### "Bullhorn has great partnerships!"

October 25, 2017

4.0

Pros

What I love most about Bullhorn is not only the easy interface but also their partnership with vendors. They have a marketplace that allows you find so many great tools to help your business and they all integrate with Bullhorn!

Cons

They have some things that are hard coded that I wish we could change. Also, they tend to tell customers about new features and give a date that it will be live but it usually takes longer than expected. For example, they said the new version would be rolled out in July and when I spoke to them about when we would be getting it they said it would be closer to December.

### "Bullhorn has set the bar high for CRM - GREAT!"

November 4, 2016

5.0

Bullhorn has been great to work with. The CRM is a CRM for people who want to develop, maintain, and manage relationships with clients and candidates. The Bullhorn staff is always coming up with new and innovative ideas. The company does not sit still. They are attempting to do more, integrate more, and combine the interesting reality of automation and personal relationships.

Pros

The features of Bullhorn are excellent. The fields that can be customized and arranged per the user, the way work flow is presented and managed. The search tools are great. The task list and tearsheets are helpful.

Cons

The only con I can think of is the mass email function. When recipients get an email from a mass email, it might have "bullhorn" in the "from" portion of the email. Not too big of a deal, especially if you don't send mass messages

### "Amazing"

May 1, 2021

4.0

Overall, I recommend using this if we need to enter the candidates and requisitions, in order to keep in touch with the candidates. Not a very helpful tool when it comes to built-in scheduling but we can still send out emails and communicate. I would use it to maintain a candidate database/inventory.

Pros

I used Bullhorn for almost 4 years. I love Bullhorn to maintain my talent pool and inventory. This is a great way of saving candidate Data and then accessing it whenever we need it. I can't even explain how much this has made my life easier in terms of searching for talent in the Bullhorn database if I am ever stuck and not able to find a candidate through any of the job boards. with just a could of searches, we can find a candidate we maybe spoke to 3 years ago who might be a good fit for a specific role. A great way to use and maintain data. A very good tool to generate reports as well/

Cons

Not a very good ATS system. Doesn't give us the flexibility of scheduling candidates too much.

### "My experience with Bullhorn ATS"

August 3, 2022

3.0

overall my experience was not good kind of average i used Ceipal and Jobdiva which is more user friendly

Pros

I like the usability of the product provide the best experience in terms of tracking, searching , updating, and many more with great UI and work great on chrome but there are many things which makes recruitments very uneasy and long process to upload a consultant on portal.

Cons

verification of vendor, creating job, and less usable filter can make recruitment process much easy and less time taking

### "Bullhorn review"

August 17, 2022

4.0

My overall experience with BH has been good. I suggest that each company create an outline of what they want the system to do and what they want out of it, then customize it to get out of it what you need.

Pros

I really like the to really customize the software for each companies specific weants & needs.

Cons

I always felt the ability to search out specific candidates was lacking but that may be more of how my company used the system. You really need to put a lot of information in about each candidate in order to really get the full benefit of searching for specific candidates.

### "Bullhorn Review"

September 16, 2022

5.0

Bullhorn has been helpful for day to day business and I'd recommend it to anyone who works for a staffing/recruiting type company.

Pros

Bullhorn pulls candidates from job boards for us and allows us to move the candidates to eRecruiter easily. As a staffing company, it is very useful and makes our jobs easier so that we can get in touch with real candidates faster than ever.

Cons

Occasionally, it will pull information and put it in the wrong place. It is east to catch but does slow down the process.

Pros

Very good User interface, reliable and light work with chrome and Mozilla fine and provide lots for feature for recruitment and searching, integration with job portal work great

### "Fijn programma!"

February 12, 2024

4.0

Het is een fijn programma als je het eenmaal door hebt. Voor wat ik met het systeem moet doen, is het een werkbaar programma

Pros

Het makkelijk zoeken, dat de geschiedenis van de zoekopdrachten links in beeld onder elkaar komen te staan.

Cons

Dat zoeken beter gaat op achternaam. Het zou fijn zijn als de zoekopdracht net zo goed is als je zoekt op voornaam

### "Recruiting Made Simple"

April 10, 2020

5.0

Overall this is a great tool for any recruiter and will keep them on top of their numbers and give them the functionality they need to get their job done.

Pros

Bullhorn was the easiest software I've used in Recruiting. I like it's ability to track and log activity and it's ease of reporting. I know what my call count is at all times and the number of calls I need to make to hit my number. The reminders are extremely helpful as well.

Cons

I have no complaints about the software. I feel that it could improve it's user interface and make it a little more user friendly.

### "Connect to Bullhorn and Get to the next level of CRM"

August 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

It is one of the best CRM I have ever seen in my life. In today’s Business-to-Business (B2B), the communication isn’t limited to 1 on 1 conversation, it is now converted from one team to another team. So we are unable to record all the conversation, that’s why a concept had been aroused in form of Bullhorn so that we are able to record all the important information during conversations. It is very easy to use and is very efficient in its working. Variety of functions can be found here, mainly for searching and sorting information and for reporting data as well. The reason why I said it be one of the best it is just because it offers best customer service in the industry as well as get updates in every month. Here, you can post jobs easily and can set reminders. Lots of customization is also available here.

