    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.

    It's a good space to have a high level overview of the organization (especially Org view). Places for improvement include extra levels of complexity when you need to click on the person and you are navigated to the pop-up that is hard to use and only one pop up can be used at a time. I wish there wasn't so much of clicking in and clicking out.

    • Deeper data management/review - dashboard experience could be better and deeper
    • Ability to drill into reports within the tool- right now it takes you out to a sheet to view
    • Org planning/org chart sharing

    To use this system you need to buy several add-ons. If add-ons do not fit your business model you will have to access platforms from different companies. The system is not easy to use for onboarding. Candidates cannot change and update settings. To use the system a person must click in the correct spots. If not it leads you someplace else. Then you have to start clicking all over again.

    Sapling HR helps my HR team keep track of our personal information like contact information or t-shirt sizes (who doesn't like free shirts), as well as helping new hires onboard. I think it's super simple to use and keeps everything pretty nicely organized.

    If you have someone internally that can run it that definitely helps!

    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.

    Sapling [HR] was our first and only HR automation platform. We ran a trial campaign with them and did not compare them to other vendors.

    • We were able to get the system implemented very quickly, which was of great importance to us as we were undergoing rapid growth.
    • The system has helped us keep and stay organized and allowed team members to work collaboratively to get tasks done. Many of these tasks were previously managed with various spreadsheets and other trackers that were quickly becoming unmanageable.
    • Sapling has greatly decreased the time we needed to onboard and employee and has prevented many errors.
