Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR

At our company, we use BambooHR for HR and Recruiting purposes. We're a small (up to 50 people) digital agency with an international team in the US and Europe. BambooHR helps us manage HR operations with our fully remote team. We use the platforms for all HR operations; we use only the onboarding functionality for recruiting.

Pros

  • HR operations.
  • Time off management (approval & requests).
  • Employee surveys.
  • Onboarding checklists.
  • Employee private information management.

Cons

  • Recruiting functionality.
  • Recruiting funnel.
  • Interviewing feedback.
  • Recruiting reporting.
  • Better employee management.
  • eNPS data.
  • Overall employee satisfaction with the system is 8/10.
The systems log you out quite often for security purposes, which makes it challenging to log in every time through 2-step authorization. Also, the loading can take some time.
Overall, the team was responsive, although not all requests could be made due to a lack of functionality in the recruiting module, for example.
BambooHR reporting has added more data insights to give a better overview of the company. For example, we have learned that our company has a 50/50 gender equality among employees, with a less proportionate distribution in leadership roles. This gives us insight into focusing more on hiring female leaders.
Bamboo has an intuitive design and covers many HR functions well. It is a great fit for small—to mid-size companies because of its detailed reporting, functionality, and price.

Do you think BambooHR delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with BambooHR's feature set?

Yes

Did BambooHR live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of BambooHR go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy BambooHR again?

Yes

BambooHR is well suited for small to medium-sized companies that aim to organize HR operations. Everything connected to employee management is organized well. For recruiting operations, the system provides limited functionality and flexibility. It doesn't include sourcing management, interviewing feedback, scheduling, and others.
