• Reduce time spent on repetitive and manual tasks
• Eliminate the risk of errors or duplicates while inputting employee information

It is applicable if you have the following types of Team Members (TM):

How it works

Once you connect your HRIS to Oyster, you can import your employee details from BambooHR into Oyster and then go ahead to engage them via Oyster. With that done, employee details updated in the BambooHR, will automatically sync periodically back to Oyster. 

Selected employee data that exist in your HRIS and Oyster will be synced. When you are hiring a new team member you will:

1. Create the team member profile in BambooHR
2. Oyster pulls fields from BambooHR into the Team Member's hiring form
3. Complete team member onboarding in Oyster
4. Every time you update a field in your HRIS, Oyster pulls back updates to Oyster so your team member is always synced across both platforms

If you already have team members in Oyster and want to enable the integration and have all existing profiles synced across both platforms, they will be matched up based on personal or work email addresses with their corresponding BambooHR records. Once matched, any updates made to the employee information in your HRIS will be pulled back from BambooHR to Oyster.
