  3. identified Jul 31, 2025, 10:00 AM UTC

    We've identified the source of the current issue, have taken first mitigation steps and are working to fully stabilize the platform. We'll share further updates as we make progress. Thanks again for your patience.

  4. monitoring Jul 31, 2025, 10:26 AM UTC

    We’ve applied mitigations and are now seeing improved performance across the HiBob platform. The issue was caused by an internal background process that became overloaded due to a spike in activity from one or more tenants. This increase triggered a higher frequency of backend operations, which overwhelmed shared system components and led to performance degradation. We’re continuing to monitor closely to ensure full stability. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
