Just joined HCHR? Introduce yourself here!

Hello!

I’m the People Manager at Annapurna - a global recruitment business based in London. I began my career in Talent but now cover all areas of HR. We implemented HiBob in 2018 and it’s been a great platform with loads of great updates since then! 

I’m interested in utilising the platform, as I’m sure there’s lots we can do better. I’m also keen to meet & network with other HR professionals 😊

Hello all! 

Happy to be here. I am Sophie McAdam Clark, I’ve recently started a new role as People Ops Director with Tquila Automation (high growth start up) we are an automation consultancy based out of Austin Texas, UK and Romania. I decided to implement Bob in my first month here, into my second month now and getting ready to launch with the team. 

I’ve joined this community as I am keen on sharing our ideas on how you’ve all used automation to streamline your processes - what’s worked well within your teams etc. 

Right now, I’m passionate about getting our ducks in order, super excited to be using Bob as a tool to help with this. Really looking forward to the amazing things we can do to make the employee experience enjoyable and slick! 

Thanks :) 

Sophie

Hello there I’m Karen Head of Employee Experience at DirectID.  We rolled bob out Dec 2021 and have been finding our way.  We are a rapidly growing fintech with 100% remote/flexible working.  We have no offices and hire around the world.  42 brilliant people and growing.  We love bob but am quite convinced we are not getting all the benefits from the automation and really testing as we go. 

I think this community is a brilliant idea to crowd source ideas and information.  I know this is something the People community does really well so looking forward to it.

Karen

Welcome @Sophie McAdam Clark - so glad you’re here 🤩 

Just wanted to point you (and any one else in their initial phases) to our private group for Bob-boarding and THIS THREAD for when you ready to tell us all about the launch! 🚀 

Hello fellow Bob’ers,

I am the Head of HR for DSP Concepts, an audio software tech startup  based in Santa Clara, California, with offices in Stuttgart, South Korea, Taiwan. Our team is mostly in Northern California, Boston, and Detroit, with remote employees throughout the US. I implemented Bob in July 2020 and am very excited about how Bob is constantly releasing features and modules that have been so helpful as our company grows in complexity and geographically. We recently implemented OKRs and goal setting using Bob, a welcome departure from Word and Excel manual documents. I’ve been looking forward to connecting with like-minded HR professionals to exchange ideas and solutions within the Bob community. 

I look forward to connecting and learning from you!

Best,

Myra

Why hello all you amazing HR professionals! I’m so excited this group exists!

I’m head of People & Culture for Fluevog Shoes, a fashion shoe and accessories company spanning North America, Europe, and Australia! We are so excited to have Bob, our company’s first HRIS. We are rolling it out in stages at the moment, having just introduced it to our head office team with great feedback. 

I’m looking for all your collective wisdom and knowledge for this great product, I have extensive experience with the “other” B-named HRIS, and while I’m delighted by all the additional features available, I’m still learning how it all works together. 

Looking forward to connecting!

Hi Everyone,

I’m the People & Performance Director at Modulous - a tech scale up in the property technology/construction technology sector. 

We’re predominantly London based with a small presence in the United States. Bob is our second attempt at a HRIS and we love it, but feel we can get more from the existing capabilities.

We’ve implemented the performance module, some ad-hoc surveys and make full use of the workflows for onboarding. We intend to implement the Compensation module and Your Voice pretty soon, as well as make better use of the ELF 1:1 features and the employee engagement offering. Our next major initiative will be building out a corporate learning academy with Moodle.

Really glad that there’s a community here to bounce ideas and learn from around Bob functionality.  I’ve been reading some of the posts today and it has been helpful to see what others are doing, experiencing with Bob.

Hi everyone!

Glad to be joining a community that is passionate about People. I am the Head of People & Culture at a Fintech start-up called Digizoo.

We have implemented Hibob last week and we are still in the phase of people engaged with the platform. We have a remote first approach and also a team across all the generations.

I am really interested to learn about the different approaches other companies have to ensure that everyone stays engaged.

Thanks,

Anneliese

I am super happy to join this community and connect with HiBob users around the world!

Hi Sofie, 

I’m really keen to talk Talent Development and Bob with you! 

Hi, good to see a Swede here! 👋🏻

Hi,

I’m Ulrika, Head of HR as Vaimo. Vaimo is a global digital commerce service provider with 600 people across 14+ countries. Based in Stockholm, Sweden.

