About
Hibob was founded in 2015 in Tel Aviv by Ronni Zehavi and Israel David, with the mission of modernizing HR for companies with globally distributed, dynamic workforces. Built natively for the cloud and designed around a people-centric UX, Bob (its flagship HRIS product) was purpose-built for mid-market companies that outgrew legacy systems like BambooHR but didn't need the complexity of Workday or SAP SuccessFactors.\n\nBob provides a unified platform covering core HR, payroll, onboarding, performance management, compensation planning, and workforce analytics. Its differentiators include a highly configurable data model that supports complex org structures, native support for multi-country payroll, a modern employee experience interface, and deep integrations with tools like Slack, LinkedIn, and major ATS platforms. The platform serves 3,500+ customers globally, with particular strength in the technology, fintech, and professional services sectors.\n\nHibob has raised $574M in total funding at a $2.7B valuation and reported $121.7M in revenue for 2024, a 47% year-over-year increase. The company is widely regarded as IPO-ready and represents one of the most prominent challengers to the incumbent HR software market. Its rapid growth reflects a broader shift among mid-market companies seeking modern, employee-friendly HR tools that can scale with international expansion.
