HiBob + Bruin

Source

Ingest HiBob data into your warehouse with incremental loading, quality checks, and full lineage. Defined in YAML, version-controlled in Git.

For business teams

What you get

People analytics beyond HR tools
Join HiBob data with finance and project data. See fully-loaded team cost, hiring ROI, and attrition trends.
Headcount planning with real data
Combine HiBob org data with budget and project data. Plan headcount based on actual numbers, not estimates.
Compliance-ready data
Quality checks validate that required fields are present, records are consistent, and org hierarchy is valid.
Faster reporting cycles
HiBob data syncs automatically. HR and finance get fresh data without waiting for someone to pull a report.

For data & engineering teams

How it works

Automatic schema handling
Bruin detects HiBob schema changes and handles them automatically. No manual migration scripts.
YAML-defined, Git-versioned
Your HiBob pipeline is a YAML file. Review in PRs, deploy with CI/CD, roll back with git revert.
Hierarchy validation
Custom SQL checks validate manager-employee relationships and catch orphaned records in HiBob org data.
Incremental sync
Only sync new and changed HiBob records. Full org structure stays in sync without re-processing everything.

Before you start

API key from HiBob integrations settings

Service user configured in HiBob

Step 1

Add your HiBob connection

Connect using API key and service user. Add this to your Bruin environment file — credentials are stored securely and referenced by name in your pipeline YAML.

Parameters

api_keyAPI key from HiBob integrations settings
service_userService user ID for API access

connections:
  hibob:
    type: hibob
    uri: "hibob://?api_key=<api-key>&service_user=<user>"

Step 2

Create your pipeline

Define a YAML asset that tells Bruin what to pull from HiBob and where to land it. This file lives in your Git repo — reviewable, version-controlled, and deployable with CI/CD.

Available tables

employeestime_offdocumentspayrolllifecycle

name: raw.hibob_employees
type: ingestr

parameters:
  source_connection: hibob
  source_table: 'employees'
  destination: bigquery

Step 3

Add quality checks

Add column-level and custom SQL checks to your HiBob data. If a check fails, the pipeline stops — bad data never reaches downstream models or dashboards.

Validate manager-employee hierarchy is valid

Catch employees with null departments

Ensure employee IDs are unique across syncs

columns:
  - name: employee_id
    checks:
      - name: not_null
      - name: unique
  - name: status
    checks:
      - name: accepted_values
        value: ['active', 'inactive', 'terminated', 'on_leave']

custom_checks:
  - name: valid manager hierarchy
    query: |
      SELECT COUNT(*) = 0
      FROM raw.hibob_employees
      WHERE manager_id IS NOT NULL
        AND manager_id NOT IN (SELECT employee_id FROM raw.hibob_employees)

Step 4

Run it

One command. Bruin connects to HiBob, pulls data incrementally, runs your quality checks, and lands clean data in your warehouse. If a check fails, the pipeline stops — bad data never reaches downstream.

Backfill historical data with --start-date

Schedule with cron or trigger from CI/CD

Full lineage from HiBob to your dashboards

$ bruin run .
