Bullhorn ATS & CRM Reviews: 4.0/5 — Solid Choice

Bullhorn has really stepped up their game with features, technology, platforms it can be used on, interface, etc. It's a one stop shop with all the endless add-on's you can do for other business functions like payroll, etc. Bullhorn reach is a nice addition as well.

We seem to have constant issues when using the candidate portal. We get lots of candidates who complain about it not working at times when they are creating a profile to apply for our jobs. A seamless experience needs to be achieved here.

Reporting, one stop shop like software that can bundle a solution for many business objectives in recruiting. Without this software, we would not be able to run the company. We rely on it, and it is the core operating system that runs our company.

What makes Bullhorn stand out among its CRM competitors is that it balances an intuitive, beautiful interface with powerful built-in functionality and vast development capabilities.

Bullhorn offers its users an open development platform, so the opportunities to build and connect with the CRM are pretty much limitless. That being said, because of this there are not too many existing plug-and-play integration options.

With the organization that we have as a result of using Bullhorn we are able to streamline our sales process and utilize new tools that are allowing us to work more efficiently.

I like how the system is connected to other business related links within our client records- ex. LinkedIn, Google maps, Hoovers. Also, the detailed records that can be added to a candidate record in recruiting side.Another good aspect is the instant Chat- this give immediate access to the recruiters working directly on an order or I can communicate company wide if necessary.

Search function isn't as much as a help as I personally would like- you have to have the spelling correct or it will not pick up the record. Needs to be more intuitive- isn't that why most people "search"?- they don't have all the information and are wanting the site to help with that need. On Business Development side- it is rather slow transitioning from a new record added, to what your next task is- ex. adding a new contact on an account.

I am a New Business development representative; bringing in new business and using JobScience to record progress and to connect the recruiting aspect to the record

The reliability of JS representatives; ANDIS VILDAVS in our case! Andis is ALWAYS there to show us new COOL features that will enhance our experience, which has significantly added to the value of JS! The user functionality - it;s quick to pick and learn! You can access candidates through this REALLY COOL map feature, which truly allows you to hone in on your available candidate base and really determine who is going to be an ideal match. Also, quick review of resumes! If you need to review multiple resumes quickly - this is the way to do it!

Reviewing the activity, I wish there was a way to review activity by hoovering over the title line vs. having to go in and open each activity one by one. Getting the right reports setup is a bit challenging, I would love to see this function become more user friendly.

The ability to quickly identify candidates!

How organised it keeps me & keeps track

Not knowing how to use the tool to full potential

Very beneficial as jobscience keeps track of all my candidates and where they are going to too,

As a recruiter, I have seen quite a few systems and this is by far the best I have used. It has a great ATS with feedback and detail on record pages. It help when working in a team system for collaboration and communication.

The search function could be more accurate and have a ranking order.

Recruitment for senior sales executives across the UK,

I very much like how focussed Jobscience is focussed on recruitment. The typical Salesforce platform is great but not specifically for recruiters and it is very useful in this sense.

I would like a better system for logging calls, call backs and leaving notes around prospect clients. This is quite a messy system and I would like to see this improved.

Using jobscience allows me to quickly manage my clients and candidates and it makes the whole process very easy.

Being able to send emails from Bullhorn

Bullhorn goes down too much. too much downtime

Easy to track all communications.

I have experience with Salesforce as a CRM so this transition was easy

there are almost too many options on how to get somewhere

better candidate tracking for sure

Jobscience allowed our organization to consolidate all of our data into one application. It is an intuitive CRM and allowed our team to perform searches with ease!

Learning a new CRM is always a daunting task. When you're in a sales role, you don't have much time to devote to learning a new system, but Jobscience was a breeze!

The most frequent problem in our organization was tracking everyone's communication with our various clients, leads, candidates etc. Jobscience made it easy to view my entire teams communication.

How customizable it is. Whatever your TA needs, wants, and desires, Jobsience is able to perform. The very best part of Jobscience in my opinion is their amazing customer support: they're all over whatever issues you have.

My main gripe is that if you are hiring for the same position across multiple locations, there isn't a good way to distinguish which location it's for, so you have to use the location and/or city by the position title (e.g, 'Dentist Tucson' and 'Dentist Phoenix.'

Essentially just the reporting. I like the source reporting because it's completely objective, whereas sourcing reporting from any of the sources always shows said source to be the top source, which I know isn't the case.

I love being able to make tearsheets and distrubution lists in Bullhorn. It allows me to keep track of potential candiates I want want to reach out to for specific positions. I also love the ability to add candidates to different jobs.

This was not an issue before the most recent update however, because my office is in close proximity to others our talent pool is often shared. I used to be able to share ownership of a candidate profile with other offices but now I cannot. The candidate disappears if they speak with another office and that office takes over ownership. This results and large periods of my day taken up by calling our help desk to have them transfer ownership. I need to be able to see if a candidate is rehire elligible, my worst fear is bringing someone unstable into our office or sending to a client because I can't see their history with another office. We have unstable candidates in our system who have brought guns to work and made threats. We need to be able to share this information with eachother.

Bullhorn allows me to categorize candidates int differnt pools effeciently. The search function allows me to find candidates that have specific work history that my clients are looking for.

I like how Bullhorn can be utilized for multiple purposes, for example, for onboarding and back office and as an ATS

There isn't that much Automation or can't send out text messages.

It serves as an extensive database to house candidates. Used to pipelining candidates

I feel like Bullhorn is user friendly for recruiters and sales.

There are a lot of glitches especially when parsing resumes.

Not sure what is being improved- it has been pretty much the same since I started using it.

