BambooHR vs. Teamtailor

Last updated on

BambooHR and Teamtailor serve distinctly different recruiting needs. BambooHR's ATS is best suited for small companies already using BambooHR's HRIS who need basic recruiting functionality with excellent customer support.

Teamtailor, on the other hand, is ideal for companies of any size who prioritize candidate experience, employer branding, and need sophisticated recruiting automation and evaluation tools. The choice between the two largely depends on whether HRIS integration (BambooHR's strength) or recruiting sophistication (Teamtailor's strength) is more important to your organization.

Advantages of BambooHR

BambooHR is significantly better at HRIS integration
As a native feature of BambooHR's HRIS platform, the ATS seamlessly integrates with employee data management, making it particularly efficient for companies already using BambooHR's HRIS. This provides a smoother transition from candidate to employee compared to Teamtailor, which relies on third-party HRIS integrations.

Advantages of Teamtailor

Teamtailor has superior workflow automation
Teamtailor enables sophisticated workflow automation including automatic task assignment, email sequences, and stage-based actions, while BambooHR only offers basic email templates with manual sending required.
Teamtailor offers significantly better interview management
Teamtailor provides comprehensive interview scheduling features including candidate self-scheduling, interviewer availability management, and customizable interview pipelines per role. BambooHR lacks these critical features and only offers a single pipeline for all positions.
Teamtailor is far superior at creating engaging careers pages
Teamtailor offers best-in-class careers page customization with a drag-and-drop builder, allowing companies to create highly engaging candidate experiences with features like team stories and instant chat. In contrast, BambooHR only offers basic job listing functionality with minimal customization options.
Teamtailor provides much better candidate evaluation tools
Teamtailor offers comprehensive candidate evaluation features including weighted scorecards and standardized interview kits, allowing us to thoroughly assess candidates. BambooHR only allows basic overall evaluation without structured frameworks.

BambooHR is best for

  • Businesses with very low hiring volume (1 open position at a time)
  • Who are looking for a simple integrated HRIS+ATS solution (with ATS provided at no extra cost)
  • And can overlook inability to customise interview pipeline per position

Teamtailor is best for

  • Businesses with low to high hiring volumes (1 to 10 open positions at a time)
  • Who are looking for a powerful yet easy-to-use ATS
  • Or who particularly value employer branding and candidate experience

BambooHR is less good for

  • Businesses with moderate to high hiring volume (>1 open positions at a time)
  • Who need advanced recruiting features like interview scheduling, pre-screening questions, and custom pipelines per role
  • Or any business not using BambooHR as their HRIS

Teamtailor is less good for

  • Business with very high hiring volumes (>10 open positions at a time)
  • Who want a powerful ATS with advanced analytics functionality

Functionality

Functionality

5/10

<p>Bamboo's ATS has improved its functionality but it is still often limited. It offers the basics like creating a careers page, tracking candidates on an interview pipeline, but also disqualifying question and email automations. It lacks features like scheduling interviews, creating interview kits and candidate scorecards per interview stage.</p>
9

Functionality

9/10

<p>Teamtailor offers all the functionality that most SMBs will need for hiring. In addition to core ATS features (track applicants over a pipeline, create job ad), Teamtailor allows you to compare candidates side-by-side, create highly customisable career pages with a no-code wbe builder, nurture candidates by sending them email sequences and more.</p>
Ease of Use

Ease of Use

6/10

<p>Bamboo's ATS has a moderate learning curve but becomes easier to use once familiar.&nbsp;An average startup employee should require a few hours and some guidance to master all the key functionalities of the product.</p>

Ease of Use

9/10

<p><span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">Despite its very rich functionality, Teamtailor is very user-friendly. Key workflows such as creating a job opening, customizing an interview pipeline and setting up automations are all very straightforward and intuitive. </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">An average SMB employee should require around an hour and minimum guidance to use the product proficiently.</span></p>

Customisability

Customisability

3/10

<p>BambooHR offers very limited customisability. Users can't build custom reports, customize hiring pipelines per role, or customize the careers page beyond changing the main colours and company logo.</p>
8

Customisability

8/10

<p>You can customise most things with Teamtailor, from interview stages, job application forms, reports to widgets on the homepage. It also offers best-in-class customisability for careers pages.</p><p>The only things missing are more advanced customisability with reports and interview scheduling.</p>
Ease of Setup
7

Ease of Setup

7/10

<p>BambooHR offers a free trial but making a purchase requires speaking to sales due to their custom pricing. Basic setup takes 30-60mins to complete. Fully customizing the platform takes approximately 1 business day with the help from an expert.</p>
8

Ease of Setup

8/10

<p>Teamtailor offers a free trial without needing to speak to sales. However, to make a purchase, you have to speak to sales due to the custom pricing. It takes &lt;30mins to complete basic setup (posting first job opening, add hiring team members, configure basic hiring stages). Fully customize key features (creating custom workflows, configuring integrations, branding the platform) takes &lt;1week.</p>
Customer Support

Customer Support

9/10

<p>Bamboo offers support via in-app live chat. Its average hold time on a Customer Support call is 35 seconds, and their average resolution time is 3-4 minutes - which would make it a 10. But we've deducted a point because it's only available within US business hours.</p>

Customer Support

10/10

<p>Teamtailor provides excellent in-app customer support during UK and US hours. Our testers found it super easy to connect with human agents, who are always friendly, helpful and willing to go above and beyond.</p>
Integratability

Integratability

6/10

<p>Bamboo has around 130 pre-built integrations with most relevant products across most categories, such as video interview, background checks and candidate assessment. However, it lacks a few key integrations with popular tools like TestGorilla and Hirevue. It does offer an API for custom integrations.</p>

<p>Teamtailor offers 350+ pre-built integrations covering key areas like HRIS, assessments, background checks, e-sign tools, and video interviews. It also connects to 32 free job boards and 100+ premium ones. It also offers an API for custom integrations.</p>
