About HiBob
HiBob is a core HR system, not an Employer of Record. It may suit companies that already employ their people and want an HRIS; outside the UK you would typically pair it with a payroll provider, and with an EOR if you hire abroad.

- ✓Designed for mid-sized companies with employees in multiple countries
- ✓Integrates with third-party payroll providers
- ✕Not an EOR — it cannot employ anyone on your behalf
- ✕Native payroll is UK-only; everywhere else depends on a third-party provider
- ✕No published pricing
