About BambooHR
BambooHR is the most widely used HRIS for companies with 10–1,000 employees. It serves as the system of record for all employee data — with a self-service portal where employees manage their own profiles, PTO requests, and benefits. The built-in ATS enables end-to-end recruiting. Time tracking, performance management, and payroll (US only) can be added as modules. BambooHR's onboarding tools create pre-boarding experiences before a new hire's first day. Its reporting and custom analytics give HR teams data to support business decisions without needing IT.
