You can also mirror your HiBob Skills catalogue into SuperPath, and push the certificates your people earn into their HiBob training record. Both are optional and are turned on with the Sync skills and Sync certificates options described below.

The following is needed to configure the HiBob integration:

What actions can the HiBob integration perform?


The HiBob integration can be configured to perform the following actions. Each of these actions can be turned off or on depending how you would like to configure your integration.


Keep your people record in sync

When you update an employee in HiBob it will update the employee details in SuperPath. This includes employee name, any teams (if configured below) and manager. It will also disable employees in SuperPath if they are terminated or disabled in HiBob. The sync runs every 30 minutes


User Creation Options

SuperPath offers 4 options for how to create users when connecting a HRIS platform

  • Manual - In this option users will NOT be created and will have to be created or invited manually. Once added the user records will be kept in sync through updates from Employment Hero
  • Invite Users - In this option users will be invited to the platform when triggered from Employment Hero. Users will only appear in SuperPath once they have accepted their invite. This is the option to use when wanting to use Google or MSFT SSO options
  • Create with Password - In this option the user will be created in SuperPath with a password. The user will not be notified. You can send a welcome email using the Send Welcome button in the People list which will send them their password. Alternatively they can use the forgotten password flow.
  • Create with Magic Link - In this option the user will be created in SuperPath with a magic link. The user will not be notified unless Send Welcome Email is activated. You can also send a welcome email using the Send Welcome button in the People list. This user will be able to access SuperPath using a magic link - https://help.superpath.io/en/article/how-to-login-using-magic-link-1ghozvh/
  • Create with Google - In this option the user will be created in SuperPath and marked to authenticate with Google. The user MUST authenticate to SuperPath with the Google account matching that email. The user will not be notified unless Send Welcome Email is activated. You can also send a welcome email using the Send Welcome button in the People list which will send them their password.
  • Create with Microsoft - In this option the user will be created in SuperPath and marked to authenticate with Microsoft. The user MUST authenticate to SuperPath with the Microsoft account matching that email. The user will not be notified unless Send Welcome Email is activated. You can also send a welcome email using the Send Welcome button in the People list which will send them their password.

Restrict Employee Sync By Sites

It's possible to ONLY sync users from specific sites in HiBob. Enter the sites (separated by comma, no spaces). If left empty all sites will be synced


Add completed learnings to the employee record

When a person completes a learning (learning pathways and learning assignments) the learning will be pushed to the Employees training record in HiBob. Please note you will need to have purchased the training module for HiBob.


Sync skills

Mirror your HiBob Skills catalogue into SuperPath, so you can attach the skills you already maintain in Bob to your learning content instead of re-keying them. You create a report in Bob named exactly Superpath - Skills Catalogue and SuperPath reads it once a day, creating, updating and archiving skills to match. Synced skills are read-only in SuperPath and are managed in Bob. Full setup steps are in "How to Sync Your HiBob Skills Catalogue".


Sync certificates

When a person earns a certificate in SuperPath it will be added to the employee's training record in HiBob, using the certificate's name and the date it was awarded. The certificate PDF is uploaded to the employee's shared documents in Bob and linked from the training record's Doc column. Because HiBob training records have no expiry field, an expiring certificate has its expiry date included in the record's description instead. Deleting the certificate in SuperPath removes the matching training record from HiBob.


Additional actions


You can also perform the additional actions after you have connected HiBob


  • Refresh People and Teams - Sync all employee records from foundU into SuperPath. This process will invite new HiBob employees to SuperPath, update existing users in SuperPath
  • Sync skills now - Mirror your HiBob Skills catalogue into SuperPath immediately, rather than waiting for the daily sync. Requires Sync skills to be turned on
  • Learning Resync - Backfill completed learnings, and earned certificates, that have not yet reached HiBob. Useful straight after turning on Sync certificates, to bring historic certificates across. Running it again is a no-op


How to Connect HiBob


You can connect to HiBob and SuperPath using a secure authentication flow. Please make sure you are an administrator in HiBob.

  2. Click the HiBob and select View Details
  3. Select the User Creation option (see above)
  4. Select welcome email option (if on it will email users when they are created in SuperPath. We recommend to keep this off, and email them when they are assigned their first learning)
  5. Choose whether to sync learning records back into HiBob, and whether to turn on Sync skills and Sync certificates (see the actions above)
  6. If you wish to restrict the sync to only specific sites you can enter the sites. If not, leave empty.
  7. Click Connect Bob and follow instructions to accept and ONLY check the boxes listed below in required app permissions
  8. Once connected you can test your connection.

Reports (needed for Sync skills)

  • View reports


Documents (needed for Sync certificates)

  • Manage documents



Please ensure that you have selected the Lifecycle status of Employed, Hired and Terminated. This will ensure HiBob sends the correct messaged to SuperPath


Note for existing customers: View reports and Manage documents were added when skills and certificate sync were released. If you connected HiBob before then, your app was never granted them, so you need to reconnect the integration once before Sync skills will work. Follow the How to Connect HiBob steps again and accept the requested permissions. Without Manage documents certificates still sync, but the training record's Doc column will be empty.
