Kibo / For HR

People operations, private by role.

Leave counted in each person's own working calendar, onboarding checklists created the day a hire is added, and leavers' handover and access removal tracked to the day. Everyone asks in plain language; HR keeps control.

1 · What it is

Leave, onboarding and offboarding in one place.

Kibo works on leave requests, allowances, public holidays, new hires and leavers. People ask in plain language; Kibo counts the days, finds the approver and shows the request before filing it.

Records it works on:

  • Leave requests
  • Leave allowances
  • Public holidays
  • New hires
  • Onboarding tasks
  • Leavers
  • Offboarding tasks
2 · What it does

Outcomes, not screens.

Leave is counted in working days from each person's work pattern, country and public holidays, and nobody approves their own leave. A new hire gets every onboarding task with its due date at once. A leaver's handover, equipment and account removal become dated tasks, with IT acting on request.

Policy

Approved once. Enforced every time.

Leave approval is a policy, scoped to the team it concerns: in December, the Logistics team lead approves for year-end cover. It is approved once, versioned and applied to that team and nobody else.

3 · Where it runs

Sovereign by design.

On your own servers, or hosted for you in a region of your choice, with an open-licence model. Your people's records are never sent to a third-party AI provider, and no telemetry is sent to anyone.

4 · What it costs

Predictable cost.

Every employee, manager and request is included in the same annual licence as the rest of the company, with no per-seat, per-token or per-module pricing.

5 · Why trust it

Personal data on a need-to-know basis.

People see their own requests, managers their team, and HR what HR needs; only HR sees leavers. Approvals are enforced by code, nothing is filed without confirmation, and every request is in the audit record.

See it on your own processes.
