What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
In a firm of 100 workers, I am the sole HR representative. They couldn't understand how much I may accomplish. With BambooHR, I could use email notifications, automated procedures, and analytics to spot problems before they become problems. Bamboo is wonderful since it allows us to put it all in one spot. It has evolved into a one-stop shop for HR requirements on both the worker and administrative ends of the business. Excellent for monitoring and onboarding new employees
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
To perform activities, only a few keystrokes are required. I like how the ATS smoothly assists in the hiring and onboarding of new staff. Giving off on applications is very simple to establish and submit, and it is simple to locate signed papers in workers' files after done. It is also incredibly simple to report on leave, and also retrieve other staff reports and immediately email them to others. Automation is my favorite. It helps me in saving time while also being vigilant and catching problems before they can become problems. I appreciate that they're all up to date on the hottest and finest trends in the HR domains, which is essential.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is no genuine payroll plug-in. We are currently using ADP for only payroll; however, we are wanting to enhance our payroll. I want BambooHR used to have a strong challenger for an API connection, plug-in, or addon. As a consumer, I dislike the inability to split the leaves into multiple categories. At the end of the year, I'd like to see how many of my vacations were for pleasure and how many of those are due to a medical illness or emergency of some type.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Bamboo HR is an excellent choice if you want a solution that is simple to use and doesn't require a sophisticated ATS. BambooHR, in my opinion, performs HRIS quite well; that has strong reporting, a solid signing application procedure, great onboarding capabilities, and great time-off monitoring and approval activities.
Pros
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
