How it works
From HiBob to a live plan in four steps
01
Connect HiBob
A HiBob administrator creates a service user with view-only permissions and enters its ID and token in Basqo. Basqo is also listed in the HiBob Marketplace.
02
The baseline builds itself
Positions, salaries and the organizational structure from HiBob form the baseline. Social charges follow from country and salary bracket.
03
Plan and approve
Finance plans centrally, or budget owners plan their part. Freely configurable approvals decide which new positions and changes enter the plan.
04
Forecast and reconcile
Every HiBob change updates the forecast. Monthly payroll actuals let you compare budget, forecast and actuals, down to the position.

What changes for HR and Finance?
Without Basqo, workforce cost planning usually runs in a spreadsheet next to HiBob. Finance pulls exports, HR answers data requests, and open roles drift away from the approved budget. Parloa planned in Google Sheets linked to HiBob before switching to Basqo.
With Basqo, HiBob data feeds one shared plan. HR and Finance work from the same numbers, and every change in HiBob shows up in the forecast. Basqo is also available in the HiBob Marketplace.
For Finance and FP&A
All cost types per position, including social charges, bonuses and benefits, across entities and currencies, plus variance analysis down to the position, split into FTE-driven and compensation-driven effects.
For HR and People
Fewer data requests from Finance, structured approvals instead of email chains, and more value from the data already maintained in HiBob.
For Recruiting
Basqo also connects to HiBob’s recruiting module and to Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever and many more. Open jobs from the ATS are linked to the approved positions in Basqo, so recruiting stays aligned with the budget. Parloa works this way with HiBob and Greenhouse.
For department heads
Budget owners plan their own teams in Basqo, without Excel skills and without sending files around. At Parloa, more than 80% of managers now build their own budgets.
Good to know
Why use Basqo alongside HiBob’s own workforce planning?
HiBob runs HR processes and holds the people data. Basqo is built for the workforce cost plan that Finance signs off: all cost types including social charges by country, several entities and currencies, monthly payroll actuals for reconciliation, variance analysis down to the position and freely configurable approvals. Costs and FTE then go to SAP, Board, Lucanet or any other system. Because Basqo uses HiBob’s data, the two work together.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which HiBob data does the Basqo integration use?
Basqo uses employees and positions, salaries, future compensation, working hours and FTE, absences and end dates from HiBob. It also uses dimensions like entities, cost centers and departments, and extra fields can be mapped. New hires are imported and matched to their approved planned position.
How often does HiBob data sync, and in which direction?
Daily, and in one direction only. Basqo reads salary, FTE, absence and organizational changes from HiBob every day and never writes data back to HiBob. The forecast updates after each sync.
We already use HiBob’s workforce planning. Why add Basqo?
Basqo builds the workforce cost plan Finance signs off, on top of HiBob’s data. It adds workforce costs with social charges by country, several entities and currencies, monthly payroll actuals and variance analysis down to the position. HiBob stays the system of record.
Can Basqo plan across several entities and currencies?
Yes. Basqo plans workforce costs across multiple entities and currencies. It applies the social charge rate for each position’s country and salary bracket automatically.
What if payroll runs in DATEV or another system?
Payroll actuals from DATEV or another payroll system come into Basqo monthly and are reconciled against the forecast. They are uploaded or entered directly in Basqo.
Does Basqo also connect to Greenhouse or another ATS?
Yes. Basqo connects to HiBob’s recruiting module and to Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Recruitee, Softgarden and many more, and links open jobs to the approved positions in Basqo. Parloa runs Basqo with HiBob and Greenhouse.
