Case Study: Jimdo strengthens remote culture and centralizes HR with HiBob

Supporting a global remote working model

Jimdo, a German software company with 250 employees and offices in Hamburg and Tokyo, wanted to preserve its open, collaborative culture as it shifted from an office-based setup to a fully remote, global working model after the COVID-19 pandemic. The company needed a better way to keep teams connected across time zones and locations, while also managing HR data and documentation more effectively. To support this, Jimdo turned to HiBob and its Bob HR platform.

With HiBob’s Bob, Jimdo centralized employee documentation, reduced manual work for the People team, and moved processes like salaries, absences, and student worker hour tracking out of spreadsheets and into one system. Bob’s directory and club view also helped employees find and connect with colleagues professionally and socially, strengthening community in a remote environment. The result was a more efficient HR operation and a stronger sense of connection across the company, with all HR documentation in one place and fewer manual tasks for the team.
