"Organize our internal HR very well."
What do you like best about BambooHR?

We like the payroll management offered by this software. The platform clearly organizes employee databases, and allows monitoring of their absences, life cycles, and compensation. We like that it is easy to configure our self-service portal, and that the implementation of onboarding campaigns take a short time.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

BambooHR does not evaluate curricular summaries, does not configure payrolls internally, and does not allow to add comments in 360 degrees to the documents. In addition, the platform greatly limits the level of accessibility that can be achieved by attaching employees to the software.

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

With BambooHR we have managed to track high-quality candidates whose information we can upload to the cloud without any difficulty. It is excellent for the management of electronic signatures, and to track the work of each employee, so that it becomes quick to review their performance within the company. It also served to allow us to leave aside the management of spreadsheets in our human resources administration.

The web-based interface makes it simple to see your time off equalizations and calendar days off. It has some cool social coordination as well.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There's not all that a lot to detest by any means. I really can't consider anything other than I wish there was the capacity to transfer preparing recordings and required culmination dates so we could give our representatives a chance to do preparing alone time inside a specific time allotment.

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

Capacity to have a holding nothing back 1 administration and having the option to expel some other obsolete administrations. Onboarding, reports, representative self-administration, work posting, off-boarding, and so forth. Center HR, Performance Management, and Workforce Management. Making demands for downtime, following representative information.

"Interesting portal for managing HR-related data"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

As an employee, the most interesting part of Bamboo is that it hosts data that answers almost every question that I would ask Human Resources personnel. How many paid time off days have I accrued? When does the next pay period start? What are my specific job functions again? Bamboo segments all of these important data points into sections. As an employee, I can just log in, search the sections for information about a topic, and find my answer.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

This may be more of a decision made by our CFO, but our Bamboo instance does not contain data about paychecks. We have to use a separate software to get information about our paycheck, see pay stubs, and get W-2s. It would be convenient if this was all in one place- namely Bamboo. But for whatever reason, that is not the case for my organization.

"I love BambooHR! "
What do you like best about BambooHR?

We use BambooHR for ATS, Time tracking, performance management, onboarding, etc.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Its an ATS made for smaller to mid size companies and are relatively young. This means Bamboo doesn't always have features that larger, more established HRIS have. However, they're adding new features every month, so they're well on their way!

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

In my role, I primarily use BambooHR for ATS and Onboarding. Both features are fantastic and I love using them. I consistently get feedback from new hires that BambooHR onboarding is the best onboarding experience they've ever had.

"Great software for small businesses!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like that I can onboard new employees so easily! I love that all of my onboarding forms are digital. I also like that when a new employee come onboard, it's announced to their team. I also like the permissions that I can set up for certain managers. I have managers that i only want to be able to access notes, I have some managers that can access almost everything except for the CEO and CFO job info. It makes my life as the HR director so much easier and cuts most of my tasks in half.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There's nothing I dislike. The software is super user-friendly. THe only thing I have tried to do that was not available for me is that I have a reimbursement form that employees can complete to get reimbursements. This form goes to the employee and then their manager. I"d like to have this form available at all times to the employee so he can access it whenever a reimbursement is needed. Currently, I have to send it to them for signature.

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

We have solved the problem of being able to go just about paperless. I can onboard my new employees as well as send them digital forms to sign for benefits. It also keeps employees from coming to me with tons of questions all the time. They can easily login to bamboo to look up how much they are getting paid, their start date, benefit rates, other employees contact info, etc.

What we like most about bambooHR are its time tracking and goals tools. It is very easy to create and monitor individual goals, and it is also easy to create detailed reports for payments. The storage of bambooHR documents is very broad

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

We do not like your application tracking system (called ATS). It is difficult to precisely identify qualified candidates with it, and its mobile application for Hiring is slow and complicated to use, or at least, this in the Android version

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

Thanks to the implementation of bambooHR we have resolved organizational problems in our workflows and email alerts. In the case of the latter, our employees stay better informed about information updates and requests that we may have
