Better Together: BambooHR Preferred Partners

The BambooHR story could have turned out very differently. When co-founders Ben Peterson and Ryan Sanders decided ten years ago to start a new software company, they knew two things: they liked working with each other (most of the time), and they wanted to build a company centered on being a great place to work for its employees. They believed—and still do today—that when you set people free to do great work, great work takes place.

They could have built anything, but they decided to extend the mission of improving employee lives by developing HR software that helps HR professionals focus on the people they work with rather than time-consuming data management. And as BambooHR has grown, we’ve learned a lesson that most HR professionals learn in one way or another: we can’t do everything by ourselves. We’ve grown, it’s true, but our success comes from careful focus on the core of the HR experience. We want to give HR professionals both the technology they need to get better results and the support that helps them know how best to apply it.

HR has a hand in everything related to humans in the workplace, from recruiting and compensation to benefits and engagement. And we’ll admit BambooHR can’t do everything for everyone. But BambooHR does provide a platform for managing specialized HR services through integrations with our partners, giving you seamless access to all the tools you need for your organization’s specific strategy.

A New Place for Our Preferred Partners

As our partner program has grown, we’ve realized we need to give our customers a better way to find the partners that address their HR needs. With that in mind, we created our Preferred Partners program. We took a look at our most popular partners and factored in customer satisfaction and target customer alignment to create the Pro and Elite categories.

The Pro category features up-and-coming Marketplace integrations. These integrations are growing in popularity and utility, building on their track record of high customer satisfaction and adoption.

Our Elite category features the integrations our customers use most. These integrations have the highest number of satisfied customers and a proven record of helping BambooHR customers achieve their potential.

How can you tell if an integration is Basic, Pro, or Elite? It’s easy! All Pro and Elite partners have a badge on their listing thumbnail and on their listing page to help distinguish them:

You can also filter for preferred integrations from the sidebar:

GoodHire

GoodHire is our very first integrated background-check partner. This integration lets you identify which candidates need a background check from within BambooHR. BambooHR then pre-fills background check orders with the candidate’s legal name and address before automatically queueing them for processing on the GoodHire platform. Once the check is ordered, GoodHire’s system securely gathers all remaining personal information and legal consents required. You can easily track the status and view results from within BambooHR. Candidates will be notified via email when the results are ready, and if any alerts are found, the candidate will be invited to provide context and explain.

Northpass

Northpass is modern learning software for training and enabling employees. The bi-directional integration enables the automation of workflows between BambooHR and Northpass, removing the need to manually provide course access to users.

OneLogin uses SAML 2.0 to sign users into BambooHR, eliminating user-managed passwords and the risk of phishing. OneLogin also extends to BambooHR’s mobile app, so users will be able to login to the app using SSO through OneLogin.

With OneLogin, organizations can also further automate onboarding and offboarding processes and improve data security. OneLogin continuously checks for status updates on employee records in BambooHR. When a change is made, OneLogin automatically kicks off IT tasks – from configuring new accounts or updating access permissions.
