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. 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.
NEEDS REPLACING "Our managers were drowning in HR admin. After working with The Fractional HR Department to implement Bob, we freed up around 20% of their working time and our HR support is now focused on things that actually move the business forward."
Operations Director, UK Digital Marketing Agency
