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.

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

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.