Bullhorn is easy to navigate and connects/ties in with my other platforms

Bullhorn has lots of technical difficulties. Seems like it goes down once or twice a month atleast

Lets me easily track my candidates

I like all the options of details you can add in for candidates -- plus the ability to build mass groups based on candidate features. I also enjoy the option to put in notes for every sales/recruitment conversation / being able to edit the notes to keep yourself and your teammates up to date.

It can be quite finicky when searching for names - duplicate contacts are an issue when they come inbound versus manually adding, because then notes can get lost.

Keeping track of candidate and sales contact conversations: this is helpful to jog memories when you don't speak to someone for 6+ months so that you remain in the know and up to date on situations.

Bullhorn makes specific call sheets or tears that list folks for recruiters/managers to call and email, cutting down on personal time sourcing qualified candidates and giving back time for the more meaningful conversations with leads!

As there are always places for improvement, Bullhorn could make their tools more versatile and easier to access, including improving their mobile application software!

Bullhorn quickly and efficiently collects qualified candidates for open job opportunities one is looking to fill. It sources the candidates for you and provides contact information for the individual cutting down on personal sourcing!

We had a web browser plug in that automatically created a profile and added a resume into our database when looking at resumes on job boards. Also, bullhorn is very easy to use in comparison to other ats's I have used

Search function wasn't very intuitive and I feel didn't always return the results I had searched for (ex - location based searches returned resumes outside of location of intended search)

Creating a database of candidates to use in the future. Track open jobs. Track candidates or gross through recruiting life cycle. As a manager, track recruiter activity

The filtering function is great and super user friendly

There are a lot of steps to export candidates when needed

We were able to more easily find candidates for roles

The vast array of fully integrated partners. Forward-thinking technology and overall mentality. Herefish element.

Implementation of the full Bullhorn & Prism (back office) did not go smoothly. Many issues, and/or being told "no, we can't do that," after having been promised certain things initially. Finally seeing some resolution and fixes.

Better searching capabilities and usage of data. Expanding on employee engagement and communication with Herefish. Better matching of candidates based on skills outlined.

Very intuitive when learning and navigating

Crashed from time to time, would lose data when fields were incorrectly filled out, browser it's most compatible with is Internet Explorer, and little glitch-type annoyances

Tracking candidate and client information and interactions in the staffing industry

I liked organizing calls into tearsheets and being able to parse resumes easily

Bullhorn took a while to learn, sometimes resumes would get lost in the cracks

We were parsing resumes from job boards or LinkedIn. We were able to store old resumes and phone numbers to call candidates and record interactions

The front office is very slick. Much more modern than Akken (what we switched from)

The back office is not great. The time and expense sucks, having to manually pull in assignments. Also, when you send a document through the back office there's no notification that it's been signed, so you have to constantly check on it.

i like how the profiles pull info from the resumes and auto-populate

Bullhorn is actually quite accommodating programming since it expands deals, improve administration conveyance and the streamlines duties. This product gives the total adjusting stage to all phases of recruiters enlisting and this product also permits us for precise announcing and development.

Bullhorn comes up short on a portion of the usefulness of the other CRM platform. For smaller organizations it is pricey software and they can't bear the cost of this proficient programming. Another con of this product is that there isn't much capacity to modify the platform. Another issue that you confronted is that occasionally it is moderate, and it will log you out on the off chance that you are away.

This product can be the best for the enrolling recruitment.

An efficient Applicant Tracking System for potential candidates. Its most highlighted feature is strong reporting. The third party solution teams fully support Bullhorn too which makes it a leading company in the industry. Quicker onboarding for new projects. Hires better workflow management.

Bullhorn can definitely work on some of its aspects to make it even a better application in the market. For starters, the integration with outlook or exchange can be easier, in addition to that, there is very restricted custom reporting. Resume Parsing can also updated to a more efficient feature.

Poorly trained users can be a loss to your cause.

It is the powerful programming that totally fulfilled clients with it's all round structured and extremely well thought and created highlights, which also further helps in expanding the profitability of the organization. Advertisements or job entries are automatically updated further displaying them in respective newsfeeds.

There is a whole lot of room for Bullhorn’s improvement, the mobile application does not have the complete functionalities, the users are unable to text each other which makes it average software in front of its competitors. Employees need a lot of training before they get the hang of it.

Even though the application is effective, how the user handles it greatly effects your work

Bullhorn is great in the event that one has a truly enormous staffing or enlisting business, for in excess of 200 selection representatives size.It has an open API that incorporates with a ton of specialist organizations. Modern and natural interface that is intended to work the manner in which people work.Automatically dissects captured information and presents bits of knowledge progressively.

Bullhorn is truly burdensome and difficult to explore. On the off chance that you are searching for usability, search for something else.It is costly, evaluating as well as, you will require a devoted administrator to keep it functional.It isn't worked for a scouting use case. In the event that you need to convey a world class understanding to customers, it won't empower that for you.

It makes tasks easier for the staff and also enables them to make more money by placing more candidates, faster.

How easy it is to find candidates that have strong backgrounds

You have to clear your cookies every day for it to work

A benefit would be finding quality candidates

It does the work. Bullhorn is good for any larger scale company in the recruiting world. It has all the functions needed for a larger organization, with logging phone calls, candidates, and sending out opportunities.

There's a lot of clicking to get from one point to another. Let's say I am going to read a contacts notes. I have to go click to the company,, click to contacts, click to the person, click to open notes, click to read all notes. A lot of clicking to see the information. Also, it laggs from time to time.

For our organization +100 people, we are able to do everything that we need to be a successful recruiting company. All our information is stored there and accessible which makes it better for an organization to run efficiently.

allows us to maintain the necessary information about candidates

Nothing! The marketplace allows for many integrations

The collaboration of candidates and managers
