Bullhorn ATS & CRM - Costly but worth it!
We are a staffing firm that utilizes Bullhorn ATS & CRM daily - it helps us keep track of all client, candidate, and prospective client interaction. It's super helpful when it comes to recruiting - it assists us in parsing resumes and keeping track of who we have in the system already. There are meticulous systems in place that help you track every bit of data you need.
- It's very organized and easy to use
- It tracks all email correspondence, so if you forget to jot a note down, it will be stored for you in the future
- It helps keep of all your relevant documents in one place - no more rooting around for contracts
- It helps in every sense in the staffing industry
- I think more training tutors would be helpful
- The back end of things (how to set up things on the admin side) could be improved
- The cost - it's a great program but very costly

Good for a smaller company with not many relationships to manage
Bullhorn ATS & CRM was implemented to help track our practicum and co-op placements and engagement opportunities with industry members.
- Integrated CRM and ATS solution
- Email integration
- Dashboard reporting
- requires quite a bit of set up - not very out of the box friendly
- parsing was slow and not very correct
- relationships requires lots of maintenance and was often incorrect

I am part of the mentorship program. We have recruiters assigned to the account that are using Bullhorn ATS & CRM. Bullhorn ATS & CRM is easy to use. There are some features that are not on JobDiva and eRecruit & Tempbuddy but it is with Bullhorn ATS & CRM. We can also pullout data to check their daily activities in that way we can check our recruiter's productivity just like their leads, dials, VMs, connects or even the status of the candidate they reached out to.
- Data Analytics
- Organized Tabs
- User Friendly
- Sometimes candidates resume are old
- Pooling of candidates from Job Boards

Reliable ATS of all time.
In order to avoid confusion, Bull Horn helps us keep track of all the positions that are received from various direct clients, the number of submissions made by various team members and recruiters, and the status updates of the candidates like offers and interviews, etc. In order to learn more about the candidate's application status and make the appropriate moves, they can examine notes entered into Bull Horn.
- Tracking of Candidate's application.
- Submission/ Interview/ Start Reports.
- Real Time Search and Sourcing Tool.
- It is more complex if we compare to the other ATS like CB and Job Diva.
- UI could be more better.
- It is very slow to work on.

Bullhorn Review

I was recently migrated (April '22) from Sendouts ATS (15 years) to Bullhorn ATS. I find the Bullhorn product to be far inferior to the much older Sendouts product. So many ridiculous functionality issues. Search radius for candidates maxed out at 100 miles. I recruit nationally. Sendouts' search radius was 500 miles. Getting logged off the system if actions are not taken within an arbitrary time period. My personal notations on candidates require me to click several tabs to read. While scrolling through a candidate list on Sendouts I was able to clearly read my notations on the candidate's homepage. In entering search strings having to double click on skills to have them populate is a joke. The email functionality makes AOL look state-of-the-art. I could go on and on. Does anyone know of an ATS provider that can migrate me out of Bullhorn. I may be in a pickle regardless based upon a time commitment I made for the product. I just figured that if Bullhorn was the "newer, more robust survivor and acquirer" they'd have a better mouse trap. I couldn't have been more wrong. Last but not least - haven't been able to figure out the integration with LinkedIn! Sincerely, Frustrated in NY.
- Their tech support personnel are sympathetic and reasonably informed on the phone.
- They migrated me for free - but you know what you get for free.
- Their logo makes sense.
- Search radius of 100 miles is absurdly small.
- Email functionality is archaic.
- Establishing search strings requires double-clicking into fields.
I really love Bullhorn. It’s a great platform to manage candidates, clients, and job reqs in a place that’s easy for everyone to access. It integrates seamlessly with other platforms and is super user friendly. I recently started understanding the reporting/ analytics side and that’s been very helpful to get a window into the status of my performance and that of my company. I really recommend Bullhorn for anyone who is on the market for a new ATS platform.
- Candidate management.
- Integration with other tools (i.e. Dice, CareerBuilder, CloudCall, etc.).
- Reporting.
- Notes and notifications.
- It always takes 2 tries to login.
- Easier ways to edit notes without admin access.

Bullhorn is our ATS/CRM. We use it for all our Recruiting and Business development tracking and management.
- Integration with email
- Manages submissions and the placement life cycle well
- Easy to use
- Worst Customer/Technical Service Support I've ever encountered
- They nickel and dime you for every little issue
- They blame the customer for issues and then deliberately move slowly to fix problems they created.
- Terrible communication
- They will overbill you and try to get away with it unless you catch them red handed.

Streamlined Applicant Tracking with Bullhorn!
Our onboarding and recruiting teams utilize Bullhorn ATS & CRM to keep track of our candidates, employees, projects, and placements. All communications with an employee are housed in the candidate's Bullhorn profile, as well as all contact information, relevant files, and corresponding submissions and placements for projects. Client information for projects and headcounts to fill are housed in their respective Bullhorn profile.
- Easy to read format
- Integration with email and Zendesk
- Easy search function
- Separate onboarding layout (isolated space to enter onboarding progress notes in ticket format).
- More built out home page. To a new user it looks like it hasn't fully loaded.
- I wish the recent pages on the left side menu saved more pages before deleting them. While onboarding multiple people it helps to have multiple pages loaded on the menu.

