Recruiters and leaders — ready to do less admin, less sourcing, and make more placements?
Do you need to be less reliant on LinkedIn and Job Boards, and have a more engaged, valuable database of candidates?
Then Part 1 of our "Optimise Bullhorn" webinar series is for you. We'll fixate on candidate management and engagement.
Let's show you some tips to engage with candidates effortlessly. Let's build stronger relationships using Bullhorn’s nurturing features: communicate, optimise, protect, PLACE! (And repeat!)
💡 Why Candidate Management and Engagement Matters
We asked recruiters about their candidate management strategies. The results?
🙈Most recruiters said their CRM was out of date.
🙉Even more admitted their candidate engagement was reactive at best.
🙊And LinkedIn and job boards still dominate, draining time and budget.
AKA vicious cycle. You source externally, load even more data into Bullhorn, and don't have time to code it. Then your Bullhorn data gets colder and becomes irrelevant, and sourcing becomes slower and costlier. This vicious cycle repeats.
📊 But these candidate management stats tell a different story!
70%+ of placed candidates already exist in your CRM.
It costs 6x more to source a new candidate than to re-engage.
Recruiters spend up to1/3 of their time on admin.
Re-engaged candidates are 2x more likely to be placed.
Now ask yourself: What if that vicious cycle could be flipped into a virtuous circle?
💥 From Vicious to Virtuous: Using Automation to Flip the Recruitment Script
Imagine a virtuous circle where your CRM is rich with warm, engaged talent, that's ready to refer and / or be placed. Oh, what joy to have a robust talent pipeline, and time to effectively manage it!
Join us for this free webinar and learn how to use Bullhorn and smart workflows to build—and sustain—a thriving talent pipeline.

Tech-Rich but Time-Poor: Is Your Recruitment Stack a Frankenstein’s Monster?
In the recruitment world, we are currently "tech-rich but time-poor."The recruitment market is currently flooded with "cool tools" and creating the risk of a fragmented tech stack, which ironically creates more process lag.As recruitment agency owners, you’ve likely been told for years that the right tech is the silver bullet for your growth. Perhaps you’ve invested in:The best CRMs.The latest AI sourcing tools.And cutting-edge automation and analytics platforms. But for many of you, instead of a streamlined powerhouse, you may have ended up with a "Frankenstein’s Monster" - a collection of brilliant tools that don’t talk to each other (and a team of "disconnected recruiters" with the best will in the world still delivering relatively manual processes.)The next Power Hive events will dive into how you move past the hype to find the actual gold. Because here is the hard truth: RoI isn't found in the features of a single tool; it’s found in the flow between them.The Problem: Integration DebtWhen your tech stack is fragmented, your team pays the price in "manual labour".If a recruiter has to spend 20 minutes a day moving data from a sourcing tool to a CRM, or manually updating a spreadsheet to track marketing leads, or worse, paralysed by choices and poor data, you aren't just losing time, you’re losing the very RoI you bought the tech to generate.📌Technology is not as a standalone pillar. It's the engine that powers your Recruitment Business, Recruiters, and Marketing. If the engine isn't connected to the wheels, you aren't going anywhere.3️⃣Pillars for Maximum Tech RoITo get a real return on your investment, your ecosystem needs to solve 3 specific challenges...1. The "Single Source of Truth"RoI starts with data and process integrity.If your rectec tool finds a "purple unicorn" candidate but that data doesn't instantly sync to your CRM, that candidate is essentially invisible to the rest of your business.📌To maximise RoI, your CRM must be the heart of the business, with every other tool acting as a limb that feeds it information in real-time.2. Reclaiming the "Human" in RecruitmentI'm delighted to be a part of The Power Hive. It's built on the mission of Making Human Connections.Ironically, the best way to be more human is to be more automated. Maximum RoI happens when tech removes the "click-work." Imagine a world where a candidate applies, an AI agent screens them, a calendar invite is sent, and the CRM is updated, all while your recruiter is on the phone actually consulting. That is where the profit lies: buying back your people’s time so they can do what they do best.