Overall Satisfaction with Bullhorn ATS & CRM
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.
- Only had it for a few months, but I'm finding it to be worthless.
- The technology is from the 80's, and I was using computers in the 80's so I remember.
- You can get a human being on the phone - eventually.
- The help center information was written by programmers for programmers.
Used Sendouts for 15+ years. Bullhorn bought Sendouts and introduced their product as an alternative to Sendouts which was being fazed out due to its tie to Internet Explorer. In 36 years in the business, this is my fourth database and the most disappointing, by far.
