Bullhorn CRM Reviews

“Easy to use but feels outdated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The system felt slow and outdated and I got frustrated because searches sometimes returned inaccurate results.

“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This platform feels like one of the most outdated systems I have used.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.

“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.

“Flexible with open api capabilities

Pros

I like the flexibility and capabilities the open APIs provide which make the system very customizable.

Cons

From my experience, it is not designed for temporary recruitment and it does not handle shift work well at all.

“Excellent applicant and client tracking

Pros

The applicant and client tracking is excellent and it is very transparent. It also has helpful features for monitoring KPIs and I can easily integrate it with third-party apps.

Cons

Occasionally the app loading times are quite slow and I have noticed customer support sometimes takes a long time to get back to me.

“amazing yet simple CRM solution

Pros

This CRM is excellent and really simple to get around and operate. I find it responds very fast. I can have multiple tabs and pages open at once which is really handy.

Cons

One annoying thing I have run into is the automatic logout. like it can kick in and cause all of the tabs I had open to refresh which gets frustrating.

“User friendly talent tracking and visibility

Pros

I found talent tracking and updates user friendly and I can ensure everyone has visibility too.

Cons

For me being able to save and return to fields would be a valuable addition.

“Easy client access, hard calendar access

Pros

The thing I like is that I am able to access clients easily and keep a very good record of their information and interaction notes on file.

Cons

I noticed that accessing my colleagues calendars and my own calendar was not as easy as I expected.

“Decent essential ats details but expensive

Pros

It is a pretty decent ATS that provides all the essential details I need to keep track of candidates.

Cons

Personally I have found it lacks Japanese integration and other CRMs I have looked at tend to offer more features and better pricing.

“Total lifesaver for modern recruiting

Pros

I have found Bullhorn to be a total lifesaver for anyone recruiting. Its interface feels clean and modern and I can find my way around without fuss. It links up well with the other tools I use which ends up saving me a lot of time. The automation tools are seriously impressive, helping me keep candidate tracking and pipeline management effortless. Also their customer support always responds quickly and has been very helpful in my experience.

Cons

The price felt a little high to me, though I accept that you often get what you pay for. And yes I have seen a few small bugs now and then but in my day to day usage, they have not really interfered with my work.

“Connects well but feels complex

Pros

Bullhorn connects with most of the other systems we use and I can access it while I am on the go.

Cons

To me it feels quite complex and it does not offer the level of customization we require in staffing where clients needs vary widely.

“Easy to use and natural flow

Pros

For me system is easy to use and everything flows naturally.

Cons

I could not find a single thing I disliked on the platform.

“Easy pipeline and job management

Pros

One thing I like is how easy it is to build candidate pipelines, post jobs, monitor opportunities and set up tasks.

Cons

Well I wish it pull in candidate photos like those on LinkedIn so it is easier to recognize people and I have also noticed the site tends to stop functioning correctly after it's been open for roughly five to six hours, requiring a page refresh.

“not a good tool

Pros

In my experience, I found the product really easy to pick up and understand how to use.

Cons

It required entering data twice and its awkward, clunky workflows made it difficult to work efficiently.

“Outdated, slow and unfriendly

Pros

Honestly there is nothing here that really impresses me and the whole thing feels pretty outdated.

Cons

I find it slow, not very user friendly and overall pretty outdated when compared to modern alternatives.

“Easy to browse and use

Pros

I really like that it is easy to browse and to use.

Cons

Occasionally I notice that it tends to be somewhat slow when running.

“Works really well for agencies

Pros

The tool is pretty easy to use and as per me it works really well for recruiting firms and agencies

Cons

It it not ideal for internal recruiting, though I realize that's how they are positioning the product.

“Good for basic useage

Pros

The ease of analyzing CVs and resumes saves me a lot of time.

Cons

It does not integrate as well as I did like with some other software for mass data integration.

“Service Issues

Pros

There is not much great to mention according to me, except for the brand.

Cons

The LinkedIn integration does not work. Bullhorn Analytics was not implemented properly by their vendor.

“Bullhorn - the internal recruiter's best friend

Pros

Its easy to use, cost-effective, customizable and tailored to our needs. The file noting of candidate interactions and the ability to merge profiles easily make it a professional solution, much better than HRIS systems with their built-in ATS. Also it is billed per user, so it is very affordable. The support team is excellent.

Cons

Rolling it out and customizing it was challenging but worth it. The mobile app with default customization is pretty basic and needs improvement. Sometimes viewing CVs on the platform is clunky depending on the CV, but it is still manageable.
