About Built for Teams

Built for Teams is a human resource information system (HRIS) that offers SMBs a centralized platform from which to track employee data and manage recruiting and onboarding processes. Featuring a dynamic organization chart, paid time off (PTO) tracking and applicant tracking technology, Built for Teams aims to deliver a user-friendly Human Resource management and succession planning solution.

With Built for Teams’ visualization tools, users can create, format, and maintain employee organization charts. From the org charts, users can gain valuable insight into workforce metrics and view details of staff vacancies and open positions. By incorporating a drag-and-drop interface with interactive chart navigation, Built for Teams enables users to edit groups and maintain information. To enhance user-productivity, Built for Teams allows users to share, publish, or print their org charts.

Designed to centralize employee records, Built for Teams provides users with a single place from which to store all employee contact information and documents. With custom fields, users can determine exactly what information or details they want to track. Built for Teams’ centralized HR system is also useful for employee recruiting, applicant tracking and onboarding processes as users can collect applications, screen applicants, and manage employee onboarding documentation all from the same platform.

Built for Teams equips users with the technology to request, review and approve employee time off through a simple self-service portal from which they can submit time-off requests, view the status of pending requests, and see their full transaction history. Through electronic request notifications, approval links, and automatic company calendar and employee record updates, Built for Teams serves to automate PTO management.

    Overall, the service is excellent and I appreciate how they improve my job as an administrator.

    Pros

    It is a helpful tool to manage our people and their planned time away from the office.

    Cons

    I want them to develop a timecard feature for hourly employees that helps us manage their work times with their PTO time.

    Response from Built for Teams

    Dan, I have great news! We recently finished a timesheet feature that could be what you're looking for. I'll have one of our support team members reach out to show it to you! Thanks for the review and for being our customer.

    Built For Teams brought order to our PTO policy chaos

    We're a small eCommerce company with a headcount of 15. When the team was smaller, paid time-off wasn't being tracked which led to concerns about abuse of the policy and a lack of transparency around who would be out of the office and when. It became necessary to put a tool in place to better handle PTO requests and tracking, but a traditional HRIS would have been overkill for a company our size.

    Built For Teams allowed me to implement a robust, yet easy-to-use system that didn't cause any headaches for employees and gave managers greater visibility over when each member of their team would be unavailable.

    Pros

    - The UI incorporates best practices so very little training is needed to get new users comfortable with the system; the user experience is very logical.
    - The shared calendar can be set to allow employees and managers to view others' approved PTO dates to ensure adequate coverage before a new PTO request is made.

    Cons

    - The system can be used to warehouse a lot of employee data that we don't keep in Built (tax info, direct deposit info, benefits data not related to PTO) and the inclusion of those fields can sometimes cause confusion for new employees.

    Response from Built for Teams

    Thanks a million for this detailed feedback, Colin! Knowing that our product is bringing some order to your PTO processes is great to hear. Thank you for the feedback regarding the additional, unneeded fields too. It's helpful to hear things like this and it definitely influences our product development roadmap going forward!

    Review of My Built for Teams Experience

    Reviewed on 11/09/2018

    Pros

    We mainly use this software to store, track and request our PTO. I do like how I can access my current time as well as my previously requested time and make changes to any requests.

    Cons

    I do not like that our only option for requesting time off is for a full or half day. Many times things such as a doctor apt. or personal time may only be something that will take an hour or two, so I would love if we could request a smaller portion to use our PTO. This way we can track better the time we are taking off. It would seem some employees will take advantage of taking an hour here, or there without ever making up or accounting for that time, which leaves others to pick up their slack.

    Response from Built for Teams

    Deanne, thank you for the review! I'm happy to report that Built for Teams does indeed allow you to request time off by the hour, not just by the day. We even allow you to be as specific as to the minute, if needed!

    Your account administrators have set up your company account, however, to only allow half-day increments. If they'd like to change that setting, we can provide any guidance to them that they might need. Feel free to ask them if they're open to changing that setting and if they need help doing so, contacting us with questions!

    Great way to manage PTO!

    Reviewed on 30/08/2018

    Pros

    As a school, we struggled for years to accurately manage and track the many, many requests for personal, professional, or sick time. Built for Teams was game-changing for us--for the teachers making the requests, for the administrators approving the requests, and for the HR and accounts managers reconciling PTO at the end of each year. It's effortlessly effective.

    Cons

    I wish we could program BFT to automatically notify our HR manager upon each approval.

    Response from Built for Teams

    Laura, you've been a customer for years now, and for that we thank you! We do have a feature that allows notifications of approved time off. I'll reach out to you directly to help you set that up. Thank you so much for being our customer and for posting this review!

    I enjoy the software for the most part but I wish these changes would be made.

    I enjoy the software for the most part but I wish these changes would be made.

    Pros

    The easy functionality for our employees. They are able to log-in and request time off/put in for sick time, etc. It is helpful because it isn't something I have to manually enter anymore.

    Cons

    I dislike the request process. I would prefer that it would allow you to go down to the minute so it's easier tracked. I would also prefer it had the option to mark for tardiness. I use the unpaid tab for that but you have to modify the balance every time.

    I also dislike that you cannot modify something once it's put in/date passed. I shouldn't have to e-mail for adjustments - I should be able to change them as I'm the admin.

    Response from Built for Teams

    Thanks for the feedback, Kayla! First, I have great news that we just added support for by-the-minute requests. We'll reach out to you to show you how to enable that new setting! Second, we're also working on improving the process for modifying historical data. We should have some updates in the near future that will help make that process easier. Thanks for being our customer!
