HiBob

HR
Velocity6.3

Modern HR platform for global workforce management

HiBob keeps widening its public API surface across hiring, attendance, and learning.

Current state
HiBob is in a sustained API-expansion phase. The April release opened a brand-new Hiring Public API, extended Attendance with full CRUD plus clock-in / clock-out endpoints, and added a Learning API that lets external content providers feed courses and progress into Bob Learning. May has continued the cadence with extra Hiring search endpoints, Time Off calendar events, and webhook payload cleanups.
Where it's heading
The company is repositioning Bob from a UI-led HRIS into a system-of-record that other tools can program against. Field Level Permissions support in the API, sector-grade clock-in flows for kiosks, and learning catalog ingestion all point at the same destination: HR data and workflows that integrations can lean on without screen-scraping or polling exports. Goals-endpoint rate-limit tightening shows this growth is being paced against tenant stability.
Prediction
Expect the next wave to fill in the remaining product gaps via API — likely Performance, Compensation, and richer Hiring write operations — alongside maturing the FLP-aware permission model into a more uniform pattern across endpoints.

    Time Off API: Access calendar events

    Lets integrations pull company calendar events such as public holidays and closures out of Bob. A small but useful addition that lines up with the broader push to make HR data available outside Bob's own UI.

    Employee data webhooks: table entry events payload updated

    Cleans up table.entry.created and table.entry.updated webhook payloads so row identifier fields only appear when relevant to the table type. A modest consistency fix for integrators relying on event-driven sync.

    Learning API: Add your own learning content

    External learning content providers can now feed course catalogs and learner progress into Bob Learning through the new Learning API. It nudges Bob Learning from a self-contained module toward an extensible LMS surface, in line with the wider open-the-platform pattern.

    Attendance API: new field specialRateEligibleHours

    Exposes a specialRateEligibleHours field on attendance summaries and daily breakdowns so integrations can see hours eligible for premium pay under day-of-week rate policies. A targeted API extension tied to the April attendance feature work.

    Attendance API: Full attendance entries management

    Full create / update / search / delete plus dedicated clock-in and clock-out endpoints land in the Attendance API. This is the change that lets external kiosks and on-site systems use Bob as the actual attendance system of record, not just a reporting target.
