About BambooHR

BambooHR is one of the best-known HRIS platforms worldwide, with a polished interface, strong onboarding, a built-in ATS, and excellent reporting. In the UK it is quote-only, with no public rate card, and implementation fees often apply. It is GDPR-compliant, but it is built for the US market: its native payroll is US-only, so UK users need a separate payroll integration, and support runs on US hours. It suits design-led or international teams that do not need UK payroll built in.

BambooHR was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Lindon, USA.
