Bullhorn Talent Platform vs. Iris HR Software

Bullhorn seems like a really great tool for recruiters. I like the search functionality. It made my job a thousand times easier. Of course, the search doesn't mean much if you don't record as many details as possible for each of your candidates. Seems like it could work well for a large company with lots of recruiters but probably wouldn't be great for a small operation.

Our staff is kept updated with more company policies and we are able to track their holiday and sick days much better. The help and support of their contact support are super good. They reply super fast and are very kind. Also, their sales department isn't pushy like other services they are very knowledgeable and kind.

• It's simple. I really appreciate that the layout of Octopus HR isn't something I have to question. I know where to look for something because it's clearly labeled, that's more than I can say for a lot of other HR systems I've seen.
• Support. If I ever have a question about setting something up, or if something goes wrong, they're always on top of it. For instance, I had no idea how to set up employee photos on our accounts. I tweeted them and they responded right away, I'm based in LA and they're a UK company, I was impressed that they were able to respond right away. They make sure their customers are taken care of.
• Great self guide. If there's ever an ordinary question I need answered their "Octopus Guide" is very thorough and walks you through everything.

• Interface looks a little old
• Integration with Slack
• In-platform messaging (It might have this functionality already. I just never used it if so.)

• It can take some effort to understand
• Perhaps the price can go down a bit
• Menu layout

Employees don't complain about it! If anything they've commented on how nice of a tool it is to have.

We chose BOND because it had the capacity to handle large amounts of data and because we needed the advanced reporting function. Ultimately, the recruiting functionality was limited compared to other, similar systems - particularly in the integration with Office 365, social media, and MSP sites. We ended up deciding to end our contract with BOND in favor of one which served our recruiting needs better.

I would say the pricing is good but it could be better. Also, the customer service is amazing they do such a great job and you can tell they know what they are doing. Visually it is very easy to use and looks very professional. It is a quick set up and they do their best to give you what you want and need.

• Faster turn around time to find candidates
• Better organization to ensure opportunities aren't falling through the cracks
• Fast profile creation with drag and drop resume

Incentivized

• Employee efficiency. There's never a question of who I request my time off with. The program sets up line managers who take in all the requests.
• Less wasted time. Contact info and photo are very visible and easily accessed.
