Modern Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) have steadily evolved from the old back-office system of records to a system of engagement. Intuitive HR tech platforms that all members of an organization -- including HR teams,senior leadership,managers,and individual contributors -- can use to engage and collaborate are mission-critical. Modern companies need technology to not only support the administration side of their HR processes,but also to cultivate positive cultures for all people,whether dispersed,fully remote,or hybrid. This is exactly the value proposition that Hibob offers,and is the reason why the company has achieved triple-digit revenue growth each year from 2017 to 2021 adding more than 200 new mid-sized customers that operate in more than 134 countries with offices spanning North America,EMEA,and Australia.

"We are targeting a massive market that is worth tens of billions of dollars,and Hibob is just beginning its mission to penetrate this opportunity," said Ronni Zehavi,co-founder and CEO of Hibob. "Our vision is that the 'bob' platform will be the last HRIS suite that mid-sized companies will ever need to purchase,and as we continue to listen to our customers,we aim to grow our solutions with them and help propel their businesses forward. With this recent funding,Hibob's plan is to invest significantly in building tools to fit organizations' evolving needs and acquire great technologies to complement our offerings,while also expanding our global presence to reach more companies and their dispersed teams worldwide."

The market has embraced Hibob as HR leaders are increasingly pinpointing viable solutions to address the ongoing workplace challenges of automation,global expansion,and agility. With legacy HR technologies ill-serving the unique needs of fast-growing mid-sized companies,the pandemic and subsequent current workplace environments have forced a fast maturation of this particular segment. Hibob is providing these organizations with one of the most premier modern HR technology solutions available.

"Hibob has created a solution that serves and anticipates the needs of modern,evolving businesses," said Anton Levy,Co-President,Managing Director and Global Head of Technology Investing at General Atlantic. "We have tracked the company for years,and positive customer feedback further validates that Hibob's platform has become a mission-critical component of HR tech stacks. Hibob will mark our sixth investment in an Israel-based company in under two years,signifying our strong conviction in the country's market. We look forward to supporting the business' global growth as it redefines employee engagement and HR technology."

As part of the transaction,Anton Levy will join the Board of Hibob. More information about Hibob can be found at http://www.hibob.com/blog/hibob-raises-150mm-series-c-funding.
