Fractional CHRO reviewing workforce analytics
Advisors · Fractional CHROs

People data that finally connects to business outcomes.

Hobasa is a cross-system intelligence platform that helps organisations identify and resolve hidden operational gaps across Finance and HR initiatives before they impact performance. It transforms disconnected workforce and business data into decision-ready information so you spend less time reporting and more time advising.

The reality of fractional HR advisory

The insight is the value. The reporting is the tax.

Workforce data sits across multiple HR systems. Significant time goes to manually consolidating reports before any advisory work begins. Risks and patterns in attrition, hiring and capacity are often spotted late.

HRISPAYATSLMSOPS
Fragmented workforce data
HRIS, payroll, ATS and ops live in systems that don't talk.
Manual reporting overhead
Pulling, cleaning and reconciling eats the time meant for advisory.
Limited trend visibility
Hiring, attrition and capacity patterns are hard to see across clients.
Compliance & policy gaps
Quiet drift in policy adherence surfaces too late, when it costs.

What our AI does today

AI that connects your systems, cites its sources and is reviewed by people.

No black-box answers. Every finding is traceable to a record in your systems and validated before it reaches a decision-maker.

  • Analysis across systems that don't normally talk

    Reconcile records from accounting, payroll, HR and operational tools into one view.

  • Answers linked back to the source

    Every finding cites the exact record, row or document it came from.

  • Explainable and reviewable outputs

    Each answer shows the inputs, the rule applied and how it was calculated.

  • Fraud, anomaly and compliance detection

    Duplicate payments, unusual patterns and policy breaks flagged against your rules.

  • Human review before important decisions

    Findings are checked by an analyst before they reach an owner, controller or CFO.

What Hobasa surfaces

A deeper analytical layer for every workforce engagement.

Most CHROs start with one or two of these and expand. Each runs on top of the HR systems your clients already use.

'What changed and why' workforce insights

Move from headcount snapshots to causal explanations across hiring, attrition, capacity and cost.

Workforce analytics across systems

Unify HRIS, payroll and operations into one consistent workforce picture, every week.

Capacity vs workload mismatch

Spot where headcount and workload are drifting apart, by team, function or location.

Early warning signals

Burnout, absenteeism, regrettable attrition risk and engagement dips flagged before they escalate.

Policy & compliance monitoring

Track adherence to policies, classifications and statutory rules across every client.

Ongoing cross-client review layer

One consistent review surface across your portfolio, with drill-down into each organization.

Follow-up & improvement tracking

Carry open workforce issues, actions and improvements from one review to the next.

Compliance alerts & notifications

Get notified when a policy, threshold or statutory condition needs attention.

Enhances your stack

A deeper analytical layer, not a replacement for your HR tools or judgement.

Hobasa sits on top of the HR systems your clients already run, connecting them, structuring the data and surfacing what matters, while you keep working in the tools you and your clients know.
