Reviews From Top Reviewers
BambooHR for easy applicant tracking
- Applicant Tracking System
- Onboarding
Cons
- Plans for granular use of the tool
Work with Bambooligans!
- Offer Letters - easily "fill in the blanks" to extend a formal offer of employment to applicants that can be signed electronically.
- Job Postings - allows for very pain-free management of posting new jobs and managing existing postings, including putting positions on hold and closing once filled.
- E-Document Management - easily attach new hire documents to be filled electronically with the offer letters, such as I9s, W2s, etc.
Cons
- Would like to see the applicant tracking workflow be a little easier to manage, similar to how Workable let's you move and track your pipeline more effectively.
- Troubleshooting some use of the settings was difficult on occasion, but I think this is mostly a result of the vast amount of features available.
- Would love to see additional features such as issuing warnings to employees, and even a timeclock feature to make it a more complete HRIS.
Good Basic HR system for employee and recruitment tracking.
- Online organizational chart
- Compensation historical tracking
- Recruiting tool for applicant tracking
Cons
- We did not have it integrated to our ADP payroll system so historical compensation tracking was prone to manual entry error
- Printing or exporting of the Visual org chart was clunky. Would be so useful if could export a full image clearly to use in PPT deck
- When tracking interviewing feedback, could not open the job posting to all collaborator without showing salary information. There should be profile option to have interviewers who can enter comments, without seeing salary details of post
Bamboo Review
- Reports
- Employee User Experience
- Applicant Tracking System
Cons
- Applicant Tracking System Reports, these should be more flexible.
- It would be useful to take the standard reports and save these as custom reports so that additional fields could be added.
- There are some glitches in the eSignature forms which should be resolved.
Would not recommend BambooHR
- Showing accruals (when it isn't messed up) in running total form
- Landing screen is user friendly and visually appealing
- Applicant tracking
Cons
- Basic functions of converting time to payroll
- Clocking in and out punches often do not "take"
- Default employee sort should be able to be changed to last name
- Consider not having everyone take their lunch at the same time
- Too little documentation for implementation - told to watch videos
