Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

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

Return on Investment

Bullhorn was not that effective as per expectations and we had to revert back to our old ATS
Availability of candidates is very less in Bullhorn thus leading to lack of business for the recruitment firm
Due to bullhorn cost came down as previously the company was using an ATS and independent resume boards like Monster, Careebuilder, Dice.

Alternatives Considered

JobDiva and CEIPAL ATS (TalentHire)

We were using JobDiva ATS however due to JobDiva being very costly we pivoted to Bullhorn however that led to a lot of challenges. Bullhorn didnt had the same kind of resume pool thus not allowing the recruiters to source qualified resumes. Bullhorn's user interface is much more complicated and less user friendly as compared to JobDiva. We eventually had to move back to JobDiva as the company was not able to afford the loss of business even when Bullhorn was cheaper than JobDiva.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bullhorn is well suited for large recruitments firms wherein there are upwards of 200 employees and it will not be favourable to use Bullhorn if there are just 40-50 active users. Bullhorn is suited when the organization doesnt want to invest in multiple tools like Monster resume search, Careerbuilder, Dice Resume and use just one system and get all the other portals integrated.
