NexbildHR at Web Summit Lisbon 2026: AI-Native HR Software for Growing Teams

Community & Events

Nov 02,2026

By admin

Nexbild is bringing NexbildHR, our AI-powered HR software, to Web Summit Lisbon from 9 to 12 November 2026. Web Summit draws more than 70,000 attendees every November, including founders, investors and operators. Many of them run fast-growing teams where hiring, onboarding and people admin are starting to break. That is the problem NexbildHR was built to solve.

In this guide, you will find why growing companies need AI HR software, what NexbildHR does, what you will see in the live demo, and how to book your slot.

What is NexbildHR?

NexbildHR is an AI-native HR platform that runs payroll, PTO, and people operations from a single conversation. It automates the repetitive side of HR, so your team can spend its time on people instead of paperwork.

NexbildHR is part of the Nexbild ecosystem, alongside NexMap and Nexbild Construction Cloud, and it follows the same principle as everything we build: technology that moves business.

What NexbildHR automates

As HR automation software, NexbildHR covers the employee lifecycle:

AI-assisted hiring: Draft job posts, screen and shortlist candidates, and schedule interviews without the back-and-forth emails.
Employee onboarding: An accepted offer triggers checklists, documents, e-signatures, and first-week tasks automatically, so every hire gets the same strong start.
Payroll, attendance and PTO: Employees request leave in self-service, approvals follow your rules, and balances update in real time.
AI HR assistant: Employees get instant answers to policy questions from your own handbook at any hour.
HR analytics: Live dashboards for headcount, turnover, and absence turn people data into decisions.

Many off-the-shelf HR tools make you change your processes to fit the software. NexbildHR is configurable to your approval chains, policies and team structure, and it connects with the tools you already use.

Why growing companies need AI HR software

HR work grows faster than HR teams do. Every new hire adds contracts, approvals, onboarding tasks, and a steady stream of policy questions. In many small and mid-sized businesses, all of it still lives in spreadsheets, inboxes, and chat threads.

The research shows what that costs:

Challenge	What the research says	Source
Hiring is expensive.	Average cost per hire is roughly $4,700, before lost productivity.	SHRM benchmarking
Onboarding is weak.	Only 12% of employees strongly agree their organisation onboards well.	Gallup
Good onboarding pays off.	Strong onboarding is linked to 82% better new-hire retention and 70%+ higher productivity.	Brandon Hall Group
Engagement is low.	About 21% of employees worldwide were engaged at work in 2024.	Gallup, State of the Global Workplace
Admin eats the week.	Knowledge workers spend around 60% of their time on “work about work”.	Asana, Anatomy of Work

AI is the obvious answer. McKinsey estimates that generative AI, combined with other technologies, could automate activities that absorb 60–70% of employees’ time today. Microsoft’s Work Trend Index found that 75% of knowledge workers already use AI at work.

The question is no longer whether HR should use AI. It is whether your HR tools were built for it.

What you will see in the NexbildHR demo

Our booth demo walks through real HR workflows in real time, not slides. In a few minutes, you will see:

A new hire moving from a signed offer to fully onboarded, with every task triggered automatically.
A leave request submitted, routed, and approved in seconds.
The AI HR assistant answering a policy question straight from a company handbook.
A live dashboard showing headcount, turnover and absence at a glance.

Bring your toughest HR workflow. We will sketch how NexbildHR would automate it on the spot. You will be talking with the people who build the product, not only the people who sell it.

Who should visit the NexbildHR booth?

Founders and business owners who need HR software for small businesses and are running HR without a dedicated team.
HR and people-ops leaders who want to cut admin and spend more time on hiring, culture and retention.
Operations and finance leaders who need clean, reliable people data for planning and payroll.
Partners, resellers and investors interested in AI HR software and the wider Nexbild ecosystem.

You do not need a finished plan or a technical brief. A challenge, an idea or a question is a great place to start.
