Bullhorn ATS & CRM

In my capacity at Procom as admin support, I use Bullhorn every day to manage contracts for our consultants. For example when I get notice of an extension from our client for a consultant, we're able to keep track over many years of data for pay increase and previous documents. This allows us to keep things organized for our own files, as well as make sure all the requirements are being met for our client.

The whole organization uses Bullhorn for many other tasks offered by the software. I understand that recruiters use Bullhorn for job posting and other functions. I believe we also use Bullhorn at our other locations throughout Canada.

A curious problem we face today in this sort of industry of playing admin/customer support for our clients is the issue of security. This often comes up on the onboarding process. Consultants are very careful who to give out their information to, but as it is a business requirement, it proves a difficult problem. Especially when you face the problem of trying to have a backup of your internal files. Bullhorn addresses this concern by storing information securely away from our own internal database in case anything were to happen to a hard drive.

We use bullhorn across all sales groups, but currently haven't integrated our back office. It has changed how we recruit and allowed us to put trackable metrics in place to reward new recruiters on metrics other than just placements. We have the basic (out of the box) account but it allows for a ton of custom fields thru the system which we have taken advantage of and it allows us the flexibility to run our small company, with our already in place program, via a out of the box solution. We couldn't be happier with bullhorn from email integration to ability to schedule follow up all the way to the recruiting life style - it saves us hours a day in keeping our candidates and clients in one easy to find place, and keeps us much more organized. Our biggest issue with our previous system was that it had not been updated in more than 7 years and was impossible to train new users on how to search the database, resulting in many not using it at all. The new database has allowed our recruiters to easily upload (and then find again!) candidates from all recruiting platforms. It also integrates with LinkedIn so we are able to see a candidate's LinkedIn profile right from the system which has allowed us to downgrade our financial spend with LinkedIn.

BullHorn is being used across my entire organisation to

• Track and manage client & candidate interactions.
• Search clients & candidates based on a specific requirement or location.
• Market to via SMS, email and phone.
• Manage the sales pipeline effectively.

With my previous companies we used Bullhorn as our company wide ATS and even as an VMS as well. It was used by all recruiters and managers to track candidates, track and post jobs, as well as a VMS to track other agencies we worked with. It addressed the problem of tracking candidates through the recruitment process, that our previous system did not do.

How to sum up our use of Bullhorn in a nutshell? It is the transparent foundation for our Agency's book of business. Think organization, data visualization, accessibility and the added capability to search our candidate database right at our fingertips. Explorers of yore depended on the North Star when no other landmarks were in sight; when the recruiting world has me turned upside down and inside out, I look to Bullhorn as my guiding light. Bullhorn’s streamlined workflow and added functionality from The Bullhorn Marketplace has us covered from front-office to back. Over the past 3 years we've transitioned with ease from a relatively paper based process to a software based solution; we've been able to simplify our time and expense process through the web, broadcast opportunity via Bullhorn Reach and quickly view our open opportunity at the click of a button. Bullhorn truly is our Heads-Up Display as we manage the agency side of full-life cycle recruiting.
