HR that actually runs.
Bob, properly implemented.
“Get a modern HR system and the expert support to make it work - without a full-time HR team on your payroll.”
Most small businesses buying Bob have neither the HR expertise nor the internal capacity to implement it well and keep it working. Without that, the system sits underused and the ROI never materialises.
For businesses employing up to 100 people, we change that.
What we do together
Implementation
We configure Bob to reflect your real people processes — not a generic template. Clean data migration, sensible workflows, and a go-live that does not disrupt your team.
Adoption
We train your managers and run your team launch, so people actually use the system. No ghost onboarding. No staff ignoring the tool.
Ongoing HR
As your retained HR partner, we handle the day-to-day HR behind the system, keep Bob configured as your business evolves, and stay across new HiBob developments so you always get the most from your investment.

How it works
Readiness Audit
We review your current HR setup and identify what needs fixing before go-live
Configure & Migrate
Bob is built around your actual policies, workflows, and team structure
Launch & Train
Managers and staff are onboarded with confidence — not left to figure it out
Optimise & Run
We review at 60 days and continue as your HR partner as you scale
What you get
Less admin time — managers self-serve in Bob instead of chasing HR
Audit-ready records — GDPR-compliant, documented, and always accessible
Consistent onboarding — every new starter gets the same experience
Lower HR cost as you scale — the system does the work, not the headcount
What our clients say
“The team were a huge help in bringing all the agency HR requirements up to date. Quickly, efficiently, with current thinking. No task was too onerous. It is wonderful to have their professional advice at the end of the phone.”
Sarah Street, Founder of Street & Co
"If you're thinking about hiring an in-house HR Manager, contact The Fractional HR Department before you do. You might find they provide a better approach; it certainly has been for us."
Charlie Raincock, Joint MD of Performance Communications
“The Fractional HR Department's big business background allowed us to evolve some best practices, and form disciplines that fits with our agency culture. We’re not the finished product yet, and we’re not the easiest client - but it gives us confidence that we can tap into the team's skills when we need it.”
