Bamboo has solved the problem of our organizational documents, HR info, and pay stubs all being provided on one usable platform that also provides security of confidential information.

"Very user friendly with great support when needed"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR has a very friendly user interface whether you are using the website or the mobile app. Having the ability to track where employees clock in/clock out on mobile is a nice feature as well.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I wish the time off feature would let you choose time frames within the day for your time off vs just a number of hours that day.

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

A consistant on-boarding process and a company wide way to easily communicate timeoff.

"Best Decision for Our Company"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love that our employees now have access to information without ever having to email or call someone. It saves both them and I time. Our employees express their happiness with BambooHR continously because they can go to one spot to see their paystubs, PTO balances, benefit enrollments, and more. Before BambooHR we were a spreadsheet driven company. Now we have everything at our fingertips. The reporting functions are also amazing.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The only downside I have seen is the challenge with people who do not like to use technology.

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

I am no longer tracking HR data on spreadsheets and I am using it for Payroll.

"BambooHR does it all"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Bamboo is so user friendly - it's easy for employees to update their information and find everything they need. Reporting is simple

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The only downside is that as a web app, I have to log in multiple times per day. I know it's a security feature, but I would like the option to stay logged in for the day.

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

BambooHR allows me to keep all employee information in 1 place and not worry about double data entry or info being udpated incorrectly.

"Amazing! The best HR tool I have used in over 10years."
What do you like best about BambooHR?

It has a lot of pre built templates for different areas of HR and can also be customised. You can send emails/documents directly from BambooHR. Amazing! I have never experienced hiring and onboarding so easy before now. The PTO administration is superb.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Nothing so far. I love it. But can we have one app for everything? Instead of having a different App for Hiring etc.

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

BamboHR is primarily helping me maintain my core HR data and personnel documents. It also helps me through the hiring and on boarding process for new employees.

"Easy Navigation that creates a smooth workflow"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I personally like the onboarding options in BambooHR. It's very easy to navigate through, include any documents needed and attachments are added very easily. I use BambooHR everyday for my job, and have not had any issues where I've needed to contact customer support, which is a good thing! Customer service for others in my department, has been very easy as well.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

What I do not like is the fact that I cannot upload any videos to share with staff for training and/or "how-to" videos to help navigate through what needs to be done on their end.

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

Nothing currently.

"BambooHR is an ideal solution for our company"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

The reporting is great, whenever I need to compile information I can be certain it will not take long. Bamboo ATS has completely changed our recruitment model. We are much more efficient and effective as a result. It has saved us time and money.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Tracking of learning. The solution could be better.

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

Efficient recuritment tool, we are a small company (under 150) so we never thought that the cost of an ATS, versus the amount of recruitment that goes on would allow for a cost effective solution. We have found that it has worked and has reduced the cost of hiring overall. Reporting is efficient and accurate.

"Lots of great features, simple to use"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like creating reports. Can export to excel and youve got a ready made matrix. Dont need to plug in any numbers yourself!

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Im sure because it is HR based, some of the features I would like it to have are not feasible. However, it is stioll a valuable tool for H&S, I use it every day.

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

Tracking certifications, allowing for task completion to be tracked. I like how easily it works with google forms, I can input all of my competency tests into it and have the results kept in Bamboo

"Best HRIS Software if you have nothing in place"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

It is super easy and intuitive to use and in my experience I get 100% adoption by users after implementing the platform. I have implemented this platform with 5 organizations.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

It has limitations in use but the continued enhancements and APIs with other HR software makes this not a major issue.

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

The ability to do more with less resources. In HR you typically run thin in most organizations but expected to do everything. This platform makes it possible.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

We have been using BambooHR for 5 years and have no plans to leave, however, additional customization on features like performance management and approval workflows would be nice. Also, Canadian Payroll and Benefits would be great additions.

BambooHR provides us with a central location for nearly all of our HR-related items.

"Would recommend for small businesses"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR is a great user experience from the employer and employee perspective. It is seemlesss and simplistic to use and visually very easy to navigate. There are a ton of customizations for PTO policies and the ability to save and send documents/templates is very handy. Also the hiring component is probably the best I've used in terms of how it's all organized, the ability to collaborate with hiring managers, and saving candidate information.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

No complaints. If I had to name anything, maybe having a time keeping feature that integrates with ADP or better reporting around it.

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

Making hiring easier.
