12 Tools That Integrate with Hibob: Categories & Marketplace

Hibob Marketplace lists hundreds of integration partners, organized into categories like recruiting, payroll, compliance, data automation, workforce scheduling, and performance. However, you need to know which partners in each category have documented setup steps and real data flows. A listing card doesn’t tell you what happens once you connect it.

This research-backed guide narrows Hibob's marketplace down to the top 2 tools in each of 6 popular categories. Across the list, you will find what data moves between Bob and the partner, which action in Bob triggers the sync, and the real setup steps pulled from each tool's own documentation.

Overview: 12 Tools That Integrate with Hibob

Recruitment and Talent Acquisition

Hiring and HR data exist in different systems until a candidate is hired, and handoff is where most manual re-entry occurs. The two tools below address this gap in different ways: one screens and ranks candidates with compliance, while the other transfers a hired candidate's details into Bob without retyping their information.

1. Skima AI

Once connected to Hibob, Skima AI scores every candidate the moment they apply, writing a 0 to 100 match score and reason bullets directly onto the candidate's activity log. Its skills detection feature identifies CVs containing falsified skills, AI-generated content, and keyword stuffing. This ensures a high-quality, unbiased shortlist.

Additionally, a "Skima Screened" tag is applied to qualified candidates so recruiters can filter a crowded pipeline down to a working shortlist in seconds.

The integration also runs a shortlist feedback loop: recruiters share a secure, no-login shortlist link, hiring managers approve, skip, or mark a candidate as 'maybe' with optional notes, and that feedback writes straight back into Hibob's activity log for an audit trail. Past qualified candidates are also continuously rescored, which means they resurface automatically instead of sitting forgotten in old requisitions.

What syncs: Candidate ID, name, contact details, resume, and job data pulled from Bob; match score, reason bullets, the Skima Screened tag, shortlist link, and manager feedback written back.

How it triggers: A new candidate created, updated, or moved to a new stage in Bob, or a scheduled rescore against historical candidate records.

How It Connects

1. Create API service credentials with the right permissions in Bob's admin portal
2. Configure webhook subscriptions for candidate creation, updates, and stage changes
3. Map candidate and job fields using Bob's API metadata tools
4. Test scoring on a few pilot requisitions before rolling out further
5. Go live on pilot roles and monitor weekly ROI reports

2. Greenhouse

Greenhouse's connection to Bob handles the hiring process in two ways. When a candidate is marked as Hired, their details go straight to Bob. The Workforce Planning integration lets Bob create new job openings in Greenhouse for customers on that module.

Fields will map automatically if the names match in both systems. Any documents linked to a candidate's Greenhouse profile, like a signed offer letter, will appear in the new hire's confidential documents folder in Bob.

Once the hire notification arrives, the New Hire wizard in Bob opens with the mapped data filled in. This speeds up onboarding by eliminating the need for manual data entry.

What syncs: Candidate name, start date, job title, department, custom fields, and attachments moving from Greenhouse to Bob; new job openings moving from Bob to Greenhouse.

How it triggers: Marking a candidate as Hired in Greenhouse, or creating a job opening inside Bob's Workforce Planning module.

How It Connects

1. Grant the "manage and configure webhooks" permission in Greenhouse
2. Generate the endpoint URL and secret key from Bob's Recruitment Integration settings
3. Create a webhook in Greenhouse's Dev Center named for the Bob integration
4. Set the webhook trigger to "Candidate has been hired" and paste Bob's URL and secret
5. Add matching custom field names in both systems to map any extra data

Payroll and Finance

Payroll and finance rely on data from every HR change, such as raises, terminations, and new hires. These departments require this data immediately, not after a manual export. The two tools below cover different aspects of the problem: one handles the pay cycle, while the other keeps the general ledger updated with headcount costs.

3. ADP Workforce Now

Bob Payroll Hub connects directly to ADP Workforce Now for U.S. and Canadian customers, and Hibob holds Platinum partner status on ADP's own marketplace.

Once it is set up, employee and payroll data move on your actual pay cycle schedule instead of waiting on someone to pull a report and re-upload it.