Catastrophic ATS & CRM provider, don't buy this!

An absolute catastrophe. Lies during sales pitch Incompetent IT helpdesk Incompetent service provision After several conversations we chose bullhorn. Based on the sales pitch, it best suited our development, working method, and requirements. A wrong decision. During the introduction phase, after the finalization of the contract, we found out that we were lied to on several aspects. For example, the system did not work with us, this was specifically discussed during the purchase interview. Then we were lied to about the further process, or as they call it themselves a human error. They believe that they do not have to resolve this, as it was an individual mistake made by one of their employees. The cost of this mistake for us is approximately €1,500. I advise you to look further, there will be better, user-friendly, and fewer lying parties on the market than this one.
- Liying
- Not solving issues
- sell their product to you so they earn money!
- IT knowledge
- Service
- Well trained service employees

You wouldnt want to use anything else
We use Bullhorn ATS & CRM as our main CRM it enables us to easily track processes, add new candidate and client information, set reminders, send out mass emails and manage GDPR effectively.

- Compiance management
- Easy data upload
- Good integration with other products such as adcourier and Cube19
- The ability to undelete tasks without the need for technical support
- Live chat could be available more freequently
- Support available for all users not just support contacts

Doesn't solve any of my business processes, only used an expensive CV database.
- Storing CV's
- Contracts - auto renewal for 12 months, if notice is not given 60 days before.
- Clunky system, very slow
- Website integration - Need a team of web developers to integrate website
- Boring user interface, makes CRM system a chorr
- Customer service. No one answers the phone. People take 5 days to get back to you on email, you send another reply to that email, you have to wait another 5 days. Outrageous service.
- No account managers or point of contact for customers. No check-ins to see how I am getting on with the system.

Pre & Post Hiring made easy
Using Bullhorn ATS & CRM solved the biggest problem that we were facing of using multiple platforms. It is one platform that takes care of end-to-end solutions for staffing. I had the pleasure to use it a couple of times for my teammates. I could clearly see a difference in the efficiency by saving time while using Bullhorn ATS & CRM. The compilation of creating a task list becomes easy and everything from the candidate can be seen at a click of a button.
- It provides the contact details of a candidate relevant to the job. All details are with a user-friendly interface that anyone can use the application.
- The specific details given by Bullhorn ATS & CRM are unbelievable. One place and you can make a decision about hiring or not hiring.
- The messaging automation feature again helps to save our time.
- I wish we could avoid the support call to install a few new features.
- The navigation from one feature to another is slightly tricky at times. Not difficult but can get tricky for a new person.
- The search engine can get better and more specific with the niche.
We use the Bullhorn Timesheet at our company to get a simple, easy-to-read way to manage our employee's timesheets online. Its friendly user layout saves us time and resources from training on how to use and sending payroll communication related to our employees that we instead use to improve in other areas of Human Resources. We only address a handful of employees but we are aware of its capacity to address hundreds of employee requests at the same time.
- Friendly User Interface.
- Organized list of resources for employees.
- Efficient Reminder System.
- Provides great time efficient shortcuts to users.
- Great color coding for notification priority.
- Great acceptance from employee point of view.
- More ways to visualize Timesheet, Hours worked, and Pay generated for the period.
- Specific colored section on HR contact in the organization to address user's further questions.
- Add to bookmarks button for frequently used websites such as Timesheet submission.

Bullhorn [ATS & CRM] is perhaps one of the more polished and well-designed ATS systems out on the market currently. The exact versions I've used [are] the vanilla Bullhorn and also Bullhorn S. Both systems were designed well but the S version was even more so. It was easy, quick to learn, and became intuitive very quickly. Using the system made life very easy and there were some cool features in there such as the Applicant Flow where you could track the submissions, interviews, and placements of a candidate very easily. There were some issues and some bugs regarding reliability and sometimes [the] Bullhorn Support team would take a long time to help out with any technical issues but otherwise, the product was one of the best I've used so far. The whole company was using it across multiple locations but using their own "instance" of Bullhorn due to GDPR reasons. It helped with streamlining business processes both for candidates and clients.

