Reviews From Top Reviewers
Easy-to-Use
- Easy Navigation
- Custom Access Levels
- Onboarding
- Reminder Notifications
- Custom Time Away
- Time Tracking
Cons
- Reporting - I wish that you could choose a timeframe for all reports. There are times when I need to run a report for information at a point in time, but there is no functionality to complete this (maybe this is an add-on, but seems like it should be a basic function.)
- ATS - Customizable notifications and making it easier to figure out how to change notification/email settings. I figured it out, but it was difficult to find. I wish you could choose to notify managers of candidates 1/week instead of every time someone applies.
- Custom Holidays - being able to set up 2 different Holiday policies for different working groups. Some of our team gets a floating holiday, but we can't set that up without doing it for the entire company.
- Being able to intercept a form that was signed by an employee but not the 2nd signer. We can't access onboarding forms that new hires signed after the 2nd signer left the company. Now we have to have our team resign all their onboarding forms because we cannot access the one with their signature.
- Delegation for approvals - being able to delegate this when someone is on leave or time away so that Admins don't have to manage.
- Org chart - being able to customize this feature
- More broad or customizable EEO categories
Easy to use
- BambooHR provides a clean, easy to follow layout
- I like the customizable dashboard
- BambooHR has a great ability to run very specific reports
Cons
- I would like to be able to mass add or delete information in the Training Duration section. Same with the Certifications section.
- If possible, it would be great to have a pto calculator that would work for companies who base pto off of accrued hours.
Easy to use Platform!
- Leave submissions
- Reports
- At a glance view
Cons
- Needs to remove double-up of salary info under Job and Payroll. This is the same info and should transfer over!
- Adopt AU leave policies.
- Same level of knowledge in customer service.
Easy to use for employees!
- Onboarding checklist - really easy to use
- Quick links to important documents
Cons
- Honestly nothing - it’s so easy as an end user.
BambooHR is Intuitive and Easy to Use
- Time off requests.
- Benefit details.
- Employee information.
Cons
- Better file tracking.
- Better organization structure mapping.
