About BambooHR
BambooHR is a global HRIS used by tens of thousands of small and mid-sized businesses for core HR records, onboarding, leave, performance, and reporting. Pricing starts around USD $10 per employee per month on the Core plan (about $14 AUD), with a USD $250 (about $351 AUD) monthly minimum that effectively prices in companies with fewer than 25 employees. Payroll is not built in for Australia and runs via Employment Hero, Xero, or similar integrations. AU Fair Work compliance is limited compared to AU-built platforms, but the product is well regarded for its onboarding flows, intuitive UI, and ATS that ships on every plan.
BambooHR was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Lindon, Utah, USA.