- Client tracking
- Reporting
- Technical support

Bullhorn - Average Results
Bullhorn ATS/ CRM is used company wide to support recruitment activities. Bullhorn acts as a central repository for all applicants resumes and respective details. Bullhorn helps in sourcing candidates as well as creating a database of all candidates organisation wide. It helps in recruitment by allowing the user to source candidates across the internal Bullhorn database and offers integration with other job boards.
- Tracking Candidates
- Sourcing Resumes
- Multi User system - allows for collaboration across the organisation
- The interface is complicated and not so user friendly
- Resume sourcing does give adequate results as compared to other ATS
- Integration with job boards like Careerbuilder/ Monster/ Dice can be much better

Good ATS and CRM
We are using Bullhorn ATS across the whole organization for business development, account management, and sourcing/recruiting/pipelining individuals for workflow needs. It helps us stay organized, communicate with each other, and to understand where things are without having to constantly ask someone else since it is all reported and tracked in the ATS.
- Parsing resume
- Logging activities
- User-friendly interface
- Allows multiple tabs to be open
- Logs out too frequently if you are on a page sourcing on another website
- It doesn't always do a good job of recognizing individuals who are already in place and instead it makes new profiles
- It is difficult to navigate at first. A lot of tools and whatnot, with very little training to understand everything.

True Evaluation and Comparison of Bullhorn - Is it worth the price?
It's a very well-organized ATS and it addresses a lot of deficiencies left by its competitors. In terms of ease of use and integration, it's unmatched. It's easy to manage data and use and easy to train people on. The sole problem is it's extremely expensive. If it weren't so costly everyone would use it.
- Well organized
- easy to use / train on
- integrates easily with applications
- Too expensive

Bullhorn is used accross the whole organization by account managers, recruiters, client services with other software.
It is used for all our recruitment process, from searching candidates to place them, but also by sales people to follow-up their prospects, clients, creating jobs. It helps daily to make the link between all the departments as a recruitment cannot be successful if we do not [do it] as a team.

- Identify quickly available candidates through the availability date
- Know all the history of the candidates for the last years thanks to notes, submissions, etc.
- Set up tasks or appointments so you do not miss any follow-up
- Be able to change Ownership of Tearsheets, so if someone leave the company you can add the new person as owner
- In the Submission Tab, have more details to have a whole picture of the process. Currently, the details in the process are only if the placement is successful. Ie : Web response - Prescreen / Candidate not selected based on resume / prescreen - Submission - AM Declined - Client Submission - Declined by client / Withdrawal - Interview appointment - Declined - Placement
- Drag & drop candidates in jobs so we make a list of potential candidates for these jobs these candidates might be contacted after by another person. We can create a tearsheet, but it would be useful to add these candidates directly in the jobs (ie projects on Linkedin)

Bullhorn is the Future of Recruiting management
Bullhorn is used across our whole organization. Mainly, recruiters and branch managers use it. We use Bullhorn to manage our applicants and where there are in the process of being hired or interviewed. We are able to filter our applicants by using shortlists and tearsheets. Even if we don't have a position for the applicant, we can put them on a tearsheet or shortlist for future openings. We are also able to easily search for our applicants with their phone numbers or names making it easier to pull up their file. I use Bullhorn for probably 75-80% of my business functions with recruiting. I am not sure how I would manage without Bullhorn.
- Filtering candidates
- Locating candidates files
- Keeping track of where everyone is in the process
- Notes - leaving notes helps our entire company see where we are with each candidate
- Shortlist status - it is tedius to have different notes and different shortlist status. Shortlist status do not really help me in recruiting
- Textkernel in Bullhorn is sometimes difficult for me - too many clicks and buttons
- I would like to see more details required in candidates files - like a resume. So many candidate come through with their name and phone number and nothing else. Takes a lot more time for us to find out what their background is than if it was just a required field when applying

Bullhorn is not just full of Bull****
At HireVergence we use Bullhorn as an Applicant Tracking System and a CRM. It is used to keep track of my customer contacts, conversations, candidates and their process within the IT staffing process. It solves the problem of keeping track of clients and candidates for IT staffing, along with allowing for running reports regarding pipeline of business. It also integrates well with other tools like DiscoverOrg
- It does a good job of housing candidates details and linking them to open job opportunities the company has.
- It does a good job of integrating with lead generation tools like DiscoverOrg so you can parse data into the system, avoiding data entry.
- I like the UI layout, it is easy to follow and find information you need.
- It does a good job running reports.
- I would love to see the notes section have an option to configure it to scrolling notes, this way you dont need to open a new tab whenever you would like to see a new note.
- I would like to have an option to back date notes in Bullhorn if you forgot to enter them. There may be a way to do this but I have not figured that out yet.
- I would like to see an option to export resumes in Word format

Very disappointing, outdated product with too many bugs

Verified User
We use it as a CRM/ATS for handling recruitment and job interview processes. We have the Corporate Edition with integration with LinkedIn Recruiter (Full).
- The onboarding process is quite good. We were impressed with our consultant.
- It is very buggy, and they put the onus on the user to work around those bugs. You will find yourself constantly clearing browsing data and restarting your machine just to log in or get things set up.
- The default categories and functionality are really outdated. You can add fields yourself, but this is time-consuming, and the issues with cookies/browsing data mean you often get weird behavior when you edit the interface.
- It is time-consuming to upload and parse CVs to the system, and not well integrated with a typical LinkedIn workflow.
- Lack of accountability: Staff fob you off with excuses and workarounds, and nothing gets fixed. These are fixable problems, but nobody cares.
