"A great place for everything you need in HR"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love BambooHR because it gives me one place to store all information and documents for my employees. It makes onboarding a breeze and offboarding as seamless as possible. The option to send documents to all employees to sign right through the platform is great. I am excited to continue learning to use all the tools BambooHR offers.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I am having trouble thingking of something I do not like. Perhaps reminders about documents needed would be nice but not necessary.

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

Compliance! With BambooHR we have all the information and data in one place. All necessary documents are stored and it is easy to create and send out new items for sgnatures. The new hire packet is great, giving the employees the ability to complete missing information and complete tasks.

Not much. It is a great product for small business, easy to understand and implement... Support it great as well.

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

Hiring is so easy with Bamboo... linking everyting to ZipRecruiter and Glassdoor is so helpful.. Corresponding within HR, to candidates is a great tool

"Robust but simple, reliable platform with awesome support!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I have used BambooHR for many years at 2 different global companies, and really am consistently impressed with their support team. Their native features match our needs and are very intuitive.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Honestly I'm only afraid of them shifting from being a really GREAT HRIS to becoming fragmented with other product integrations (ala Payroll & Performance).

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

BambooHR is an easy-to-use master database for employee data, files, and compliance processes. By automating global on-/off-boarding tasks we can easily provide high-touch experiences while maintaining various types of compliance.

"Great tool, easy to use"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like the Time Off tracking and scheduling view, especially when it allows you to calculate the amount of vacation remaining at a future date. It's easy to get sick days logged/approved. The Celebrations and Full Calendar is convenient to see who has time off planned and when we should celebrate a birthday or work anniversary. We found a lof of benefit from using the Onboarding and Offboarding task lists.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I don't think all aspects of updates to Personal info should require approval, especially the Gender Identity and Pronouns section. If someone inputs a pronoun choice, the language of "your information update request has been approved" is an odd phrasing, implying that the employee needs managerial approval to be addressed in a respectful way.

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

It solves the problem of having multiple Google docs on Drive (our previous method) and having a more refined, mature HR tool to suit our growing business. Hiring practices are a lot smoother, as are employee onboarding and offboarding. Employee surverys and engagement is easier to measure and analyze.

"BambooHR Completely Streamlined Our HR Department"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR takes all the little details that HR professionals have to track and implement, and automates it. Before BambooHR, everything we kept track of was in spreadsheet form, over emails, and saved in files in our digitial drives and paper files. It's totally improved our recordkeeping, hiring, onboarding, offboarding, performance reviews, payroll, and everything in between. Researching, pitching, and implementing BambooHR at our organization still remains one of my highest achievements.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There aren't a lot of features I can very easily complain about within BambooHR.

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

BambooHR is solving the problem of manually tracking personnel details and keeping details from slipping through the cracks. It has kept the human error out of more HR work than ever before at our organization. It frees up some of the brain space of our HR team that was previously occupied by manually tracking our HR data.

"We love Bamboo!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Makes it easy to have everything you need all in one place! Everything we need for keeping track of all employees & documentation, time off, PTO accrual, hiring, and much more.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There have been a couple of things that were confusing to figure out like creating new PTO accrual policies, but whenever there's been something we can't figure out their support team has been ready to help us.

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

We don't have to worry about keeping track of all employees and information, Bamboo does it for us. Also great tool for hiring and keeping track of all applicants.

"Manage your day offs easier than never"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

It's allows me to check my day offs count with one click, there is no need to keep the available days count in another place or write a note. Also I don't need to write an email or use other service to ask for a day off or vacation from my supervisor. I can request day offs without leaving the BambooHR.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I think they have all the features that should have a tool that provides services like they provide.

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

BambooHR allows as to easily manage the companies org chart. Also all the employees can request day offs and vacations without from one place.

"Bamboo HR Review"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

We use the timesheets to record commissions, bonuses & any changes as well as hours and time off. We use time tracking and performance add -ons Training is really beneficial as well as we can assign training to specific employees and have completion dates as well as links to the training.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There are some limitations to accruals. You can't adjust time off from the previous year. You can't have two different notifications set for timesheet approvals and will only allow a max of 5 days before the payday

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

Having the ability to add notes to specific days on the timesheets helps speed up payroll as well as keep details all in one place. Email alerts for Birthdays, anniversary, time off reminders, new hires, compensation changes Hiring

"Great tool for nonprofits"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR streamlines all of the processes we need for hiring, onboarding, records keeping, and time tracking. Having so many features in one portal is great! It is easy to navigate and straightforward to learn for new staff.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

We are not a fan that certain modules like performance tracking and time tracking cost extra to add. We would love for it to be included in the basic package with the other features.

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

BambooHR keeps the avalanche of spreadsheets and paper forms from burying our admin team. It is clear cut for employees and makes everything easy to find in one place.
