BambooHR is HR software for small and midsize businesses. It keeps employee records in one place and handles onboarding, time off, performance and reporting.
BambooHR’s applicant tracking system lets you manage job posts and candidates on one platform and reach candidates through job boards and your social networks. Offer letter templates auto-populate candidate details for different positions. Hiring teams can work together using custom permissions, automatic alerts and messaging inside the system, and BambooHR offers a separate Hiring app for anyone taking part in hiring. With the time tracking add-on, employees can clock in and out from the BambooHR Home screen or the mobile app. BambooHR’s AI gives instant answers, summaries and reports to plain-language questions.
BambooHR says it unifies hiring, onboarding, payroll and people data from your first hire as a company grows. It says founders and operations leads at early-stage companies run it themselves, so they can manage HR without dedicated HR staff. It also has industry pages, such as one for finance organizations with hybrid teams, which focuses on managing compliance, replacing manual processes and separate spreadsheets, and keeping data in a single place.
BambooHR’s open REST API can be used to work with employee data and produce reports in several formats, authenticating either with API keys generated from a user’s account or with OAuth configured through the Developer Portal. Its Marketplace lists the technology partners that integrate with it. For most customers, BambooHR’s implementation service assigns a specialist who helps you import your data, while smaller organizations go through a QuickStart process instead. Phone support runs on weekdays from an in-house support team. Information is encrypted in transit, sensitive fields are encrypted at rest, and multi-factor authentication is available to all customers.
