HiBob integration

Add the assessment + intelligence layer to your Bob

skaills plugs into Bob via its official REST API. No migration, no HRIS replacement. Start getting rigorous assessments, growth plans, and transformation plans on top of the data already in Bob.

Three ways to integrate

Pick the depth that fits your needs — start light, grow when ready.

Outbound — skaills enriches Bob

Planned

skaills pushes results into Bob as custom fields or documents on the employee/candidate record. Examples: candidate completes a skaills evaluation → score and profile show up as a custom field in Bob Hiring. Employee completes a Growth Plan → summary appended to their profile. Org AI-Readiness diagnostic → exportable report for the Bob dashboard.

~2 weeks. Bob's API is clean and the first connector stands up fast.

Bidirectional — Bob drives, skaills assesses

Planned

Bob is the system of record; skaills plugs in as the assessment + intelligence engine. Examples: Bob Hiring opens a position → webhook to skaills → we generate an evaluation link → candidate completes → score flows back to the record. Manager flags an employee in a Performance cycle → we run AI-Readiness and a Growth Plan → results flow back to Bob as custom fields. Bob survey closes → we run correlation with skaills climate → consolidated report.

~5-7 weeks. Bob webhooks + custom-field mapping + SSO if applicable.

HiBob Marketplace — skaills as a partner

Roadmap

Published in the HiBob Marketplace as a certified integration. One-click install from any Bob customer's admin console. Category: Talent Intelligence / Assessment.

4-5 months including HiBob partner certification and security review.

What this looks like in practice

Concrete flows triggered by events in HiBob.

Trigger in HiBob	What skaills does	What flows back to HiBob
Candidate applies to a position posted in Bob Hiring	skaills generates a personalized evaluation link and sends it to the candidate	Score + competency profile + recommendation appear as a custom field on the candidate record in Bob Hiring
Employee finishes a Bob review cycle (performance + 360)	skaills runs competency evaluation + AI-Readiness + Growth Plan + Career Path	Plan summary, suggested paths, and learning recommendations appear as custom fields on the Bob profile
Bob engagement / pulse survey closes	skaills correlates with multi-dimensional climate survey and generates a prioritized action plan	Consolidated report delivered to the HR sponsor; engagement signal appears as a metric linked to the Bob dashboard
CHRO launches a 12-24 month transformation initiative	skaills generates an Org Transformation Plan with aggregated Bob data (structure, comp, surveys, attrition)	CHRO-grade roadmap with capability heatmap, transformation tracks, and 30/90/180/365 KPIs delivered as a skaills dashboard

Technical architecture

The integration uses Bob's official REST API. Authentication via a service-user token generated in your Bob tenant (scope limited to the necessary endpoints). Bob webhooks (in bidirectional mode) land at a dedicated skaills Cloud Function (`hibobWebhook`) with signature verification. skaills never stores the token outside Google Secret Manager. All skaills-side logic is serverless — no infrastructure for your team to run. Data in transit via HTTPS (TLS 1.2+) and at rest encrypted.

Implementation timeline

Week 1

Kickoff and scope

Weeks 2-3

Technical setup

Week 4

Controlled pilot

Week 5

Rollout and handoff

Week 1

Kickoff and scope

Define which flows are in scope (Hiring, Performance, surveys, transformation), what data travels, identify HR sponsor, customer-side Bob technical owner, and skaills team.

Deliverable:Signed scope document

Weeks 2-3

Technical setup

Generate Bob service-user token, configure custom fields where skaills outputs will appear, configure webhooks if bidirectional, first E2E test with a synthetic candidate/employee.

Deliverable:E2E test passing with synthetic data

Week 4

Controlled pilot

Activate with a real team (Hiring or Performance), 5-15 real people complete the flow. Monitor completion, latency, score quality, manager and HR satisfaction.

Deliverable:Pilot report with real metrics

Week 5

Rollout and handoff

Roll out to the rest of the organization by team or BU. Internal documentation for HR and IT. Handoff session. Ongoing support at the agreed cadence (typically monthly).

Deliverable:Integration in production + runbook delivered

For global customers with multi-country Bob tenants, add 1-2 weeks for data-residency rules. For HiBob Marketplace listing, add ~4 additional months for certification.

Security & compliance

skaills operates under least-privilege principles. The Bob service-user token has only the necessary scopes. Data in transit via HTTPS (TLS 1.2+); data at rest encrypted (Firestore native + Cloud Storage at-rest). For European customers, we configure the skaills tenant region to europe-west to honor GDPR + data residency. Right-to-erasure and portability supported. SOC 2 posture inherited from Firebase/GCP; direct SOC 2 Type II certification on the roadmap.
