Bullhorn can be slow at times

The mobile app- hard to manage

Searching for candidates can become hard (won't populate a candidate if you don't have full name when searching) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to easily track placements and candidate profiles. Integrates with a back office portal that allows us to easily send contracts out and collect timesheets. I like that there is customer support readily available, but many questions end of being out of scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not fully customizable without having to purchase additional add-ons. For example, getting extra reports can at times cost hundreds of dollars. Need to work with an implementation partner to receive upgrades. UI is not user-friendly unless you have a developer background. Hard to edit any documents without having to fully re-map the pages.

I have used Salesforce in the past and I'd say Bullhorn not only has an easier way to navigate its platform but the amount of tools I can use in it makes my job that much easier! Being able to pick and choose how to use the platform with ease makes my job as a sales recruiter faster and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far with using Bullhorn, I haven't come across many issues. I have been using it for over a month so far and so far so good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Bullhorn allows us to see everything in one place, which is particularly beneficial as we operate across three offices. This centralised system saves us time, increases our placements, and boosts revenue. I also find the fact that Bullhorn is always evolving very positive, as it helps us keep up with our competitors. I value the automation and analytics features, which are crucial to our operations, and I appreciate the great customer success team that is always available to assist us.

I find the CV parsing feature in Bullhorn could be more efficient. Currently, the task is quite admin heavy and mundane for recruiters, suggesting that it could be streamlined or improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the CEO of a fast-scaling human capital firm, I’ve worked with several CRMs and ATS platforms over the years — and Bullhorn stands out for its combination of reliability, configurability, and depth. We've used Bullhorn across multiple divisions (Search, Staffing, and Consulting), and it has proven to be a solid foundation as we’ve grown and evolved our business.

What We Like:

Configurability: We’ve been able to tailor workflows and automations to fit the distinct rhythms of our Search vs. Staffing divisions.

Robust Reporting: The custom reporting and dashboard functionality has been key in giving visibility into pipeline health, recruiter activity, and client engagement.

Marketplace Ecosystem: The integrations with partners (like Herefish, Sense, and LinkedIn) make it easier to streamline operations without reinventing the wheel.

Scalability: Whether we’re placing one executive or managing hundreds of contingent staff, Bullhorn has scaled with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What Could Improve:

Some of the UI/UX can feel dated compared to newer platforms.

Admin configuration (especially in reporting and automation) requires a steeper learning curve or external support.

Mobile experience is functional but limited — especially for recruiters on the go.

The platform is so robust, I am confident we are duplicating efforts with other tech because we are unaware of some of the capabilities.

Analytics are rigid and don't provide the ideal actionable insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love a number of features about bullhorn- the customization options, the ease of use and most importantly their customer support! As an app that I use everyday, it is imperative to use something versatile and that's exactly what Bullhorn is! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside to Bullhorn is that it didn't come into my work life sooner! Prior to Bullhorn my team used a few different applications and now we don't need to- everything is all inside Bullhorn! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a recruiter, efficiency, organization, and candidate experience are everything—and Bullhorn CRM has been a game-changer in all three areas. Since implementing Bullhorn into my workflow, I've seen a significant boost in how smoothly I can manage my pipeline, communicate with clients and candidates, and ultimately close roles faster.

What I love most about Bullhorn is how intuitive and customizable it is. Whether I’m tracking candidate activity, logging calls, or scheduling interviews, everything is centralized and easy to access. The automation features—like follow-up reminders and email templates—help me stay on top of my tasks without letting anything fall through the cracks.

Bullhorn isn’t just a CRM—it’s the backbone of my recruiting process. It’s helped me build better relationships, place candidates faster, and focus more time on what I do best: connecting great people with great opportunities.

Highly recommend it to any recruiter looking to elevate their workflow and results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great to have a mobile application that works as well as the desktop application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Bullhorn is how user-friendly and efficient it is for managing candidates, jobs, and client relationships all in one place. The streamlined workflow, powerful search functionality, and easy integration with other tools save me time and help me stay organized. It truly makes recruiting more productive and less stressful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there’s not much to dislike about Bullhorn — it’s a powerful platform. If I had to mention one thing, it would be that the initial learning curve can feel a bit steep for new users. That said, once you get the hang of it, the system is incredibly efficient and truly enhances workflow. The support team is also very responsive, which makes a big difference! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a recruiter juggling corp-to-corp submissions, resume evaluations, and rapid client follow-ups, Bullhorn has made my day-to-day not just manageable—but efficient. The candidate tracking and parsing features are spot-on, and the way it streamlines communication between candidates and hiring managers is a major time-saver.

I particularly appreciate how intuitive the system is when managing multiple job orders and candidate pipelines. The custom workflows and automation tools let me focus more on relationship-building and less on admin work.

Support is also responsive and actually helpful—which, let’s be honest, is rare. Bullhorn gets the recruitment grind, and it shows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One recurring issue is with the Daxtra integration — it tends to log out frequently, which disrupts the workflow when parsing resumes or reviewing candidates. It would be great to have a more stable session or auto-login feature to avoid the repeated interruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bullhorn is a useful sales and recruiting software that makes it easier to stay organized and manage daily tasks. It offers a lot of helpful features like tracking candidates, keeping records of client communication, and scheduling follow-ups, all in one place. Once you get the hang of it, Bullhorn helps simplify your workflow and cuts down on the time you would spend switching between different tools. I also like how it keeps everything in one system, making it easier to stay on top of your work and be more productive throughout the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though Bullhorn is a good program overall, there are a few things that could be improved. Some features are not easy to find, and there isn’t a clear section or tab that shows everything the program can do. This can make it frustrating when you’re trying to locate a specific tool or function. Another issue is that Bullhorn can sometimes feel slow when loading, though it’s hard to know if it’s because of the software or just a weak internet connection. If Bullhorn improved its navigation and loading speed, it would be an even better tool for sales and recruiting teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
