When HiBob is the better fit
If your company grows across several countries, needs UK or US payroll, clock-in, SSO and many integrations, and has an HR team to roll it out. PapaHR is made for companies where HR is one person or the manager.
How to switch

- Upload the file to PapaHR — profiles, departments and managers appear by themselves.
- Invite managers: they approve time off and run 1:1s.
