Where they overlap
Talstack and HiBob both start from Core HR. Each keeps employee records, documents and time off in one place, with workflows for onboarding and offboarding and reports you can build yourself. Both also run performance reviews, goals and feedback, and both work on mobile.
Where Talstack goes further
Learning with courses included
Talstack includes a learning management system with nearly 400 expert-led courses from experienced professionals, plus the courses you build yourself. Reviews show where people need to grow, and managers can assign a course or learning path straight away. In HiBob, learning is an optional module.
A price you can see
Talstack publishes one price per employee with every module included, billed annually. HiBob does not publish its prices and quotes each company on headcount and the modules it chooses.
Built for local requirements
Talstack's employee records include statutory fields such as NIN, TIN, pension and HMO, and public holiday calendars by region, so Time Off counts leave correctly.
When HiBob might fit
If you run payroll in the UK or US and want it inside your HR system, HiBob offers that. For organisations that want Core HR, performance and a full course library in one platform, with a price they can see upfront, Talstack is the stronger choice.
Switching from HiBob
Our team helps you bring your data across for every part of the platform, from employee records and documents to time off balances, review templates and goals, and helps you roll Talstack out to managers and employees.
