Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR

We currently use Bamboo for Job Posting, Recruitment, Hiring process, onboarding, employee files, and performance and goal tracking.
  • User friendly.
  • Clean & organized formatting.
  • Everything is in one place (performance and goals are attached to the employee profile along with the signed offer letter, documents, etc.).
  • Responsive customer service.
  • 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.
  • Informational clarity.
  • Improved onboarding & offboarding.
  • HR efficiency.
As mentioned previously, I never had formal training on how to use Bamboo HR, but I was able to navigate and figure out how to use the system on my own. When I run into issues, the help desk is quick to support me!
Very responsive and always answers any questions I have.
We don't use reporting functions enough to give it a rating.
Bamboo is more intuitive and user-friendly than Paychex.
