HiBob keeps widening its public API, now with bulk reads of custom employee tables

hr-techpublic-apipartner-marketplaceemployee-dataoauthpayroll
◆Current state
HiBob's changelog since September is a run of partner-facing and integrator APIs: background checks and assessments inside Bob Hiring, an Applicant API feeding Pending Hires, a Retirement Partners API on US Payroll, and steady Employee data API coverage. The latest addition lets integrations read one custom table for many employees in a single paginated call instead of looping per employee.
◆Where it's heading
The Employee data API is being filled in table by table: CRUD for built-in tables in August, schema metadata in early November, and now bulk reads for custom tables. Alongside the Marketplace OAuth partner APIs, the direction is making Bob the system other HR tools read from and write into without workarounds.
◆Prediction
Bulk endpoints are likely to spread to the remaining per-employee reads or to writes on custom tables, since the new endpoint explicitly excludes out-of-the-box tables and write paths.

    Employee data API: bulk read for custom tables

    A new Employee data API endpoint returns one custom table's entries for all or selected employees in a paginated call, replacing the one-employee-at-a-time loop. It continues the steady fill-in of Employee data API coverage after last week's table metadata endpoints.

    Goals API: dueDate added to key results

    Key results in the Goals API gain an optional due date that defaults to the goal's. A small, additive field.

    Attendance Projects API: supports project owners

    The Attendance Projects API can now set and read project owners by employee ID when Project Overview is enabled. Integrations can sync project ownership without manual UI work, though the owner field cannot be used as a search filter and an update replaces the full owner list.

    Employee data API: Metadata for out-of-the-box employee tables

    Two new Employee data API endpoints return the schema of Bob's built-in employee tables, including company-added custom columns and whether a table is effective-dated. Integrators can now discover table structure programmatically instead of hard-coding it; the change is additive and backward compatible.

    Bob Hiring new Assessments API for Marketplace partners

    Assessment providers can now plug into Bob Hiring: recruiters order tests, and partners push status, scores and verdicts back. The second hiring step opened to partners after background checks.

    Employee data Webhooks: Immediate access revocation

    A new webhook fires as soon as a termination flow revokes access immediately, rather than waiting for the effective date. Security and identity integrations can now act on offboarding the moment it happens.
