What it does

BambooHR is a human resources information system (HRIS) covering employee records, onboarding and offboarding workflows, time-off tracking, performance management, and reporting. Higher tiers add payroll, benefits administration, and more advanced analytics. Pricing scales with employee count and includes automatic volume discounts. It's widely used by small and mid-size businesses as their first real HR system of record, replacing a mix of spreadsheets, shared drives, and email for employee data and onboarding paperwork.
