Workleap Pingboard

What Workleap Pingboard does

Workleap Pingboard is the B2B SaaS platform within Workleap's HR technology portfolio that delivers an AI-powered manager agent for enterprise and mid-market organizations. Originally founded in 2013 as Pingboard—an organizational chart and employee directory solution—the company was acquired by Workleap in 2023 and subsequently expanded its scope to include AI-driven management workflow automation. The core product is the Workleap Manager Agent, which centralizes people data from HRIS systems (Workday, BambooHR, UKG Pro, HiBob) and productivity tools (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Jira) to proactively handle 1:1 meeting preparation, performance review drafting, compensation benchmarking, engagement surveys, and retention risk identification for HR leaders and people managers.

The underlying technology stack combines natural language generation, predictive analytics, and recommendation engines, leveraging third-party large language models (ChatGPT, Claude) for text-based agent workflows. The platform's people intelligence layer continuously analyzes structured HR data—engagement scores, performance metrics, compensation data, and retention signals—to build an always-on insight capability. The company has expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of Barley in 2025, adding further HR technology capabilities to the suite.

Workleap Pingboard operates on a subscription SaaS model with annual contract terms and custom enterprise pricing. Go-to-market is executed through direct enterprise field sales and inside sales motions targeting HR leaders and people teams, with no public pricing or self-serve channel. The company claims 70,000+ leaders worldwide as users, with named customers spanning entertainment, technology, consulting, energy, and real estate verticals. Leadership includes CEO Laith Dahiyat, Founder/Chairman Bill Boebel, and Director-level roles in product and growth.
