RemoFirst Partners with BambooHR to Launch Global HRIS Integration
BambooHR and RemoFirst have established a powerful HRIS platform integration that enables companies to expand globally without complex international compliance issues. Through this integration, businesses gain immediate access to RemoFirst's network of in-country legal entities, eliminating the need to handle complex local employment laws or incur costly legal compliance expenses.
How the technical implementation works
Once authenticated, the system syncs core employee data hourly from BambooHR to RemoFirst, including new hire information, job details, and personal data. Approved time-off requests automatically transfer from BambooHR to RemoFirst, maintaining BambooHR as the system of truth.
The integration identifies BambooHR users through a custom "Sync to RemoFirst as" field, supporting employees, contractors, and global payroll staff. All employee changes made in BambooHR automatically update in RemoFirst as well, ensuring data consistency across platforms.
Three key advantages for HR teams
- Unified workflows within a single HRIS platform that eliminate disconnected systems and data silos
- Automated employee data synchronization that reduces manual entry and potential errors
- Seamless hiring capabilities for international employees within days, including onboarding and payment processing
This integration removes the friction of managing separate systems while maintaining the reliability and compliance coverage that global teams need.

How the BambooHR x RemoFirst Integration Works in Practice
Where: RemoFirst account → Integrations tab
Setting up the integration is straightforward. Click "Add" on the BambooHR integration card, then submit your BambooHR subdomain and login credentials to establish a secure connection between platforms.
Once configured, the system automatically handles critical employee data transfers. For new employees, this includes names, start dates, job titles, and email addresses. The system prioritizes home email addresses over work emails when both exist in BambooHR. For existing employees, any changes made in BambooHR sync directly to RemoFirst, maintaining consistent data across platforms.
How data synchronization works:
- Data syncs hourly between platforms automatically
- Administrators can force immediate updates using the manual "Sync data" button in RemoFirst Company Settings
- Time-off requests stay in BambooHR as the system of record, then transfer to RemoFirst once approved for payroll processing

Setup requirements: Ensure personal or work emails match across platforms and set employment status as Full-Time, Part-Time, or Contractor. This eliminates duplicate data entry and creates a smoother experience for HR administrators managing international teams.
What makes this integration ideal for startups and scaling teams?
Startups and scaling teams face a tough reality: 70% of startups try scaling too early, with premature scaling contributing to 90% of startup failures. The BambooHR x RemoFirst integration addresses these critical challenges head-on.
Growing companies typically spend $4,129 per employee with up to nine months before seeing ROI. This integration changes that equation by delivering immediate advantages:
- Cost-Effective Growth: RemoFirst's transparent pricing starts at just $199 per employee per month with no hidden fees [6], enabling startups to access global talent without breaking budgets.
- Time Efficiency: HR tasks become routine rather than rigorous [7], fitting naturally into busy workdays instead of consuming all available time.
- Rapid Deployment: Teams can hire internationally within days, not months [8], eliminating the need to establish costly local entities.
- Scalable Processes: The integration automates data synchronization [9], reducing manual entry and freeing HR teams to focus on strategic initiatives instead of administrative work.
Small businesses often lack resources for complex legal infrastructure. This partnership levels the playing field [8], allowing startups to compete for talent globally without the overhead that typically comes with international expansion.
