What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?

BambooHR is a platform that not only allows you to manage a company's current employees as well as its competitors, but also offers a wide variety of service ranging from talent search to a time tracking system, payroll and management of tutoring material for current employees. In addition, it offers a better search for talent in a more specific way than other platforms, with Bamboo you can find talent with a much more complete search engine that helps you get the best candidate for any area, be it marketing, sales or another area of your company.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love the work hours tracking system, this is essential since the platform automatically detects the time an employee has entered and the time they have left their office, this helps us to account for the total work hours without having to do it manually, in addition, the Payroll system is quite complete, it allows you to make payroll payments online in a very simple way and making any type of deduction from the total payment that corresponds to the employees. The employee management system allows for adding tutoring material to improve the knowledge and performance of currenty employees its is very helpful to improve employee capacity.

What do you dislike most about this product?

We haven't experienced any failures in the employee management, talent management and workforce management functions that BambooHR has provided us with, it has performed very well in my company.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

My main recommendation is that people who are considering using Bamboo, fully connect this platform and integrate it with all the task and project development services and many other platforms that are used in the work environment, in this way the platform will be more accurate in measuring work performance and will be able to improve the workforce in an automated way.

Setting up workflows, forms and shared templates and gaining approval, from offices requires dedicated attention, effective change management and support from leaders. It's important to recognize that not all remote cultures will readily adopt procedures, which can affect the success of implementation. Companies should invest in communication and comprehensive training for administrators for coordinating changes, across different languages and regions

Begin with the trial to evaluate how well the integrations work with your payroll, document sharing and other essential systems. This will help guarantee an uninterrupted flow of data
