Mentorly + HiBob Integration
Run mentorship programs on the people you manage in Bob: download a people report, import with Mentorly's template, and let them sign in with your identity provider.
How It Works
From HiBob to a running program in three steps
Export
Export the people you want from HiBob: name, work email, department, job title and manager.
Import
Paste the columns into Mentorly's member template (email, name, mentor, role, cohort, tags and your onboarding questions) and import. Mentorly matches on email, so nothing is duplicated. The import writes every system column as it is in the file, blank included, so for a re-import start from Mentorly's member export.
Sign in
Your people sign in with SAML 2.0 from your identity provider, and get their Mentorly invitation when you send it.
Getting your people out of HiBob
Bob's help centre is behind a customer login, so we do not quote a menu path here. Ask your Bob administrator for a people report with name, work email, department, title, site and reports-to; Bob's own documentation shows reports download as CSV or Excel.
Signing in
Mentorly signs people in with SAML 2.0 from your identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and others). Bob's documentation describes Bob as a SAML service provider, meaning it accepts sign-in from your identity provider but does not act as one, so Mentorly sign-in goes through the same identity provider, not through Bob.
About a live connector
Mentorly does not connect to the Bob API today. Bob's API (POST /people/search, with name, email, department, title, site and reports-to) uses a service user ID and token over basic authentication; OAuth 2.0 is for approved partners. A connector that reads your Bob records on a schedule is scoped as a project with your team, not switched on in a settings page.

Use Cases for HiBob Customers
Modern HR Teams
Bob's people report carries site, department and title; put them in the cohort and tags columns of the template and they land in Mentorly in one import.
Culture-Led Companies
Pair people across sites and teams from the same report, and let Mentorly's matching do the sorting.
Growing Mid-Market
When Bob gains people, Mentorly's member export gains the same rows and is imported again; the email column keeps every existing member in place.
