I like that you can house all of your applicants in one area. You are able to contact the customer support quickly and they are readily available, also they are very friendly. BambooHR also posts to multiple hiring sites for you, which is great.
There have been a few quirks with the applicant questions, but the customer support has seemed to address those. For the most part I haven't found much that I disagree with when it comes to the way things are set up within the system so far and I have used it within multiple agencies that I have worked for.
They have addressed the prescreening questions for me. Currently we have been going through the issues where the candidates are able to skip the screening questions that we have set up for them to answer when they are applying through Indeed or ZipRecruiter. I sent this through to BambooHR customer support and they have been working on this. I have not seen any further complaints from my team. However, we do still get the occassional issue come through from time to time where they skip the questions somehow.
I can customize it to serve our business needs
The help section is not always easy to navigate
Guidance with payroll - easy to use, and they take care of payroll-related taxes. Support is always available and their answers are very clear and concise.
It helps me find colleague names, job information, contacts, managers, etc. It's very easy to configure automations and notifications for new hires. It also is very easy to integrate with external softwares, which are proprietary.
I dislike that there are some hard coded fields that are unable to be moved/removed or others added manually, even by contacting the Bamboo HR support, which obviously would be great to have for everyone.
It solves some problems with the termination of employees, by automating some of the company's processes, also greatly helps with minimizing the quantity of paper that we otherwise have previously printed on paper, now we sign them digitally through the Bamboo HR system.
The experience around the features are great.
Perhaps the way the platform shows the time off people is taking. Is confusing
The way you map every single contributor to your organization and how you manage them in order to have a clear company structure
BambooHR is a great way to engage with employees. It allows you to easily keep track of all your employees information and keep it up to date. Payroll in BambooHR has almost become an afterthought because of its ease of use. Also the support of our BambooHR team has been outstanding.
Only thing that they have yet to acomplish for us is an integration with our ERP system.
We have needed something that will help with our highering process, perfomance management, onboarding, and payroll. BambooHR has made Payroll a breeze. Onboarding is something that we had nothing set up for, BambooHR has made it a focus for us.
Recruitment is much easier, keeping track of roles and candidate is all on one place. Onboarding is just a click of a button.
There is nothing I dislike about Bamboo. They update their system regulary and there are harlyany faults with the system.
Everything can be kept on the system, than having tons and tons of papers to scan and store.
So many things! Having employees HR file all easily accessible, the tasks, reminders, training is all customizable and easy to use.
I wish I could edit a file directly in Bamboo rather than having to delete the old, update it and then upload and configure the signatures again.
Tracking training, licensing, compliance. It frees up my time for other duties.
BambooHR is very organized, it is so helpful to have everything in one spot for employees. One of my favorite things is the helpful customer service, as well as, the FAQ site they have that already has almost every question of mine answered, it has so many useful features. I think it is great how they accept feedback and work to make changes if necessary. I use BambooHR every day, and I haven't used an easier HRIS database to help implement structure into the employee's daily lives. It was very easy for a new user to integrate their information in to and fully grasp.
My least favorite thing is not getting updates on feedback you send over.
Bamboo not only allows Admin professionals to keep track of important information, but it also allows employees to have autonomy over their employee profile.
BambooHR has saved us hours of work handling onboarding new employees and managing PTO. Their customer support team is professional, quick to respond and knowledgeable.
The product lags sometimes, but other than that - I dislike nothing.
Employee onboarding and offboarding, managing PTO
Aside from the easy to use interface, BambooHR supports multiple HR programs and provides a meaningful, flexible and efficient method of managing these pieces. For example, Performance Management and Onboarding. They customer support is very efficient and responsive, answering any questions promptly.
The only suggestion I would have for BambooHR would be to add features relating to job levels, compensation ranges and compa-ratios. Some pieces we have been able to tailor however, embedded fields for this information would be helpful.
BambooHR manages the administrative pieces of employee management from time off policies to performance management, significantly reducing errors and saving time for managers and employees.
