HiBob to Any HR App Integration: How to Connect HiBob with Your HR App

When a hiring manager activates a new employee in Bob, their information appears in your payroll app automatically — nobody retypes it. Flexspring connects the HiBob HR platform to any HR app through a direct API-to-API connection, so new hires and employee updates flow from Bob into payroll, into your learning management system and into your ERP, and new hires arriving from your ATS land in Bob the same way. Your team gets fewer payroll corrections, faster onboarding, and an end to double-data entry between HiBob and the rest of your stack.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you, and matches your data field names — including custom fields — in both HiBob and your HR app. There are no files to upload and nothing for your team to maintain. A custom integration goes live in 10-12 weeks. With Flexspring, you only pay for the use case or use cases you need.

How the integration works

1
Scoping. You pick the use cases you need from the list above. Flexspring maps every field between the two systems, including your custom fields and business rules.
2
Direct connection. Flexspring iPaaS connects the two systems to each other over secure APIs. There are no spreadsheets to export, no files to transfer, and no manual steps in the middle.
3
Near real-time sync. When a record changes — a hire, a promotion, an approved time-off request — the change moves across in near real time rather than waiting for an overnight batch.
4
Monitoring and error handling. The integration is monitored continuously, with error handling, visibility into every transaction, and a named support contact. When either app changes their API, Flexspring updates your integration.
5
Ongoing changes. Your integration is future-proofed for ongoing enhancements without re-implementation, and adapts to custom fields, new locations, new systems and business rules.

Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Frequently asked questions

What does HiBob integrate with?

With data integration, new hires and employee updates move from HiBob into your payroll system, your learning management system and your ERP automatically, and new hires from your ATS arrive in Bob the same way. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

How do I connect HiBob to my HR app?

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain. The connection runs over a near real-time API-to-API connection rather than a scheduled file transfer.

What employee information syncs?

With data integration, new hires sync from HiBob, including your custom fields, along with employee updates, and new hires arriving from your ATS. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, equity systems, background checks, and assessments.

How long does the integration take?

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration of the Flexspring connector for HiBob with your HR app goes live in 10-12 weeks, depending on the complexity. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Is our employee data stored anywhere during the transfer?

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Do we need IT or a developer to set this up?

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

Why connect HiBob to your HR app?

With data integration, when a hiring manager activates a new employee in Bob, their information appears in your payroll app automatically — nobody retypes it. Your team gets fewer payroll corrections, faster onboarding, and an end to double-data entry between HiBob and the rest of your stack.

What’s the best way to connect HiBob to your HR app?

The best way to connect HiBob to your HR app depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
