See How to Seamlessly Manage Employee Offboarding and Keep Access Secure|Nov 21, 2025
As part of the Phase 6.1 release, HiBob integration with AD, Azure AD, and Google Workspace is now supported in Hire2Retire to automate workforce lifecycle management.
Stress is often experienced by HR and IT teams when new employees are being set up. Accounts must be created, the right permissions assigned, and access secured, frequently done manually. Delays and frustration can be caused for new hires when the tools required are not ready on their first day. Meanwhile, repetitive account updates are handled by IT staff, leaving little time for higher-value projects.
Mistakes can occur, access may be delayed, and security gaps can emerge when these processes are performed manually. Studies have shown that nearly 25% of IT helpdesk tickets are tied to identity and access issues, and mismanaged accounts contribute to 60–70% of data breaches. Productivity is lost when access is delayed, with Gartner estimating up to $400 per employee per day. For large organizations, millions of dollars can be wasted, and compliance risks can be increased.
With the Phase 6.1 release, businesses worldwide can benefit from Hire2Retire’s enhanced automation. For years, organizations have relied on Hire2Retire’s seamless HR to Active Directory (AD) integrations to streamline operations. Now, pending employees in HiBob can be provisioned into AD, Azure AD, or Google Workspace before their first day. This ensures that new hires are ready to work immediately, while manual effort for IT teams is reduced.
A smooth transition is provided from pre-boarding in HiBob to ongoing updates in HiBob HR. Employee data is maintained accurately across all systems through scheduled extracts. With this release, the full employee lifecycle from pre-boarding to onboarding, role changes, and offboarding is supported, strengthening workforce lifecycle management.
The addition of HiBob integration support adds to a lineup of over 18 leading HCM systems with built-in integration support, including ADP, Workday, and SAP SuccessFactors. This ensures that no matter what HR system your organization uses, Hire2Retire can solve your employee lifecycle management processes.

A new hire’s first day can be experienced without interruptions. Email accounts, system access, and applications are prepared beforehand. No panicked calls to IT are required, no chasing approvals, and everything functions smoothly from the start. This is achieved when HiBob integration is in place.
HR teams are relieved from repeated verification tasks, and IT staff can focus on strategic projects rather than repeating the same setup steps. Changes in roles, employee movement across teams, or exits are automatically updated in all systems. Access is maintained correctly, and productivity and security are preserved.
To create an integration between HiBob and AD, Azure AD, and/or Google Workspace using Hire2Retire, all you need to do is enter the connector key and either set up an API-based integration or use a traditional file extract method.
Then, mapping rules for employee data extracts from HiBob are defined, preferences for handling lifecycle events like onboarding, terminations, and role changes are set, and group membership preferences are configured.
Once this setup is complete, Hire2Retire automatically syncs employee profiles between HiBob and AD, Azure AD, and/or Google Workspace. Profiles are kept updated, current, and organized, with the correct system access applied on a “need-to-know basis” thanks to Hire2Retire’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). All of this occurs in near-real time with automatic error monitoring, detailed event processing feedback, and 24/7 support, allowing HR and IT teams to focus on high-value tasks rather than manual profile management.
The HiBob → AD workflow can be run alongside other HR workflows. Future updates, role changes, and terminations are handled automatically once an employee’s status changes. This seamless process ensures that new hires are pre-boarded and onboarded smoothly, while employee terminations are managed promptly and with care.
