    BambooHr, nominal loads on time

    Date: Jul 31 2021
    Summary

    BambooHr is a great addition to our human resources management system, an excellent SaaS tool that complements the way we operate our payroll, and improves the ways in which we allocate our employees' time more effectively, as well as being able to access task reports in real time.

    Positive

    BambooHr allows users to perform payroll processing automatically, in addition to easily identify employees who require special permissions, keeps a count of working hours that allows us to know the productivity of our workers.

    Negative

    We would like to create diffusion lists among our workers but so far it has not been possible, when we want to send a generalized information to only a sector of the company we may be forced to perform the transmission of information one by one, which requires a lot of time and work.

    BambooHR enables automation of human resources processes

    Date: Mar 21 2021
    Summary

    We were able to automate the insurance function with human resources and do it quickly as previously it was very cumbersome to deal with these types of cases. We were also able to eliminate a lot of work thanks to the self-service elements we set up with the main BambooHR tool and it is now much easier to send and receive emails. We recommend BambooHR for use in medium to large companies, as it is not cost effective enough in small companies if you don't have a lot of processes to automate. It has helped us make things simpler in a process equivalent to replacing some reports.

    Positive

    We have improved the sharing option with all our employees and they can immediately update their history with the company through this tool, now everything is more fluid when reviewing documents. We were also able to create the best process already simplified to be able to incorporate new clients to our database.

    Negative

    It has some limitations with some final reports, we need more detailed analysis when updating, we need you to update that part of BambooHR. In the mobile application there are also some limitations, it is quite disappointing to have to deal with a lot of bottlenecks.

    BambooHR has been instrumental in the development of human resource management tools

    Date: Mar 21 2021
    Summary

    We were able to achieve total management of all employee information within the records managed by our company, updating the human resources table, time off, sick time, important dates, among others. We are in the full capacity to recommend BambooHR as this software has always been ideal for the administration of information in the human resources area and to keep in a relatively high order all our employees. It's great to have so much confidence in an application that will always deliver, after a few configurations BambooHR synchronizes and gives us the confidence to handle and manage all of our clients' data.

    Positive

    This platform has a user friendly interface, we love that we can configure in the control panel all the updates of each client and that everyone is kept aware of it thanks to a calendar that we program inside the software. We are able to efficiently keep track of each employee's history so we can see how long they are working, how long they are sick and how much time off each employee is requesting. We have also been able to update each employee's data sheet with email and personal phone number.

    Negative

    The integration with the mobile app is very inefficient, the functionality is extremely low and tends to hang at least about two or 3 times a day, they should implement an update to fix this kind of glitches. Even with the time we have been using BambooHR we need to make sure that all employee data is entered correctly and accurately as sometimes it does not notify us if there is any kind of error.

    BambooHR remains a fabulous HHRR-oriented software

    Date: Mar 21 2021
    Summary

    BambooHR is a highly ergonomic platform when it comes to working with large employee databases. We recommend it for more comprehensive roster management and reporting within the human resources (H.H.R.R.) area. We think BambooHR is excellent for keeping track of everything that happens in the recruitment process and automating employee registration operations. It is excellent for tracking the quality of work.

    Positive

    BambooHR provides an excellent scheme for working with employees, which offers self-service operations so that they can self-manage their processes of sending information about their daily work quality or complaints. BambooHR does extensive time tracking.

    Negative

    It is difficult to import reports from spreadsheet formats into BambooHR because the software does not have adequate support for working with .xlsx files, which is problematic because this format is almost universal.

    Good Software

    Date: Oct 22 2020
    Summary

    I have been impressed with the demo we have done as well as the friendliness of the staff we have worked with, in addition to the user interface.

    Positive

    I have looked into BambooHR but have not switched yet. We are considering switching due to their easy user-interface. We are currently with a PEO and are wanting to get away from them.

    Negative

    There really isn't anything I have seen that is a con, just working through the due diligence process.

    HR is Happy now!

    Date: Oct 14 2020
    Summary

    Overall this has been great for our company everyones files are all in one place and it is all compared and they are able to view it along with us.

    Positive

    Before we had a bunch of paper files and couldn't figure out which one of us was doing what now our system with Bamboo is amazing. We can do the hiring and for there an employee is in the system it automatically sends them everything they need to onboard to our company. It was amazingly simple.

    Negative

    So far no issues the biggest part we had any trouble with was just loading everybody's information up when we were first starting. But you would have to do that with any system.
