"Best ATS System for Your Staffing Needs"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

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.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

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.

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

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.

"Great software. Period!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

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.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

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.

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

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.

"Great HR Tool"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

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.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Only thing that they have yet to acomplish for us is an integration with our ERP system.

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

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.

"Bamboo has been a life saver!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

So many things! Having employees HR file all easily accessible, the tasks, reminders, training is all customizable and easy to use.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

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.

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

Tracking training, licensing, compliance. It frees up my time for other duties.

"Incredibly Helpful"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

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.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

My least favorite thing is not getting updates on feedback you send over.

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

Bamboo not only allows Admin professionals to keep track of important information, but it also allows employees to have autonomy over their employee profile.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Nothing! It all works perfectly well, and as it should.

"Solid HRIS with Great Employee Experience"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

The user experience for the employee and admin is really friendly. The basics of performance reviews, engagement, 360s and recruiting are all there. Support team is also great, and open enrollment was really easy.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The Performance Review and ATS are good, but not great. A few too many hurdles and structured not in a way that accomodates scale. Its manageable for less than 50 employees, but larger than that, and high volume recruiting it won't hold up.

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

Time tracking, time off management, general core HR payroll benefits

"Revolutionizing HR Operations"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Having employee files and company files centralized in one location. The reporting features (i.e., turnover, headcount, EEO-1 reporting etc. ) are invaluable. I couldn't imagine gathering all the data required to file an EE0-1 report.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

While BambooHR has been a great addition, I've noticed when you attend a Bamboo sponsored events it triggers information sharing with add-on vendors, which I'm not a big fan of. This is more of a suggestion that a dislike, but I wish they would bring back their annual conference. It was a great experience, and the speakers were fabulous. I think it really got everyone excited about Bamboo and created a network betwen users. At the end of the day, BambooHR remains a great system and I would highly recommend.

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

The notes section in Bamboo is invaluable. In Human Resources, we document all day long, and when senior management has questions, they can pull up the notes. This saves time for everyone.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There is nothing I can think of that I don't like about BambooHR.

"Better than Workday!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love how easy it is to navigate, it trully is so much better than Workday, the number of features and ease of integrating with other apps in our SAAS stack is great. Workday truly is overkill. BambooHR does a great job with their UI and it allows me to frequently use it.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I can't think of any that really stand out.

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

I would have to ask our Head of People.

"BambooHR makes my HR life easy!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like that BambooHR keeps HR documents organized and all in one place. BambooHR is flexible and my team enjoys having information at their fingertips.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Some things in Payroll could use some work. When a salary employee starts or terms mid payroll BambooHR doesn't consider that, the employee will still show with their full salarly until I do the math and change it. It also does not consider raises in the middle of a pay week, manaul math has to be done.

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

No problems really, their support is readly available when I need help.

"Everything I need in one place"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like that I can view my pay details including what's taken out for taxes and my tax forms. I was able to get my W2 directly off of BambooHR which was helpful. I also really like being able to see who is off that day and upcoming company holidays.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I like the tabs for Home, My Info, People, and Files. I wish that they were buttons that could be scrolled over to reveal a drop-down menu that shows all the different pages that can be found in those tabs and that you could select one of those pages from the drop-down menu to immediately be redirected to that page.

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

I think it solves the problem of complicated input of hours and not knowing exactly how much of my paycheck will be deducted for taxes. Inputting my hours is super easy, and I like that it tells me my total hours for each week and each pay period. I also love that it tells me what percentage of my paycheck is dedcuted for taxes. I've never had that before, and it makes it easy to know exactly what will be on my paycheck.

"BambooHR Makes HR Fun again!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR puts everything in one place. I now have one platform where I can go to get all the information I need both as the HR Manager and as an employee. My favorite part of BambooHR is the Performance module. We launced that this last review period and I can't believe how much time it has savied me and the managers. We went from a manual review process to everything being automatic. We absolutely love it.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Honestly, there is not much to dislike. Originally we didn't want to use the Performacnce module because we were mot able to customize it to our needs but BambooHR made some changes last year and now I don't know how we lived without it.

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

BambooHR has saved us from all of the manually work it took to manage HR. I have been working for the same company for over 10 years and the progress that BambooHR has made is amazing. It helps me stay on track, it helps me manage my employees and it takes a lot of the burden off my shouders and gives the power to the manaers to mamage their teams.
