and the quickest way to get each module earning its keep.

When a setting needs a decision, you get an answer — not a question.

  • Hands-on: Day-to-day admin experience across Core, Talent and Hiring.

  • Knows the shortcuts: Workarounds and best-practice settings learned from real use.

  • SMEs are perfect: Built for how a 20 to 200-person business really runs.

  • Yours to run: Hand over a system your team can manage confidently.