New hires, terminations, personal or employment changes, time off, and attendance all sync from Bob into ADP automatically. If Pay Details integration is turned on, the data flows the other way too, letting employees view their own pay information from inside Bob without a separate ADP login.

What syncs: New hires, employment and personal detail changes, terminations, time off, and attendance records moving from Bob to ADP; pay details moving from ADP back to Bob.

How it triggers: Your configured pay cycle schedule inside Bob Payroll Hub.

How It Connects

1. Purchase the Bob Connector for ADP Workforce Now on ADP's own marketplace
2. Confirm your account runs on Bob Payroll Hub
3. Map employee and payroll fields between the two systems
4. Set your pay cycle schedule inside Payroll Hub
5. Turn on Pay Details sync if employees should see pay info in Bob

4. NetSuite

The NetSuite integration keeps your ERP's employee records in sync with Bob without finance team members needing to re-enter headcount changes.

When you add new hires in Bob, they automatically create matching users in NetSuite. Updates to employee data in Bob also push through to NetSuite. If someone is terminated in Bob, their status in NetSuite is also updated.

Two settings in NetSuite affect how this sync works. Enabling the Locations feature allows a Bob employee's work site to connect with a NetSuite location. Disabling Auto-Generated Numbers for employees means Bob's ID will be used instead of NetSuite generating its own.

What syncs: New hire records, employee data changes, and termination status moving from Bob into NetSuite.

How it triggers: Creating, updating, or terminating an employee record in Bob.

How It Connects

1. Enable the Locations feature in NetSuite under Company setup tasks
2. Disable Auto-Generated Numbers for employees if you want Bob's IDs to carry over
3. Activate NetSuite from Bob's Marketplace and generate connection credentials
4. Map employee fields between Bob and NetSuite
5. Test the sync on one new hire before letting updates and terminations flow

Compliance

Compliance work in Bob splits into two different jobs: getting employees through required training on schedule, and proving to an auditor that it actually happened. The tools below cover each side without forcing HR to manage either process by hand.

5. EasyLlama

EasyLlama's connection to HiBob is a one-way sync that pulls employee data daily and uses it to keep training assignments current, eliminating manual roster exports.

Once connected, EasyLlama syncs trainees, auto-assigns the right courses based on the employee data it receives, and sends reminder notifications automatically.

The setup includes an authorization step within Bob. Here, an admin chooses whose data EasyLlama can access. They can make decisions based on conditions, names, or company-wide settings. This happens before any employee records enter the training platform.

What syncs: Employee names, contact details, work location, department, manager, and employee type, moving from Bob into EasyLlama.

How it triggers: EasyLlama's daily scheduled sync, plus a new hire import schedule you configure during setup.

How It Connects

1. Connect the Bob integration from EasyLlama's Settings and Integrations page
2. Authorize which employee data Bob shares, by condition, name, or company-wide
3. Select which employee types to import into EasyLlama
4. Choose a schedule for importing new hires and any auto-assigned trainings
5. Kick off the import and turn on daily syncing going forward automatically

6. anecdotes

anecdotes' Compliance OS treats HiBob as a source of audit evidence rather than a system it needs to write back into. Once connected, it automatically pulls artifacts like onboarding records, position changes, and training completion reports. It maps this data to the relevant controls across frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001.

That removes the recurring, manual evidence chase that usually falls on whoever owns compliance. Since the same HR data anecdotes needed for an audit are already sitting in Bob and get pulled automatically instead of being screenshots and emailed around each cycle.

What syncs: Onboarding records, employee position changes, and training completion reports, moving from Bob into anecdotes.

How it triggers: anecdotes' scheduled evidence collection cycle against your connected Bob account.

How It Connects

1. Create a Bob service user under Settings and Integrations
2. Assign the service user to a permission group scoped to the data anecdotes needs
3. Generate the service user's ID and token
4. Enter those credentials into anecdotes' Compliance OS
5. Confirm evidence starts appearing against your mapped controls

Data Automation and Integration

Not every workflow a recruiting or HR team needs fits neatly into a marketplace listing, and that is exactly the gap these two platforms fill. Both sit on top of Bob's API and let a non-developer wire up a workflow that would otherwise need a custom build.

