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🙈Most recruiters said their CRM was out of date.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.

Why Recruitment Data Health is Critical, 3 Ways to Long-Term Data Wealth
Recruitment and it's tech is moving faster than ever. But if your ATS/CRM is full of duplicates, outdated records, or incomplete contact details, you’re not just losing time—you’re losing revenue.Plus, Lisa recently attended Bullhorn's Automation and AI summit and the key "disabler" for engaging effectively with automation and AI was data health (or lack of!)Data Stealth or Data Wealth?As a recruitment leader, you rely on your CRM to power your recruiters' productivity, candidate/client experience, and bottom-line performance. But how confident are you in the health / quality of your data?Why does data health matter?💩 30% of CRM data becomes outdated each year🐌 Recruiters lose 4.3 hours/week to manual data issues📉 Dirty data can slash revenue by 12%😱 51% of UK firms say their CRM data isn't accurate enough to use🤒 Only 30% of CRM records are fully up to date🥳 Clean data boosts productivity by 14.6%(Sources: IBM / Experian / Bullhorn)In short: Bad data = missed placements, wasted time, lost revenue.If your Recruitment CRM has incomplete profiles, inconsistent job titles, or duplicate records, it’s not just frustrating—it’s slowing your team down.And if your candidate and client pools aren’t engaged, you're working blindfolded, hands tied behind your back, in a storm. (Metaphors galore!)Pointless Strategies to Clean Your Recruitment DataSome "popular" (but pointless) strategies include:Handing it to a temp / admin with zero sector knowledgeAsking recruiters to do it in their "free time"Ignoring it and piling in more dataThese are great strategies if you have money and time to burn, and data accuracy is not a goal.Our Winning 3-Step TLC Strategy for Data Health and WealthCleaning up your recruitment data involves more than simply giving it a spring clean every now and again. Your data needs to feed today's, tomorrow's, and next year's pipeline.We help recruitment businesses turn messy Bullhorn CRMs into clean, revenue-generating machines with a simple framework:Train recruiters on the “What’s in it for me?” angle so they take ownership of their data.Legacy cleanse: deduplicate, delete, or reactivate cold records.Campaign: engage and enrich new data automatically.No expensive tools. No time-zapping system overhauls. Just smart fixes that work with what you already have.📍 Book a Free Recruitment Data Health ConsultationI’d love to hear how you’re tackling data challenges—and pay it forward with a free 30-minute call to share ideas and insights from the 1000s of recruiters we've work with.Identify quick-win cleanup opportunitiesShare smart tools and automation optionsWhether your recruiters and resourcers struggle with poor candidate matches, too many duplicate records, or “ghost” contacts no one has touched in over a year, we can help you build a practical, recruiter-friendly fix.Ready to clean up your data, reduce costs, and speed up your placements?BOOK YOUR FREE DATA HEALTH CONSULTATION🚀 Why Now?Because recruitment is too competitive to be slowed down by bad data.

Let’s be honest—placing top talent isn’t just about sourcing and sending CVs. It’s about building smart, fast, and proactive processes to manage both your candidates and your clients. And if you’re using Bullhorn, you already have the tools—you just need to use them!Part 4 of our "Optimise Bullhorn" webinar series is for busy recruiters who need to protect and drive their placement processes.

REGISTER NOWBullhorn Tips to Drive Placement SuccessRecruitment is fast-moving, competitive, and let’s face it, a little chaotic at times. If you’re not managing your placement processes effectively, you’re likely either making life hard for yourself or losing out. The data from Bullhorn / CIPD / Linkedin tells us:📉 57% of candidates say they lose interest when communication drops off. That’s over half your shortlist potentially ghosting you.⏳ The best candidates are off the market in just 10 days—meaning delayed client feedback or disjointed processes can kill your placement before it even starts.💼 80% of placements come from just 20% of your Bullhorn database—so if you’re only looking outward and not reactivating past candidates, you’re leaving money on the table.🎯80% of candidates expect to be placed in less than 20 days.🧠 60% of clients say they want better communication from their recruiter. Not more CVs—more value.💑 Only 29% of customers are fully engaged.All of these stats have one thing in common: you need to take control of your process, and not assume that the candidate / client has your (or even their) best interest at heart!And that starts with better Bullhorn usage.🧠What You’ll Learn in the WebinarPart 4 of our "Optimise Bullhorn" webinar series is packed with tips you can use immediately to manage youe time, tasks, and targets.✅ Smarter candidate engagement: How to set tasks and workflows that make follow-up a breeze (and stop candidates slipping through the cracks).✅ Client comms that convert: Use Bullhorn to track touchpoints, get reminders, and maintain proactive communication that wins trust and repeat business.✅ Automation that actually works: We'll talk about how automation can free you up to make more placements.💪Stop Playing Catch-UpIf you and your team is spending too long on admin, or even too long placing, or struggling to manage candidate and client expectations and experience —this free Bullhorn Tips webinar is for you.Your Bullhorn CRM should be your greatest time, task, and target management tool—not a dumping ground.
