Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR

BambooHR could be considered one of the most extensive and practical human resource management services when working with employees, whether they are candidates to work within the company or regular time employees who require administrative desert on our part. BambooHR is shown as a simple service when it comes to manage the views of employees or their activity during the hours of service, in order to evaluate them properly and offer a better administrative management of the payments that will be made in exchange for these hours. It integrates very well with employee search boards, allowing us to get the most suitable information for our company based on the parameters we set, and thus the results are prospects to employees who are more likely to meet the profile we want to get for the company. The platform has a very convenient chart creator, which allows to implement all kinds of information of the employees added to the company, such as the number of absences that have been reflected in our employee record detector, which is used for each worker to record their arrival time for the day. The BPM system can not only be used to cover online work operations, but also those that are carried out in person, in a face-to-face manner. This feature is what makes BambooHR such a versatile service for large businesses that require a lot of staff, such as supermarkets or government activities.

Pros

  • BambooHR has the ability to connect to cloud services to store working hours information on the web. This information is easily accessible once the platform has been connected to the cloud and the security parameters have been configured so that only a certain group of selected people can review them.
  • BambooHR also integrates with CRM services, so that contact management tools can be used to reach employees more quickly, making it a less time consuming process to interact and communicate with them regarding work and deliverables. in any case, this compatibility can be used to streamline work in general.
  • BambooHR has an excellent application for tracking the activity of our employees, which we use to review their progress and any mistakes they may make, and correct them well in advance. otherwise not doing this would risk the information in the reports not being correct and being sent out, causing problems.
  • Using BambooHR turned out to be much easier than we expected at first, considering that our company is relatively new and we had not used a software specialized in human resources before. We are satisfied with the use of the service and can proceed to recommend it to the entire community of human resources managers.
  • We have liked this support service more than usual, as their representatives are other human resources workers with extensive experience in the area, and they are in charge of offering high-level advice regarding any of the topics we wish to address with the platform and the administrative tools it offers.

Cons

  • In case you are working with spreadsheets, BambooHR does not update the information if you have any integration to web services, as in the case of Google spreadsheets, or Microsoft Excel extension, which practically conditions our way of working with these documents.
  • The databases used within the platform are generally SQL, which leaves aside databases from services such as MongoDB, which work with chained data to obtain different characteristics of movement and transfer of information. We believe that the platform is not good for creating a schema based on information from such data lists that we can include in our self-service oriented operations.
  • The sending of e-mails is also quite limited by the platform, as it does not allow us to send e-mails simultaneously to all delegated workers in our staff. Because of this, the process of sending invitations to special work sessions is more difficult.
  • There has been a small increase in the company's profit margin since we implemented BambooHR to cover our recruitment and employee management operations, so we have not only made more profit, but we have also been able to work better.
  • If the return on investment compares to what we were maintaining before we started with BambooHR, it is easy to deduce that there is a profit margin more than triple what it was in the past.

Since it shows all the results performed during the recruitment processes, it would be quite useful to implement BambooHR in order to get new employees and to be able to gradually create a fully modern network, with a constantly updated staff of employees who can bring in fresh ideas. Is recommended to work extensively with large lists of personnel reports, which could be useful for human resources departments that focus on generating payments to employees based on their work capacity. Basically it is useful for payroll departments (in the area of human resources accounting) of large companies with different branches. Since it unifies the information of all employees of a given branch or franchise, it could be used to access the employee records of the whole company, and check if employees have had the opportunity to work in another branch. This way, if required, the employee could be changed for another one, as a rotation, and a generalist work network could be created, where each branch has the same methodologies.
