Bullhorn CRM

“everything feels like junk”

Pros

The support team has been excellent and honestly thats pretty much the only positive I can share about this product, because in my experience everything else feels like junk.

Cons

This platform feels like one of the most outdated systems I have used. Our company saw them go through mass layoffs and we watched a lot of staff leave for Loxo that's who we moved to and it is clear why. Adding people to the database is a chore. Nothing integrates well and almost every feature costs extra. Even basic email automation is an add-on and when we used it, it felt spammy and could not be tailored properly. The LinkedIn sync barely works. There is no AI in the product and no built-in note-taking. Simple tasks take too many clicks and finding information is hard because the search function is the worst I have encountered. Overall it is one of the most expensive platforms and it does not justify the cost.

“Easy to use but feels outdated”

Pros

It is really easy to use and it pulled information from LinkedIn without any hassle. I also think organizations can tweak the look to match their branding and I could post jobs directly to boards with just a few clicks.

Cons

The system felt slow and outdated and I got frustrated because searches sometimes returned inaccurate results.

“Dependable and modular recruiting platform”

Pros

This is a really dependable, modular platform. I have used it for almost ten years as a recruiter and it pretty much covers everything I need. The workflows make sense, candidate and client records are well-organized and easy to search and it offers a lot of customization flexibility. A few add-ons could really boost the system and the integrations to connect it with our tech stack are easy to set up and maintain.

Cons

I find some of the outreach features like email blasts and bulk messaging feel a little dated and lack much flexibility in how you can vary campaigns or personalize sends.
