About BambooHR
An HRIS built for SMBs, reported on like an enterprise.
BambooHR was founded in 2008 in Lindon, Utah by Ben Peterson and Ryan Sanders, and grew to around 1,000 employees by 2021. The product is aimed squarely at small and mid-sized companies (typical customers run 50 to 500 employees) and covers the full HRIS stack: the employee record, hiring and onboarding, time-off, performance reviews, benefits administration and, more recently, payroll and compensation. Public claims put the install base at roughly 34,000 companies across 150-plus countries, with data hosting in the US, Canada or Ireland depending on the customer.
For SMB HR teams, BambooHR is the single source of truth for who works here, who is joining, who is leaving, and who is off this week. The built-in reports cover the HR weekly check-in well. The questions that sit across HR, finance and operations, like how long it really takes to fill an engineer role, what first-year attrition costs in practice, or how holiday patterns map onto the delivery calendar, need the BambooHR data next to CRM, project and time-tracking data. Our connector pulls the employee directory, hiring leads, time-off requests and policies, and the application pipeline into the warehouse, so those joins stop being a copy-paste job into a spreadsheet once a quarter.