7. Zapier

Zapier's integration to Bob is one-way, built off employee lifecycle events like a new employee being created, activated, inactivated, or reaching a start or termination date. Each of those becomes a trigger you can pair with an action in any of Zapier's thousands of other connected apps, without writing a line of code.

That makes Zapier a good fit for smaller, single-purpose automations, like posting a welcome message somewhere the moment a new hire is activated, that would not justify a dedicated marketplace integration on their own.

What syncs: Employee lifecycle events and the associated employee data available to build a Zap around.

How it triggers: Any of Bob's supported lifecycle events, including new employee creation, activation, inactivation, and start or termination dates.

How It Connects

1. Connect your Bob account from Zapier's app directory or Bob's Marketplace
2. Authorize the connection with your Bob credentials
3. Choose a Bob trigger, such as new employee created
4. Pick the action app and event to pair with that trigger
5. Turn on the Zap to start the automation

8. Workato

Workato connects Bob to more than 1,000 apps using a low-code, recipe-based model. This setup lets IT and business users create workflows triggered by Bob events without waiting for a developer. It supports complex, multi-step automations and includes governance controls that are important when multiple teams rely on the same recipe.

Built for enterprise needs, the integration shines when Bob needs to connect with several systems in a single workflow, rather than just a straightforward point-to-point sync.

What syncs: Employee records and custom trigger events configured inside a given Workato recipe.

How it triggers: A Bob event defined in the recipe, such as an employee record change or lifecycle update.

How It Connects

1. Activate the Bob connector inside Workato's recipe builder
2. Authenticate the connection with Bob service user credentials
3. Choose the Bob trigger event to start the recipe
4. Add the downstream actions across your other connected apps
5. Test the recipe, then turn it on to work automatically

Workforce Management and Productivity

Scheduling and project tools live outside core HR, but both still need to know who is actually employed and where they work. The two tools below hand that context over automatically instead of leaving it to a spreadsheet someone updates by hand.

9. Deputy

Deputy's integration is a one-way, event-based flow. Shift workers are created and updated in Deputy when their status changes in Bob. This way, a scheduling manager always works with the latest headcount. Key fields like employee name, email, work site, and start date transfer automatically.

Since the sync is event-triggered, new hires or site changes show up in Deputy in real-time. This helps scheduling teams avoid assigning shifts to someone who hasn’t started yet.

What syncs: Employee name, email, work site, and start date, moving from Bob into Deputy.

How it triggers: A new employee being created in Bob, or an existing employee's work site changing.

How It Connects

1. Activate the Deputy integration from Bob's Marketplace
2. Authorize the one-way connection between Bob and Deputy
3. Confirm which employee fields are mapped to Deputy
4. Review shift workers as they appear automatically in Deputy
5. Monitor ongoing syncs as new hires and site changes occur

10. Jira

Jira connects to Bob, turning HR events into tickets instead of missed Slack messages. Set up the mapping once, and workflows like employee onboarding or offboarding will automatically create Jira tickets. The relevant fields will already be filled in. This way, IT and facilities see requests immediately, rather than waiting for a recruiter to notify them.

You can fully customise the field mapping between Bob and Jira. This is important since different teams may use different Jira projects for onboarding, offboarding, or equipment requests.

What syncs: Bob workflow event details, such as employee name, start date, and department, mapped onto the corresponding Jira ticket fields.

How it triggers: A workflow event in Bob, such as an employee onboarding or offboarding.

How It Connects

1. Activate the Jira integration from Bob's Marketplace
2. Connect your Jira Cloud account and select the target project
3. Map Bob fields to the corresponding Jira ticket fields
4. Choose which Bob workflows should create a ticket
5. Test on a sample onboarding event before relying on it fully

Performance and Engagement

Performance tools and engagement surveys are only as good as the employee data feeding them, and that data goes stale fast in any company that is hiring, promoting, or losing people regularly. Both tools below solve that by pulling from Bob on a recurring schedule instead of a one-time CSV import.

