What is the BambooHR partner program?
BambooHR is one of the best-known HRIS platforms for small and mid-market employers, bundling applicant tracking, onboarding, PTO, reporting and employee records into a single system.
Its partner ecosystem spans referral partners who send leads, solution partners who implement and advise, and a large technology marketplace of integrated apps.
How the program works
Referral partners register opportunities and earn commissions when referred accounts become paying customers, while technology partners build and list integrations in the BambooHR Marketplace to gain co-marketing exposure.
Requirements to join
Approval favors partners with a relevant HR, accounting or SaaS audience; technology partners must build a working integration against BambooHR's API.
How partners win with BambooHR
Partners monetize existing SMB relationships and, for tech vendors, tap BambooHR's large customer base through marketplace visibility.
What to watch out for
Exact commission terms are gated behind application, and the referral economics differ meaningfully from the non-paid technology track.