📌Move beyond the theory that tech "roboticises" recruitment, and move towards it rehumanising the process - which is the one goal most of my clients have.3. The Closed Feedback LoopWhen tech is connected, you can run faster, make data-driven decisions, and can see which source (Marketing) actually leads to a placement (Revenue).📌You can’t calculate RoI if you can’t track the journey from lead to cash.The "Power Move": Audit Your Stack (and Expect More!)Before you buy the next "shiny object" in recruitment, perform a quick audit of your current setup. Ask yourself: Keep, Kill, or Connect?Keep: Is it being used to its full potential?Kill: Is it a standalone "silo" that adds more work than it saves?Connect: Can this tool be integrated via API or middleware (like Zapier or Make) to automate a manual task?📌And rinse and repeat this process every year, even if you have no intention of buying new tech. It's just good sense to look your tech in the eye and ensure it is fulfilling it's purpose.Join the ConversationAt the upcoming events in Leeds and Manchester, we’re going to look at the practical "how-to" of connecting these dots. Some thmese will be:People - How do you get your people performing better?Technology - How do you get more efficiency from your technology stack for a better RoI?The goal isn't to have the most tech; it’s to have the most connected tech and recruiters. Have confidence that when the tech works, the people (and you) win.Find out more about the events here. Perhaps I'll see you there?

5 Tips for LinkedIn Jedi Masters (and Recruiters)
Recruiters need more of the 3Cs – candidates, clients and colleagues. Jedi need more rebels to help them defeat The Empire! I often compare Recruiters to Jedi – they both use dark forces to control the universe! And they both have some significant tech at their disposal which can make a massive difference.Follow these Jedi tricks for Recruiting Smarter with LinkedInBeing a Star Wars fan at Barclay Jones may not be a prerequisite, but it goes along way if you hate movies 1-3! And with Star Wars Day being an annual event (like International Recruiter’s Day) I’ve penned some power user (Jedi) tricks for Recruiters using LinkedIn:Get your Profile Headline actually saying what you do rather than what’s on your business card – Recruiter at ABC Resourcing means nothing and is likely to be missed in favour of “Specialist in SAP Recruitment, working across the UK with SAP Contractors” – god forbid you actually come up in candidate searches…!But how could they be jamming us if they don’t know… that we’re… coming?Increase your sector-specific contacts – the global average for recruiters is 650… poor “must try harder”. Spend 10 mins a day looking for the coffees you want to have with clients and candidates and make it happen – don’t just source for the vacancy you have today. Your clients and candidates expect (and pay) you to be better than them.Do, or do not do. There is no try.Running a crap group? Shut it down or gear it up – don’t let it dangle.What a piece of junk!Attract the followers of your clients’ company pages – 71% of them are candidates wanting to work there (according to stats from LinkedIn). Post something there or comment on their content.Travelling through hyperspace ain’t like dustin’ crops, boy!Save your searches (3 for people, 10 for jobs and if you have paid for accounts even more). Get the data coming to you – you’re not measured on how long you spend on LinkedIn!The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here.I was going to end this blog with “may The Force be with you” but that would be just too obvious, instead,This is Red 5, I’m going in.(If I’m honest, I feel a little dirty now!) And I thought they smelled bad on the outside.Bullhorn ATS / Analytics / Automation RoIWe are Automation and Analytics Buddies (and Jedi!) set on helping ambitious recruitment businesses who want to increase speed and sales.We coach to inspire, and build your automations and metrics so you can recruit and sell!Plus, through our Bullhorn Vision service we help generate serious ROI from your Bullhorn, data, and people.READ ABOUT OUR AUTOMATION / ANALYTICS BUDDY SERVICEBOOK A FREE BULLHORN ROI CONSULTATION
