HiBob makes an HR platform called Bob for companies of any size, strongest in the UK and US, with an AI layer called Bob Companion and an MCP server that lets external AI tools query workforce data directly.

Key functions

• Bob Companion delivers AI answers and next steps directly within the workflow
• MCP server connects external AI clients such as Claude or ChatGPT with HR data under each signed-in user's permissions (OAuth, in gradual rollout to customers)
• AI features embedded in talent, performance and payroll workflows rather than as a separate layer

Compared with Yuanian C1

• Can store data in the EU; Yuanian C1 states no EU option.
• Headquartered in United Kingdom, Yuanian C1 in China.
• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Yuanian C1 does not.
• Names 5 security certificates, Yuanian C1 1.

Check before buying: Before connecting the MCP server, check whether it is live in your account: HiBob's developer changelog says the current version is in a gradual rollout to customers. It uses OAuth, so each connected AI client acts for the signed-in Bob user and sees only what that user may see; review role permissions before you connect. According to HiBob, customer data is hosted on AWS in Ireland with a backup in Frankfurt. In the United Kingdom, solely automated decisions based on performance data need safeguards such as human review under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