11. Culture Amp

Culture Amp imports employee data directly from Bob on a nightly basis. This keeps demographics, org hierarchy, and survey eligibility accurate without manual roster uploads before each engagement cycle. The sync is one-way: changes made inside Culture Amp do not flow back to Bob.

If an employee record in Culture Amp is not included in that night's Bob sync, they are automatically marked as a former employee. Admins can select which demographic fields to sync beyond the mandatory ones. This flexibility is important for companies that need detailed reports by department or location.

What syncs: Employee demographics, org hierarchy, and lifecycle status, moving from Bob into Culture Amp.

How it triggers: Culture Amp's nightly scheduled sync, or a manual sync started by an administrator.

How It Connects

1. Create a Bob service user with full employee read and employee fields read scopes
2. Copy the service user's ID and token
3. Paste the credentials into Culture Amp's Data Integrations settings and validate
4. Choose standard or advanced field mapping for the demographics you want synced
5. Kick off a manual sync first, then turn on the daily sync once the data looks right

12. 15Five

15Five's HRIS Connector treats Bob as one of various supported HR systems. It keeps employee records up to date with daily automatic syncs. There’s also a manual sync option for changes made right before a review cycle. Additionally, admins can choose which employees and fields sync and map Bob's groups with 15Five's group structure.

That reliability matters most around review season. A manager handling performance reviews or OKR check-ins based on week-old data ends up asking employees who have already left the company to submit self-reviews.

What syncs: Employee records, group assignments, and the specific fields an admin chooses to sync between Bob and 15Five.

How it triggers: The HRIS Connector's automatic daily sync, or a manual sync triggered by an admin.

How It Connects

1. Enable the HRIS Connector inside 15Five's integration settings
2. Select Bob from the list of supported HR systems
3. Authenticate the connection using Bob service user credentials
4. Choose which employees, fields, and groups should sync
5. Confirm the daily sync schedule, or trigger a manual sync on demand

Behind the Bullhorn Connection System

Every tool on this list connects to HiBob in one of two ways. Identifying which pattern applies helps you understand how real-time the data is.

The first pattern includes integrations Bob built himself, like Greenhouse, Lever, Deputy, and Jira. These come from Bob's Marketplace. You generate an API key and webhook pair, then configure them to trigger on specific events: when a candidate is marked hired, a new employee is created, or a work site changes. Data moves as soon as these events occur.

The second pattern involves partner-built integrations. These are authenticated using a Bob service user, with an ID and token created under Settings and Integrations, not a personal login. Tools like Culture Amp, 15Five, EasyLlama, and anecdotes use this method. Most pull data on a scheduled sync, either nightly or daily, instead of reacting to single events in real time.

3 Ways to Connect

1. API & Webhooks

Bob's own REST API authenticates using service user credentials. It needs an ID and token pair that come with scoped permissions. The API also supports webhooks for real-time event notifications, such as when a new employee is added or a time-off request is submitted.

Marketplace partners created by Bob, like Greenhouse, Lever, Deputy, and Jira, use this webhook layer. It triggers on specific stage or lifecycle events, not by polling for changes.

2. No-Code Automation

Zapier and Workato both sit on top of Bob's API and translate its trigger events, new employee created, activated, or terminated, into a visual builder, so a workflow that would otherwise need a developer gets wired up by an HR or IT admin directly.

3. Unified API Platforms

For companies connecting Bob with multiple HR or payroll systems, unified API platforms like Merge and Apideck make it easy. They authenticate to Bob's service user model just once. Then, they extend that connection to all other supported HRIS. This saves time by eliminating the need for separate integrations for each system.

Summary

2 tools per category is intentional, rather than a lack of options in the HiBob marketplace. HiBob's partner directory includes hundreds of apps for recruiting, payroll, compliance, and productivity. Yet, only those with a clear trigger and sync pattern can be integrated into a proper HR tech stack.

If you’re building the Recruitment and Talent Acquisition layer, Skima AI integration with Hibob provides an explainable match score with compliance. It also adds a manager shortlist loop directly to your existing candidate records, with no new login needed.