We are on Bob since 3 years now and overall happy with it. We are looking to really get the most out of the Talent sections and I would be very keen to get in contact with someone who works with a continuous performance process and using Bob to support it. We have not nailed it yet. So feel free to reach out if you want to share ideas!

 

Hi all,

I am Alena - Compensation & Benefits manager at IDH (Netherlands-based NGO). We have employees all over the world and are very excited to use Bob!! As we have launched it this year, there are a lot of new features we are discovering every day! I am looking for tips, work-arounds and best HR practices here:)

Excited to meet you all!

Cheers,

Alena

Are you doing compensation review in the comp module?

Hi everyone, it’s so great to be part of this community!

I am the PEOPLE & Culture Manager at Experiencegift in Amsterdam. I have been hired to build the PEOPLE department from scratch, exciting! I chose Hibob as our new HRSystem and I am in the first phase of the implementation so very much looking forward to learning from you all :)

Some things about myself → I am originally from Spain, I lived in Scotland for 3 years and now in Amsterdam for 4,  I have worked in the PEOPLE department for 10 years & I love to meet new people so if you want to talk about anything related to People & Culture, or just wonder where to find the best in Madrid, feel free to contact me!

Hi

I’m Jen, a People Coordinator (Reward) for ManyPets. We are a pet insurance fintech based in the UK, US and Sweden. I’ve worked here since we were a small start up and enjoy watching us scale up. We are now 500+ employees in three countries. 

Myself and the other two People Coordinators are responsible for Bob. We moved to Bob from People HR in September 2021 as it’s so much more customisable and suits our company more. 

I’m looking forward to sharing other people’s ways of using the system. Especially as we grow in other countries

Hi everyone, 

I’m Grégory, HR Manager at Innovative Language, a company providing online teaching services and solutions for more than 30 languages. Our main office is in Tokyo (where I am), but we have people all over the world.

Our company started to use HiBob more or less when I joined them at this position, so I’m in charge of supervising this amazing tool and push for a more global use. So far, HiBob has been an amazing tool but as others have said, I know we’re still not using it at its full capacity.

I’m a big believer of communication, an act apparently so simple, yet so complex inside companies. Siloing is my nightmare and I’m trying to constantly fight it.

I’m looking forward to sharing experiences and see also how other people are using HiBob.

Hi everyone!

I’m trhilled to be here, to work with bob and you guys, being part of this community.

If you want to know a little bit about me: I’m a father, a basketball player, and a great mate tester!

See you around,

Nico

Hi all!

I’m Zoe from Australia, and I am the Head of People Operations at disco.ac, a tech start-up in the music industry. We are a fully remote company based in Melbourne Australia, but our staff range in location from Australia to the USA, London and Europe.

As a smaller company in the growth phase, we moved to Bob approximately 6 months ago.

I would love to connect with others in the tech or remote/global space. Things I am super passionate about (and generally won’t shut up about) include -

1. Inclusivity and diversity in tech
2. The challenge of managing multiple labour laws across multiple countries
3. Org. development and strategic planning
4. Workplace culture and engagement

Really, I love to chat about everything, so feel free to add me, ask questions, message me, create a People/HR messaging support group with me - whatever!

Cheers

Zoe

Please share your experience or resources if you have any or are on the same boat!

Hi everyone!

I’m Jaakko, People Services Manager at Next Games in Helsinki, Finland. We develop mobile games based on movies and tv-series. Netflix acquired us in April, so we’re now starting to develop games to their platform. We’ve got 130+ people, most living in Helsinki, but we’ve been hiring more and more fully remote people.

We have just implemented bob - we rolled it out this morning to the whole staff. Everyone has been really happy with using it, it’s all very intuitive :) Helps a lot with preboarding and onboarding. And I have to say the data import feature was really comfortable to use - kudos for that!

I’m super interested in hr systems, analytics and I love working with excel. Although, bob’s out-of-the-box dashboards reduces manual excel work I’ve had to do before.

Feel free to connect me in LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaakkoparikka/

Welcome @Jaakko Parikka and CONGRATS on the launch today, how exciting!! 

I know lots of your fellow members are getting ready to launch as well and I’m sure they’re keen to hear your insights - please feel free to give yourself and team a well deserved shout-out in our launch channel here :)
