"BambooHR streamlined nearly all of our processes!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like the user-friendly interface. BambooHR has everything clearly laid out, at the click of a button. I love that everything I need is all in one place, and is very easy to find! It has been especially helpful in our hiring process. All those involved in hiring can see what step we are at, what has happened and what needs to happen next. Also, if there is a feature we are looking for and is not available in BambooHR, the customer service team is super responsive and open to adding new features.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I honestly cannot think of something I dislike about BambooHR! There are features I might like to see added, but I know that the BambooHR team is constantly making improvements. We are so much better off now that we use BambooHR!

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

BambooHR has solved many of our administrative problems, from something as simple as tracking vacation time, to the greater impact processes like tracking applicants.

Bamboo is super easy to use. Navigation is great.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There are some gaps in re-onboarding employees who previously worked at my company, but other than that I have no complaints!

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are mainly using it as an employee database. All employee records are stored here. It's great for keeping track of skill sets and experience. I use the reporting features constantly.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

I appreciate the manner in which bamboo provides me with an overview of my remaining days of leave, a comprehensive organizational hierarchy, and pertinent work-related information for my awareness.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

It can be rather challenging to determine who is currently absent from the office in the event of synchronization with Slack.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

The present application aims to address the issue of workers' perception of the organization in its entirety in order to ensure comprehensive visibility.

"Simple, Easy to Use & A Game Changer"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR is very easy to configure and they have an excellent onboarding process for new users. Makes it simple and quick. Excellent supporting video content and support when needed and the opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions on configuration. Excellent price point as well.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Functionality is inconsistent across the platform. In some areas you can choose deadline dates or ranges and in others the choice is fixed to a static 1 or 2 month before etc. It feels like UAT was not always done with a SME as anyone in HR could advise this functionality would be a challenge.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowed us to get rid of excel, have all employee data in 1 spot and significant lift using the ATS. Seamless and easy job posting to hire. Performance Management also allows us better sharing and functionality than we had before.

"User Friendly and Simple"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like that it is very straightforward, and they always have ongoing updates! I appreciate the chat support module. They are always nice when I get stuck with a question.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I wish Bamboo had more integrations with other apps or websites to automate certain processes. I also think that their ATS portion could be improved in the future.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

The onboarding is great! We used to do it manually, and the payroll and the employee info being in one system avoids causing mistakes when running payroll. I no longer worry weekly.

"Well designed with organised information & tools"

How quick you can complete the tax declaration & upload supporting documents

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

It should have some integrations such as with UIDAI for ID verifications & bank account verification to avoid any mistakes before hand.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Capturing & sharing information with organisation, being able to edit/update any information such as address, bank details etc without any hassle & additional approvals.

"BambooHR Has Made Our Company More Efficient in Many Ways!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR has allowed us to streamline our HR information and process by having everything in one place and digital! The app/website is very easy to use for administrators and team members alike! Using and tracking PTO days has never been easier and more accurate. Team members now have an easy place to look to see their benefits, how many PTO days they have etc.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There really isn't anything that I can say I dislike. Everything has been working great, it has streamlined our HR processes and made things much easier for our team members, it's a win win!

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is solving an organization problem along with bringing us into the 21st century with digital HR tracking and implementing all in one place. The benefit is the streamlined process along with the accuracy of the information being shared and just having so much information at the tip of your fingers vs having to dig through tons of files.

"Great platform for all things HR"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR allowed my company to consolidate a number of tools into one platform that can scale as our company grows.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

We had to consolidate a few platforms on to BambooHR, so the onboarding process took a little while. Well worth it though.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

BambooHR is a great platform to centralize HR activities.

"Great HR Management tool: User friendly & evoloving"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

All areas og HR Management covered - user freindly and constantly evolving, new features and functions based on the customer feedback appear regularly. We also appreciate the customer friendly pricing policy and the excellent customer support - very quick and efficient!

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The time-tracking and payroll functions do not meet the local legal requirements for a seamless integration to have a full- scope product. Maybe in the future - would be great!

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

The recruiting tool is great and really helpful, it helps to quickly advance in the recruitment process and that is great for the recruiting service and the candidates!

The learning curve was a bit challenging but with their support team made it easier because of all the support offered.

"BambooHR has made our HR operations run so much smoother saving us valuable time."
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Easy to use! So intuitive and has lots of great learning tools. The Performance feature and reports are also a favourite.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I would love to be able to exclude a group of people from the Employee Satisfaction survey (Our Board members have a profile but are not employees).

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

BambooHR solved for us application tracking, particularly how long someone stays in the queue. It also gave us more effective and efficient performance management.

"HR assistance"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

The project time tracking and all the reports allow us to see each department's growth and the opportunities available to help retain employees.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Some of the permissions of adding to other users is not quite what I am needing. Example: I have a book keeper that I need to have access to a few reports that I use, however I cannot give them the exact report I use.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Onboarding is a breeze, and its nice that all of the employee's information is right there for them and me. I also like the additon of benefits tracking.

"Its been amazing! Love the new improvements. Some of my recommendations have been considered."
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Electronic offers, onboarding process through the system and offboarding process. Import's process works smoothly. Flexibility on configuration and that we can create a process in this system that suits our needs.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The recent updates have had issues, but I appreciated that they were resolved as quickly as they were. There are some improvements to be considered on the reports.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

One central place that all roles in our organisation can access their staff details and act as they need to. We were not able to give restricted access to our Business manager's that we could use a one source of truth for staff information. Really helpful when Managers need to do salary reviews.

"Great All-In-One Package!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love the ease of use, the fact that everything is in one place, it has an open-source API that integrates with other software, it's very affordable, and they provide excellent customer service.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There are some limitations on the configuration. However, they have a way for you to make recommendations to improve the software, and judging by the upgrades, they truly listen to the feedback from their customers.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had no HRIS when I started my job. I checked out several vendors and Bamboo was the cleanest, most affordable option. I can now report on employee data and gain insight to things like turnover, employee satisfaction, anniversaries, etc. quickly and easily. The applicant tracking system is also great. They have an integration with major recruiting sites like Indeed so when an applicant applies to indeed, it filters straight to our platform and all candidates are in a single location. It makes tracking our candidates, communicating, and onboarding them a breeze!

"One word - streamlining!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR is like a "home base" for all things HR, Benefits, and Payroll. We utilize every Add-On that BambooHR offers and are learning how it can be better used daily. It's not overstating to say that BambooHR is my favorite HRIS I've ever used.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

If you assign a Signature Document to someone and it happens to be the wrong person, there is no way to reassign the document without canceling and starting over.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to very recently, we were using an outside portal for benefits administration which involved many different logins. Now that benefits administration is available within BambooHR, everything is in one place. I am also looking forward to ACA filing and establishing Carrier connections within the platform.

"BambooHR elevated the way we do business saving us time and money!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

My small business has benefited dramatically from BambooHR. We are now organized at a level that I didn't think possible. It pays for itself and has elevated the employee experience, helping to increase retention.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I was told to switch to TRAX to have integrated payroll. I was happy with ADP and missed their more advanced services. It wasn't a deal breaker, but I would have preferred not to make the switch.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

BambooHR has elevated our hiring and onboarding process and helped us to attract and retain top talent. It also has brought automation to employee management, helping to ensure compliance with all legal requirements. It also offers a central location for documentation, onboarding, off-boarding, time tracking, integrated payroll, goal management, employee feedback, performance tracking, and more. It has saved my management team countless hours and allowed them to focus on managing the business instead of dealing with the employee paperwork.
