Outshining Our Human HRs Down here, in our company, BambooHR is our HR lifeline. Personally, I've been logging my hours, slapping on my travel deets, and snagging days off – all just through this platform. No need for pesky emails or playing phone tag.

I am an enthusiastic fan of BambooHR I am an enthusiastic fan of BambooHR. The platform is user friendly and simple to use. And most importantly, the customer support team is the best I've ever had the opportunity to work with.

Good software, poor sales experience While looking for HR software I trialled BambooHR having used it as an employee once before. The software itself is good. However, the experience with Sales lost them a customer. BambooHR are the only SaaS platform that refuse to list their prices. The reason for this is clear, they're not competitive and probably have no idea of their pricing structure. I asked numerous times what their pricing was for a certain package with a certain number of employees. They kept refusing to tell me, instead asking me to have a call with someone else. I really hate it when companies hide their pricing. For this reason I went elsewhere.

I'd recommend the software, but not the company. The software itself is good, can do most things and is pretty intuitive. However, 2 main issues: 1. We're based in the UK, were told that they can update everything to make it relevant for the UK and this isn't the case. This means things like gender/ ethnicity reporting etc. is useless as they will only accept US government definitions rather than those used in the UK (e.g. 'African American', 'Hispanic' etc.) along with various other bits and bobs which are irritating. 2. The sales team are great and give the impression that this is how all contact with the company will be. We were sold the induction package which was a waste of money, then any requests for support are pretty poorly handled. We've looked at competing products and decided not worth leaving, but it is irritating that we were oversold on what they can actually deliver.

Makes managing people much easier As a manager of a marketing team, HR responsibilities can become a huge distraction to the work I actually need to get done. HR became something I hated dealing with, but Bamboo HR has made it so much easier. Their platform is great and easy to work with. Employees have the responsibility to do a lot of the work themselves, but the manager can do a lot of HR-related tasks easily and quickly on their platform. The automation of certain HR responsibilities makes my life much easier. I think anyone looking to automate more HR would be very happy with Bamboo HR.
