Ever Gauzy vs HiBob: at a glance
What is Ever Gauzy?
Ever Gauzy adds full payroll and leave management modules, integrates Ever Async workspaces — expanding from project tool to HR suite
v111.42.3 is a substantial release: it integrates tenant-owned Ever Async workspaces into Gauzy, ships a full payroll module (PayrollRun, PayrollItem entities with service layer), a full leave management module (time-off policies, official holidays, balance tracking), a redesigned HR dashboard, and the ability to switch a timesheet's project after creation. The MCP server fix in v111.42.5 makes tool input schemas JSON Schema compatible, enabling MCP tools/list to work correctly.
What is HiBob?
HiBob expands its public API to cover every major HR data domain, including AI-scored candidate matching
HiBob's recent releases are almost exclusively API additions — background check partner integration, employee table endpoints, skills API, time-off calendar events, and employer entity data. The AI CV Matching score stands out: it replaces the previous AI CV Summary with an explainable, recruiter-configurable match score built around structured criteria, making the AI evaluation a first-class part of the hiring API.
Ever Gauzy vs HiBob: editorial side-by-side
Ever Gauzy adds full payroll and leave management modules, integrates Ever Async workspaces — expanding from project tool to HR suite
◆ Current state
v111.42.3 is a substantial release: it integrates tenant-owned Ever Async workspaces into Gauzy, ships a full payroll module (PayrollRun, PayrollItem entities with service layer), a full leave management module (time-off policies, official holidays, balance tracking), a redesigned HR dashboard, and the ability to switch a timesheet's project after creation. The MCP server fix in v111.42.5 makes tool input schemas JSON Schema compatible, enabling MCP tools/list to work correctly.
◆ Where it's heading
Ever Gauzy is systematically completing an HR suite on top of its project management foundation: payroll, leave management, and attendance tracking are now in place. The Ever Async workspace integration hints at a future where Gauzy manages the human side (time, pay, leave) while Ever Async handles real-time collaboration — a division of labor within the ever.co stack. The MCP server fix opens the platform to AI agent orchestration for HR data.
◆ Prediction
The MCP surface combined with the HR data model positions Gauzy for an 'AI HR assistant' feature — querying leave balances, approving timesheets, or generating payroll reports via an AI agent. Expect that surface to be announced once the MCP tool schemas stabilize.
HiBob
6.3HR
HiBob expands its public API to cover every major HR data domain, including AI-scored candidate matching
◆ Current state
HiBob's recent releases are almost exclusively API additions — background check partner integration, employee table endpoints, skills API, time-off calendar events, and employer entity data. The AI CV Matching score stands out: it replaces the previous AI CV Summary with an explainable, recruiter-configurable match score built around structured criteria, making the AI evaluation a first-class part of the hiring API.
◆ Where it's heading
Bob is building toward a composable HR data platform where third-party tools treat Bob as the system of record, pulling and pushing data through a broad, well-documented API. The MCP server OAuth upgrade (prior release) and the partner API for background checks both reinforce the same direction: Bob as the connective layer for the HR tech stack, not just a standalone HR tool.
◆ Prediction
The API surface now covers most HR data domains. The next logical addition is a webhooks or event-streaming layer — integration partners currently need to poll for changes, and push-based notification would enable real-time HR data sync for high-frequency use cases like payroll and benefits.
