Pros

work from home opportunity - industry leader for recruitment software

Cons

Vista is their equity firm and they run this saas model like an old school 80s sales model of door to door vacuum sales. They don't care about their employees and would rather pay less and turn and burn. And most importantly, they treat their customers like just a number. Unless a client is the biggest revenue producer, they care nothing about the clients that helped build their organization.

Bullhorn Response
11y
We're far from perfect and we're always open to constructive criticism, but this is an entirely unfair characterization. We are incredibly focused on customer and employee experience. Our customer satisfaction jumped up to 94% this year. Our NPS was up by leaps and bounds. Employee engagement is way up. Just look at the trends on this site. We just won Boston business journal's best places to work. And, on our most recent employee survey 94% of the 350 respondents said they would refer a friend to Bullhorn. All that said, we're really sorry you feel this way. That definitely bothers us. We'd love to talk about it and understand what happened to make you so frustrated.

Pros

It's nearly impossible to find a company to work for that has the same culture as Bullhorn. One thing specifically has kept me at Bullhorn: everyone WANTS you to succeed and WANTS to help you succeed, if they can.

Cons

Bullhorn is a work-from-home-first company, so there's not much outside interaction / socializing with your colleagues, unless you work in one of the offices. If that is something that is important to you, when looking for your next employer, you may want to consider working from one of the brick-and-mortar offices Bullhorn has.

Pros

-Brand is well-known, Bullhorn has established their position in the market, navigated numerous highs and lows through the years, and remains at the top -Constantly evolves with the industry, feels like the business strategy is ahead of the curve and not behind the curve -Dynamic and innovative, I learn new things constantly and I am rarely bored here -Consistently promotes from within and encourages career growth via ad-hoc opportunities and stretch projects, invests in talent via leadership programs -Culture of excellence, attracts high-achievers, high standards are balanced with the flexibility of a remote-first environment and trust, leaders treat you like adults and empower you to manage your own time and work -The core values are aligned with my personal values, and employees actually live them (leadership included) -The people are the best: Agile, collaborative, smart, innovative, and they CARE about each other, about the work, and about the industry; global workforce offers incredible opportunities to learn about and work with other people toward a common goal

Cons

-Bullhorn changes and evolves with the industry, which sometimes causes shifts in projects, priorities, and teams. If you don't like change and/or can't connect your day-to-day work to the bigger picture strategy of a company and pivot accordingly, this isn't the place for you. The expectations and pace aren't for everybody (but 10/10 would recommend to the right person).

This is a really terrific review, and is one of the accurate portrayals of our company. For all the PROS, the cons are real - we move quickly, and a certain type of talent thrives here. I hope you continue to love it and feel energized by where we are going - if not, you know where to find me!! - Kelley Morse, CPO
