BambooHR

BambooHR is the first HR platform I have experience with but it is vastly better than a more traditional file cabinet where each employee has a file with their information. I appreciate the excellent customer service and how the platform is constantly improving. We cannot utilize the payroll options because our current needs are more complicated than what Bamboo HR can handle, but for a smaller business with simpler needs, BambooHR would be a perfect all-around tool.

• The Applicant Tracking System is pretty good. Has a couple flaws but over all it's a really great module.
• The HR management system works really well and we love how much we can customize things we need.
• The Reporting feature is one of my favorite things about BambooHR. I can create any report I want and I love that.

• The performance feature is a little clunky and not adjustable, so I would love to have more customizable options.
• When a candidate signs an offer letter, it would be great if it could show up under the documents tab. Right now, it gets a little buried.

There's nothing wrong with this platform. I would recommend it to any business starting with more than 10 employees. I will continue to use the program for as long as I need to, hoping they continue being tremendous and finding other ways to incorporate more technology.

BambooHR makes things so easy. It's a very user-friendly application, with most things being easy to understand inherently and the handful of things that aren't easy to learn either via help from customer service or the hundreds of training videos and documents available to you. I've seamlessly taught the platform to multiple employees, some of them contractors and not very good at computer things.

Yes, there is a huge team in the back of the online platform or it looks like it because I have never been left without an answer when I have a question or waiting from a response on my chat .... There must be a huge team, this is so great and I always seem to have someone that is very knowledgeable too. So many times in the past I had to leave with customer service that would connect you with someone else because of the expertise, here everyone seems to be some kind of an expert in the HR function.

I love BambooHR. Reports are easy to run and download and it usually covers any types of requests I get from the management team. You get excel or .csv downloads/reports and it is fast and simple, not too crowded so it is easy to read through. We don't integrate the tool yet but again, soon we will. we just did not had the time to utilize it yet but that's the plan.

Any time I have had a concern or question with Bamboo HR, the support staff has been extremely helpful and professional. I appreciate the kindness and patience each agent has shown. It's actually a pleasure to speak with them, even through the chat. I cannot say enough good things about the support I receive.

I didn't have in-person training besides teaching my managers how to use the program. However, I couldn't omit this question (maybe a system glitch).

As far as I can recall, everything went well with doing it online and got questions answered. Was thankful to work with a dummy file to get used to some practices prior to getting our own domain within bamboo to then place our personnel information in the system, this helped a lot!

We implemented bambooHR in Fall, 2023 then implemented Payroll 1/1/24. A vital piece of information was not known or missed in that we are exempt from State Unemployment Tax and have a Reimbursement Set-up, so bambooHR did not send Payroll Reports to the State. Those reports need to be sent regardless if we are exempt or not.

BambooHR was a significant cost savings for us compared to Paylocity. As we compared both systems, Paylocity might have a few more bells and whistles, but BambooHR's simplicity and price tag made It a much better fit for us as we transitioned to an HRIS and payroll platform.

Since my organization has dropped with employees, I always find ways to reduce costs. I thought there would be a cheaper option, but I was glad that my package included a lot for the price, and downgrading would cost more. The rep could have let me downgraded and taken me to a higher package. I am thankful that didn't happen.

There is so much you can do with this platform, it is incredible and so welcoming. We don't utilize it 100% yet just because we are growing and the HR team has not been able to concentrate on other areas offered to us but but we will soon. Which is also why we got the product, specifically because what BambooHR can do to help us meet our growing business needs.

VERY professional!

• Gave more time back to HR, Directors, and Managers by providing options for easy reports and a place to have all the information.
• PTO! This has given so much time back to accounting as they no longer have to manually calculate PTO and it's also allowed our team to feel more comfortable to take time off by having an official way to ask off and see what their balances are.
• Onboarding and offboarding: this has helped HR with the many many tasks of helping team members come onboard as well as when they leave a company.
• Professionalism: the ability to create forms and has stepped up our game for new hires and even tracking things we have needed our team to fill out!
