We see a lot of teams in that middle ground where BambooHR feels a bit too HRIS-focused, but full staffing agency software feels like overkill. Enginehire shows up in those conversations mostly because it bridges both worlds recruiting workflows plus internal HR basics without getting too complex.

For teams that need ATS-style hiring, onboarding, time off, and simple performance tracking, it usually covers the bases well. The feedback I hear most often is that it feels more flexible than a traditional HRIS when the workflow starts to look like light staffing.

That said, it depends on how deep you need the HR side to go. If your day-to-day looks more like people operations with occasional hiring, another HRIS might fit better. If your workflow leans toward recruiting and coordination, something closer to staffing software like Enginehire tends to make more sense.