Cons

Even though it is a great software, if it provides more flexibility on a mobile device then it would have been great. Another tremendous problem is that it is very costly i.e. not affordable for everyone even if one wishes. That’s the only thing in which it lags the most!! However, Timeouts in times of active workings is quite cumbersome, so that should also be improved. Moreover, it causes a lot of glitches like will throw you out if parsing or updating of resumes is not done properly. It also has some difficulties and issues regarding tracking multiple branches, reporting due to tracking issues and many more.

### "Good for big companies"

November 24, 2023

4.0

Works really good with large teams, used globally for tracking the team's onboarding process, exceeded expectations.

Pros

Both applicant tracking and sales CRM is offered by Bullhorn, using it is easy, dragging and dropping is nice to have. Getting integrated with other software never occurred a problem. The customer service was helpful and responsive.

Cons

Not very customization friendly, some forms that need mandatory fields should be able to managed by users.

### "I work for an IT recruiting and solutions firm. Bullhorn is our ATS. Use it daily. "

June 16, 2018

4.0

I previously worked for a large staffing firm - we had a homegrown system that stinked. it was slow - would always crash and really demotivated you to want to log information. Bullhorn fixes that - the software is easy to work with and it works how it should.

Pros

How is links LinkedIn profiles to their pages within Bullhorn. And if I come across someone on linkedin - it tells me if they are in Bullhon. Also like that I can see if people have been "prescreened" and then look at those notes.

Cons

Logging of interviews - I don't like how it wants to send an invite for this. Additionally - I don't like that currently when I log in (my credentials are saved) I have to log in 3 times for them to actually take.

### "Bullhorn ATS"

August 1, 2019

5.0

Pros

This ATS has everything! Its user interface is unbeatable. The ATS requires little to no training because it is so simple to use, but still has complex and detailed features. I am able to integrate Bullhorn with email, ring central, our video interview platform and various job boards so all work can be done on the system.

Cons

The Jobs / Opportunities part can be a little repetitive and complex. But just something to get used to!

### "Excellent ATS System"

March 1, 2017

4.0

Bullhorn is an excellent ATS system for recruiters, allowing for tracking of candidates and requirements through the entire hiring cycle. Bullhorn even allows for the ease of Resource Management with the ability to keep track of when projects are scheduled to end. The User Interface is very user friendly and intuitive. Configuring Bullhorn for the look and feel I want is also very simple. The functionality to be able to track emails to and from both candidates and hiring managers is a fantastic tool which helps in looking at history, both for future hires from hiring managers as well as to see interactions with candidates and employees in the past.

Pros

Excellent user interface with the ability to have various tabs on candidates so that different parts of the organization can see what they need. Tracking of emails with both Candidates/Employees as well as Hiring Managers/Client Contacts History is kept of progress through each job Candidates can be in the process for several jobs at once Search is very easy to find candidates in the database that match the job. It is also very simple to search for past jobs that may be similar to see candidates that had previously been successful.

### "Bullhorn for job seekers"

February 26, 2019

5.0

Extremely helpful to matching the right people with the right jobs.

Pros

As a business owner and resume writer, I work with recruiters every day. We work together with the Bullhorn Recruiting Software to ensure applicant resumes are written and formatted to pass through ATS systems as well as for tracking applicant skills, expertise and background work areas.

Cons

It not necessarily difficult to use; however, it does take some study and use of regularly to learn the varying screens etc.

### "Full cycle recruiting must haves! "

September 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

If you are doing end to end recruitment, Bullhorn is the best applicant tracking system for you! This software is very OC in tracking candidates progress from pre-screen stage to placement. It is very detailed oriented in terms of documentation. You can send sms and emails inside bullhorn. You can manage tearsheets - allows you to sort candidates of the same profile in a group. It stores resumes of candidates and allows you to do sourcing as well plus there is a built in job board that allows you to access careerbuilder and monster.

Cons

Could have gone better if you can send sms more than 136 characters.

### "Bullhorn's the best, except at support"

March 8, 2019

5.0

Exceptional product, features, functionality, and integrations. I have been used as a customer reference many times at Bullhorn.

Pros

Bullhorn is the most comprehensive, full-featured, PaaS for recruiting, especially if you're a Recruiting Agency like our firm. Our job board, Cloud VoIP and a host of other integrations make Bullhorn indispensable. User since 2008.

Cons

Bullhorn has only recently got the message that product support and customer success are as important as features and functionality. They have upped their game (albeit from a low base) and the results show it. They have only recently added an excellent Inbound Marketing integration (with SalesFusion) but the pricing is contact-based (like Mail Service Providers or other CRMs) so it's out of reach for most agencies, especially us with 465K contacts!

### "My experience with Bullhorn"

September 21, 2016

5.0

I have been using Bullhorn as a Recruiter for over two years and it was truly a positive and quick learning curve. I had no previous experience using any other ATS system, and found BH to have a lot of interactive and useful features right away. It's truly a great way to stay connected with candidates by for example creating tearsheets, and also a great way to stay communicated internally with other Recruiters and Account Managers regarding job updates, candidate updates, interview scheduling, candidate searches, etc.
