## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Mid-market and enterprise companies (HiBob's own site segments customers from Startup through Enterprise) that want a single people platform instead of separate HR, hiring, and payroll point solutions.
- **What you get**: Core HR as the system of record, onboarding workflows, time-off tracking, a built-in applicant tracking system, performance reviews with 360-degree feedback and calibration, a mobile app, and native payroll for the US and UK, with a Payroll Hub connecting third-party providers for other countries.
- **How it works**: Every customer starts on Core, the HRIS foundation, and layers on Talent (Hiring, Talent Management, Learning), Payroll & Benefits, and Planning & Compensation suites as needed; pricing is a custom per-employee quote from sales, and a REST API with OAuth-based partner integrations connects Bob to other systems.
