Vibe HCM At A Glance
Product Overview
Vibe HCM is an integrated HR suite that combines different functions, such as onboarding, HRMS, talent management, and social collaboration. As it is offered only as a SaaS, companies will benefit from not having to purchase additional hardware or burden their IT departments with maintaining the software. Vibe HCM is also personalized toward a specific company’s needs.
Below is Vibe HCM’s core products (we’ve discussed them in more detail in our Features section):
- Onboarding
- HRMS
- Talent
- Social
- Insight
- HR Service
Vibe HCM is accessible from any device with an Internet connection, including mobile devices. There is also a Vibe HCM app for iOS and Android so employees and managers can access its features from their smartphones (such as pay stubs, communities, etc).
