A simple command line tool to download resumes from BambooHR in bulk.
In our use of BambooHR, we found that we wanted to be able to search the contents of the uploaded resumes, but that feature is not available through the native BambooHR UI. In order to achieve this, I am using Google Drive File Stream to automatically upload the resumes I download to our G Suite Drive (or Team Drive), allowing the resume files to be searched using Google Drive's search functionality.
Only resumes which have not already been downloaded (or a rating has changed on) are downloaded on each consecutive run.
Here is a sample run:
$ ./bamboo -u=example@email.com
Enter your password:
